Your Immune System
Focusing on your immune system is important all through the year, but autumn is when I reaffirm my focus on my immune system and on my health. Lots of things happen at this time of year. The holidays start to roll around, with harvest festivals culminating in Halloween with its special foods and candy, especially candy. Then Thanksgiving comes in with its special foods and desserts, especially desserts. Finally, the Christmas season looms large, and whether you’re Christian or not, this holiday comes equipped with its own foods, desserts, and drinks, especially drinks. Eggnog anyone? Or, if you’re Puerto Rican, coquito. Oh, and let’s not forget New Year’s Day, with its own drinks and foods.
Holiday shopping crams adults into shopping malls and stores. School crams kids together in the halls of learning, and in both cases, bacteria and viruses spread fast. Add lack of sleep and eating over-processed foods to this unholy mix, and you have an immune system that’s set up to fail.
What do you do to help keep yourself in top condition during this time of the year? I recommend focusing first on nutrition. It’s easy to reach for a doughnut or candy during this time of year. They’re all over, and by no means am I suggesting that anyone abstain from them. But starting off the day with a nutritious meal is key. How about a Formula 1 shake from Herbalife? It’s nutritious, fast, and delicious. Adding the multi-vitamin and Cell Activator to increase nutrient absorption makes this a powerhouse meal.
What to do next? If you have to go out into the crowds, whether shopping or in school, then you’ll want to be protected from the inside out. Support your immune system with Rose Guard and Schizandra Plus to give your body the antioxidants it needs, and use an alcohol-free Hand Sanitizer to kill germs without damaging your body’s first line of defense, your skin.
Finally, get enough rest. This time of year can be very stressful, and getting enough sleep is critical. But so much activity, coupled with the need to get more done, can make getting to sleep difficult. Sleep Now from Herbalife provides melatonin and a blend of herbs to naturally promote sound sleep.
That’s it. Support your immune system during this critical time of year.
