Tis The Season: To Staying Healthy! As we continue to go through the winter months, maintaining a healthy immune system is a big key to our overall health during the cold season. Check out 4 quick strategies you can follow to ensure that your health doesn’t suffer! • Having beneficial bacteria in your gut may be one way to decrease the risk of getting sick. This “healthy bacteria” is also called probiotics, and can be found in a variety of foods such as yogurt, milk, tempeh, and soy products. • A variety of vitamins will also be beneficial to reducing the health risk and increasing your immune function. Some important vitamins include A, C, D, E and K, as well as many others. Many fruits and vegetables are good sources of these. • Hygiene is another factor that doesn’t receive enough credit when considering someones health. The simple use of hand-sanitizer is reported to possibly reduce the risk of sickness up to 35%. • REST! Ensure you are taking time off for yourself. An adequate amount of sleep is typically between 6-9 hours. Sleep deprivation can eventually result in injury or fatigue, and negatively effect your daily performance!
