The following activities are a great way to help your immune system stay strong throughout the year and particularly during flu season:

Personal Hygiene

Eat Vitamin Packed Foods

Minimize processed foods are typically higher in sugar, preservatives, and chemicals and devoid of vitamins and minerals. Too many carbs and sugars upset your gut flora, and feed the bad bacteria, yeast, and fungi that make it difficult for your immune system to fight off the bad bugs. 80% of your immune system lies in your gastrointestinal tract!

Get Plenty of Direct Sunlight

Aim for at least 15 minutes of direct sun rays daily on a large portion of the body. This may be difficult in the winter months so supplementation may be necessary. A blood test checking your Vitamin D levels is advised twice a year to ensure you maintain healthy levels of this immune boosting essential vitamin. Other ways to boost vitamin D is by consuming mushrooms, oily fish, salmon, cheddar and eggs for example.

Sleep and Exercise

Get seven to nine hours of good quality sleep to help your body repair and rejuvenate. If your body is tired and worn out, it will be harder for it to fight off the flu. Get out in the fresh air! Even 30 minutes of walking a day will be beneficial.
