All About Immune Health

The immune system is the body’s natural defense network. It is comprised of many organs, cells, and proteins that work together to protect against outside viruses, bacteria, and other unwanted invaders. When functioning correctly, the immune system identifies which cells are yours and which are foreign. It then organizes to kill any invaders that could cause the body harm. Your immune system does this complex work naturally, but, like anything, it requires a healthy environment in order to thrive. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help bolster your immune system.

Immunity Booster Smoothie

Do you have an immunity booster secret, Nicole? I've been getting a lot of questions about immunity for the last few weeks. It's definitely a hot topic. Reducing your exposure to viruses and bacteria by washing your hands, covering up when you cough, and avoiding contact with your eyes, nose, and mouth is important. There is also a certain level of exposure that you cannot prevent. When this exposure occurs it is important for the immune system to be up to the challenge. We can actively strengthen our immunity and natural defenses with immunity boosters. I curated a delicious Immunity Boosting Meal Plan with nutrient-dense and immune-boosting ingredients. The Immunity Booster Smoothie is by far one of my recipes smoothies in the meal plan! These delicious, anti-oxidant packed recipe will help you stay healthy!

Roasted Garlic

With the holidays over, we may find ourselves in need of a little TLC. I know I may have rubbed shoulders with a few people fighting a cold.... and being the holidays... extra stress, late nights and indulging a little more than usual (yes I ate truffles), my immune system was compromised and welcomed some uninvited guests. At the first sign of a cold, I infuse my body with liquids, preferably warm nourishing teas and bone broths and eat a lot of roasted and raw garlic (sorry if I smell extra nice). Check out the Roasted Garlic recipe on my site!! Supplementation is important when battling infection, including probiotics & Vit C along with essential oils like clove. Most importantly rest, early bedtime and reduced sugar and low-carb diet (sugar will suppress your immune system) is key to reducing the duration and severity of illness.
