Beyond Wellness Radio: Immunity Boost Tips to Help You Stay Healthy Over the Holidays

Your immune system likely needs a holiday boost, and you are the only one who can do it. (Things like stress, foods high in saturated fat, alcohol, and skipping exercise can all weaken this key part of the body that helps fight off infection and keep you healthy.) Let's hear from Dr. J and Dr. Evan to help you put yourself at the top of your holiday checklist and give yourself this gift of health.

Get a Good Night’s Sleep Every Night. Pulling an all-nighter won’t help. You need seven to nine hours of sleep. Period. A growing body of research shows that not getting enough sleep has an immediate (and long-term) effect on how well the cells in your immune system actually function. That means not getting enough sleep could make you more likely to get sick.

Make Healthy, Nutritious Food and Drink Choices. Making healthy, nutritious food choices can give your immune system a big boost. And conversely, making unhealthy food choices can hamper immune function.

Vitamin D. It has been found to be part of the complex process of immunity cells being ‘primed’ to fight infection, and those with a deficiency are more susceptible to illness, so making sure you get your dose of the vitamin can be key for your internal defenses. Also, vitamin C natural herbs are also highly recommended to prepare your body for the holidays (and anytime).
