Are you ready for Cold & Flu Season?
by Dr. Jennah Dieter

Is your immune system primed and ready for the cold New England

 2. Eat as close to nature as possible!
Your diet should consist mainly of local/organic meats, vegetables and fruit with a focus on more "warming foods" during the colder months. Hearty soups, crock pot meals, and root vegetables help warm the body to prepare for the colder weather. Nuts are also a good source of protein with the healthiest nuts being shelled pecans, almonds and walnuts. Reducing sugar intake in the diet is also key; this means reducing refined breads, packaged foods, fruit juices, soda, cookies, cakes and ice cream!  Sugar weakens the immune system and feeds pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungus, and even cancer cells!

  3. Get enough rest.
Not getting enough sleep will tend to weaken your immune response. Sleep on your side or your back with your neck supported and spine in proper alignment. 7-9 hours per night is optimum and going to sleep prior to 10:30 PM helps reduce stress on the adrenal glands; an important immune organ.
 
  4. Exercise regularly
Exercise at least 30 min, 4-5 times per week. Exercise causes your body to produce endorphins, which promote a sensation of well-being. Additionally, many peer-reviewed scientific studies have demonstrated that exercise strengthens the immune response. Empiric observations suggest that those people who exercise consistently get sick a lot less than those who don’t. Pilates is wonderful to support the core and spine, while yoga combines relaxation to decrease stress related immune challenges and reduce nerve stress. 
 
 5. Wash your hands several times a day.
Use a natural hand soap to reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses. Do your best to avoid touching your face, eyes, and lips with your hands. The FDA recognizes hand washing as superior to using hand sanitizers, and therefore should not take the place of proper hand washing with soap and water.  

6. Visit your chiropractor.
Chiropractic health care is one of the best treatment methods available for maintaining optimal levels of health and well-being. Visit your chiropractor regularly and make sure you’re performing at your peak! If you do happen to have the beginning signs of cold/flu, head straight to your chiropractor! Adjustments and nutritional therapy can help boost your body's immune potential for faster recovery and prevention of secondary infections.
