Autumn is crisp air, red and golden leaves, and sore throats and sniffly noses. The truth is that cold weather affects your immune system. But it doesn’t have to be. You can avoid illnesses like sinusitis, the flu, the common cold, and many others by boosting your immune system this cold season with a few simple steps.
Hygiene
Good hygiene habits can help protect you and the people you care about this fall season. Washing your hands helps prevents the spread of germs that can be picked up from handles and other surfaces. It works both ways for preventing illness to spread to you and also to help prevent you from spreading your illness to others. When you cough or sneeze, use a tissue or cough into your elbow to prevent the spread of germs. If you’re not feeling well, practice self-care; stay home, rest up, and get better.
Get Your Vitamins and Minerals
Approximately one billion people around the globe are deficient in Vitamin C, Vitamin D and omega 3. Being deficient in areas that have a huge impact on health and well-being puts you in danger of falling ill. Taking a clean, quality multivitamin made from real, whole foods helps ensure your body is getting everything it requires. Sunwarrior packs nutrition from Real Aloe Vera and our proprietary vitamin blend into Vitamin Mineral Rush to provide your body with energy and health.

Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated promotes cardiovascular health, energy, and brain function. It also cleanses your body of toxins and treats ailments. Drink more when you’re under the weather. If you aren’t feeling well, flushing toxins by keeping hydrated is a great way to step onto the road to recovery. Dehydration has been linked to cognitive decline and fatigue. You can become as dehydrated in cold weather as you can in hot weather, making it vital to keep up on your hydration.
Get Quality Sleep
According to the CDC, over a third of all Americans don’t get enough sleep. This is a concern because sleep is a chance for your body to recharge and reset. When your body doesn’t get that chance, you are less likely to perform your tasks well and more likely to run the risk of illness. If you are struggling with sleep, you might want to try magnesium, which enhances sleep and strengthens bones and muscles.
Maintain Good Nutrition Habits
Eating whole plant-based foods goes a long way toward boosting your immune system. This includes your proteins. Not all proteins are created equal. You want to increase your protein intake with clean, quality protein. Your body uses protein to do all that cell, bone, and muscle repair. But getting a low quality, poorly-sourced protein is kind of like hiring a shady, back-alley salesman to do repairs on a Rolls Royce. You want to keep your protein sources clean and quality so that you feel and perform at your best
