It's cold and flu season again, but does it have to be?

 

This time of year, I get questions from many of you about how to boost your immune system. The fall/winter season is commonly known as “Cold and Flu Season,” but if you rarely or never get a cold or flu, it is simply just fall or winter. Illness in the fall or winter is COMMON but it is in no way NORMAL. The definition of normal is the absence of symptoms or disease, so having a cold or the flu cannot be normal. Unfortunately, we often confuse the words “common” with “normal” which makes us think that we WILL get cold or flu symptoms at some point during this season. Once you realize that it is possible to go many years without a cold or flu, you can make strides toward keeping your immune system healthy year round. The stronger your immune system is, the better your overall health will be. 

I’ve put together a list of products and supplements you can implement into your daily life to drastically reduce your chances of getting a cold or flu any time of year. Make sure to read all the way to the end and check out our fantastic Cleansing Promotion for any of you who would like to start the new year off cleansed, refreshed, and ready to take on the New Year!

Fermentation Farm Products → Healthy Gut = Healthy Life

Fermented products should be ingested daily to improve how the digestive system is functioning. If you are suffering from an imbalance in your gut biome, then incorporating probiotic-rich, fermented foods could really help your digestive system work better and by default, boost your immune system. A few tablespoons per day of foods like fermented vegetables, fermented coconut yogurt, natto, or 6-12 oz of drinks like kombucha, or any of our fermented ginger beverages, will get you started on the right track.

In addition, bone broth and collagen are perfect foods for gut healing. Once again, you can improve your overall health and immune system strength by improving your gut health.
