Watch: How to Boost Your Immune System Naturally
Simple Steps to Boost Your Immune System Before the Holidays
If you're wondering how to strengthen your immune system quickly and naturally, Dr. Loreena Ryder from Naturopathic Physicians Group offers some key strategies you can start implementing right away:
Vitamin C: This powerful antioxidant is known for its immune-boosting properties. Take a daily vitamin C supplement or, for a stronger dose, consider an IV vitamin C drip. This helps to get your immune system into high gear just in time for the holidays.
Vitamin D: Spend time outdoors to soak up natural sunlight, which is a great source of Vitamin D. This essential vitamin supports your immune system and overall health, making it crucial during flu season.
Elderberry Syrup: Known for its ability to fight off the flu, elderberry syrup is a great addition to your daily routine. It's easy to find at most stores and is a powerful, natural flu-fighter.
Breathing Exercises: Stress can weaken your immune system, so taking a few moments each day for deep, calming breaths can make a big difference. Dr. Ryder recommends practicing deep breathing throughout the day to reduce stress and keep your body functioning at its best.
Hydration: Staying hydrated is key for immune function and overall wellness. Dr. Ryder suggests drinking half your body weight in ounces of water each day to maintain proper hydration. This simple habit can help your body perform at its best as you prepare for holiday gatherings.
Why Hydration is So Important
Hydration is the foundation of your body’s cellular function, which is why drinking enough water is crucial for staying healthy. If you’re wondering how much water you should drink, Dr. Ryder offers a simple formula:
Take your ideal weight, divide it by two, and that’s the number of ounces of water you should aim to drink each day.
This ensures your body is properly hydrated and functioning optimally as you head into the holiday season.
How IV Vitamin Therapy Can Help Boost Immunity
For those looking for a quick, effective way to boost immunity, consider IV Vitamin Therapy. At Naturopathic Physicians Group, we offer IV Vitamin C drips, which deliver a concentrated dose of vitamin C directly into your bloodstream, helping your body fight off illness more efficiently.
By supporting your immune system with the nutrients it needs, you can feel confident heading into the holiday season, knowing your body is protected.
