Have you noticed everyone around getting sick this month? I’ve been surrounded by many who are coming down with various illnesses over the past month. While it may not always be avoidable there are some actions we can take to stay well.
- Get plenty of rest. This is a busy time of year and we have the tendency to overextend ourselves. Making sleep a priority can help keep our immune system healthy.
- Keep up your exercise routine. Consistency with our movement is not only beneficial for our bodies but also for our mental health as well. Continue to make your goals a priority.
- Stay hydrated. There’s plenty of holiday parties to attend so there may be a tendency to drink a little more alcohol than normal. Ensure you are drinking plenty of water and/or electrolytes to keep your body hydrated. Especially if you exercise outside during this time of the year as well. It’s just as important to hydrate during your cold runs as it is during the summer runs!
- Boost your immune system by eating plenty of produce. Enjoy those in season fruits and vegetables such as squash, pears, and apples. Increase your veggie intake easily with soups and stews! We have the tendency to crave comfort foods so let’s use those to our advantage.
- Consistently take the appropriate supplements to boost your immune system. One of my favorites is a stack of supplements designed to work together specifically for immunity. Check it out here.

I like to say “control the controllables.” The above are all actions we can control to stay healthy this winter season!
