With the holiday season fast approaching us, it's always good to have a couple tricks up our sleeves to prevent as much sickness as possible. There are quite a few natural things that you can do to prevent sickness during this hectic time of year. Everything from what you eat to sleeping to not stressing to essential oils. So let's get started!
There are several things that you can include (or leave out) in your everyday eating that will help reduce your chances of getting sick. First thing you can do is to cut out as much sugar from your daily diet as possible. During this time of year sugar seems to be everywhere. There is no problem in eating sugary treats at the parties and at the holidays, just cut as much out as you can. Also eating more coconut oil and cinnamon whenever possible is very beneficial. They both boost your immune system like nothing else. Soups and stews are chock full of nutrients that will also boost your immune system.
Sleep and stress kinda go hand in hand. If your not sleeping well you tend to stress more and the more you stress the less you sleep. Stress and lack of sleep can seriously reduce your immune systems ability to fight bad bacteria. I know it's hard not to not stress during this time of year, but it's always good to take time to smell the daisies. ;)
There are also plenty of essential oils to use as air fresheners and to help your system fight germs. Thieves, Frankincense, Lavender, Peppermint and Stress Away are all excellent oils to use during this time of the year.
I hope you all have an excellent holiday season and a very healthy one!
Soli Deo Gloria!!
