Cold & Flu Strike

As the days get cooler, you may be thinking about ways to stay healthy, making sure you keep one step ahead of that winter cold or flu. If you do happen to catch a cold, the good news is there’s therapeutic herbs to help relieve the symptoms of colds and flu to help get you back on your feet again!

The immune system plays a vital role in keeping us healthy. Made up of both cells and organs, the immune system fights off pathogens and other organisms, working hard behind the scenes to keep the body functioning well day in day out. Our immune system relies on us to eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables so it can get enough of the nutrients it needs to work. It also needs us to get enough sleep, so it can go about the very important job of repair while the body’s at rest. If your immune system is low, increasing the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet can help to boost your nutrient intake, and don’t forget to get at least eight hours of sleep every night.
