As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
And beyond maintaining your basic healthy-hygiene practices, best way to protect yourself from a cold, flu or virus is with a healthy, robust immune system! With these 4 Ways to Boost your Immune System you can help to ensure you stay healthy all year round!
When your immune system is healthy, you have a better chance at avoiding getting sick altogether thus minimizing your need to rely on a cure later.
This month my friends at iHerb generously shared with me an amazing curated box of their most popular immune boosting products for me to try & share with you!
HERE ARE 4 EASY WAYS TO BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM FROM IHERB:
1. PROBIOTICS
As you already know I’m passionate about including probiotic bacteria into your diet for keeping your immune system strong. However, I also recognize that most of you haven’t committed to eating them often enough. That’s why taking a daily probiotic supplement is essential.
iHerb has over 1,000 different probiotic supplements for you to choose from. Lake Avenue Nutrition Probiotic Minis is one of their most popular with 1 Billion CFU ,small, easy-to-swallow probiotics that help support digestive and immune health.
2. DAILY MULTI-VITAMIN & MINERAL SUPPLEMENT
Just like with probiotics, while it’s possible to get all the nutrition you need from food alone, it’s highly unlikely that you are. When you are deficient in essential vitamins your immune system may not be its strongest.
That’s why I recommend that we all take a daily multi-vitamin & mineral supplement as a way to ensure that you don’t have any deficiencies that may make your body less healthy.
iHerb offers multivitamins targeted for every member the family! For children, one of iHerb’s most popular multivitamins is Vitables Liquid Multi-Vitamin and Mineral for Children. It offers the nutritional value you want, and a yummy orange taste your kids will love.
3. EAT HEALTHY
I don’t mean to sound cliché, but health starts in the kitchen. Specifically, a healthy immune system. With all of us spending more time at home, it’s time to ditch the junk and switch to healthier foods; I suggest by deep cleaning your pantry.
iHerb is more than just supplements! They offer thousands of better for you grocery items that are perfect for re-stocking your freshly cleaned pantry. One of iHerb’s most popular pantry items are the California Gold Nutrition Snack Bars.
They are wholesome and satisfying snack bars in three delicious flavors: Caramel & Almond, Double Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Maple, Nuts & Sea Salt.
I have also featured healthy pantry items from iHerb in my Keto Dairy Free Tuna Noodle Casserole and my Keto 1 Minute Egg Drop Soup recipes. They are both nutritious and delicious!
4. GET EDUCATED
Knowledge is power! Choosing to spend some of my free-time researching health topics is what led me to start this site. Becoming educated on healthy living has helped to boost my immune system and I’ve avoided getting sick for several years; not even a sniffle!
