4 Ways to Support Your Immune System, Naturally

We all know that now, possibly more than ever, is an important time to support our immune systems.  Here are some tried and true tips to make sure you are doing all you can to stay above the wellness line.  Make sure and read on to the end to get a free recipe for our immune-boosting roller bottle, a must have year-round to stay well!
#1 Understanding the source
...can protect your health. 
 
This goes beyond just eating “all-natural” or “organic.” Being well informed when purchasing home & personal care products are also critical to your long-term well-being. Just because it’s on the store shelf, does NOT mean it is safe! In today’s world, you wouldn’t believe the level of chemical contamination that’s allowed to penetrate the things designed to be put into and onto our bodies! And remember, what goes ON your body ends up IN your body!  There is SO MUCH to learn about this, which is why I love teaching about it.

#2 Get some rest.

Getting enough sleep is so important for overall health. When you are sleep deprived it can take a huge toll on your body and mind. Getting into a night time routine is a good way to help you ease into sleep easier. Turn off your electronics, diffuse calming essential oils, read a book or meditate using an app like Calm or Insight Timer, and drink some sleepy time herbal tea.
#3 Prevention is the most effective tool
...when it comes to safeguarding your wellness. 
 
A healthy lifestyle is all about incorporating daily practices and products that support your wellness. Our favorite things to incorporate daily are antioxidant drinks and essential oils. Once we started incorporating just these two things, our wellbeing shifted dramatically. We now actually have energy to go and work out, something we always knew we needed to do, but just couldn’t get around to doing. Thanks to this secret daily drink, we’ve got more energy than we’ve had in years, and don’t remember the last time we saw a doc for anything other than a routine checkup!
#4 You are what you eat.  
 
Eating minimally processed foods is key. An ingredients list the length of a novel? No thank you! If you have to Google each unpronounceable five-syllable ingredient, you shouldn't be eating it. Another culprit for making us sick? Sugar and artificial sweeteners. Reduce or eliminate your intake of these two immune-busters and you will immediately see an improvement in your health.
