Baby It's Cold Outside

And you know what that means....avoiding sickness at all costs.
But you're around your family for the holidays, trying to avoid germs at the gym but working out during the holidays is a must with all the stuffing, Starbucks high calorie but OH so good drinks we wait all year for (even though they will still make you them year round-it's just not the same!) and your Auntie's famous apple crisp. 
Well here are some ways to help boost that immune system:
  • A glass of cranberry juice a day. It is packed with vitamin C, which is vital to a healthy immune system. Also,drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections. (Make sure you're not going for the cranberry cocktail loaded with sugar). 
  • Drink lots and lots of pure water. 
  • Keep your insides happy and healthy:
    • Eat dark-green, red, and yellow vegetables and fruits. They're packed with numerous antioxidants, plus vitamins A, C, E, and beta-carotene.
  • Regualr exercise:
    • You boost your immunity everytime you get your heart pumping 
  • Rest up! Get sleep! We need at least 8 hours of sleep each night. 
  • Reduce your stress level-I know finals are almost here! Relax, drink some green tea with lemon (good in thinning mucus if you have a clod), and think that break is just around the corner!

Lesson: Stay active and healthy, making sure you wash those hands and strengthen your immune system!

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31
