This pandemic has proven just how vital your immune system is to keep strong and healthy all year long.
We wanted to offer you some tips on what you can do to build it if you don’t already have a strong immune system.
Boost Your Immunity
Do Not Smoke. Smoking breaks down your immune system and makes you less healthy overall.
Limit or quit drinking. Alcohol is dehydrating and toxic to the body. Your liver has to work hard to process it and takes energy away from other repairs.
Let Go of the Stress – Stress is the number one thing that breaks down immunity. Eliminate and minimize as much as you can.
Take Care of Yourself. Wash your hands frequently, keep them away from your face, eyes, mouth, ears, and nose
Work Out. Movement, stretching, weight barring exercise, and cardiovascular exercise are needed to keep every system in the body in working order.
Sleep. Sleeping 7-9 hours a night is when your body repairs itself. No sleep = no repair. Eventually, you will overtax your system and it can break down.
Maintain a healthy weight. Carrying around excess weight makes every organ in the body work harder than it should have to.
Take care in the preparation of meat. This goes for seafood as well. Undercooked meats and seafood can lead to food poisoning and nothing smacks the body down like a round of food poisoning. Wash down counters and surfaces that raw items have touched.
Eat Healthy – We are what we eat. Fresh fruits, vegetables, healthy proteins, healthy fats, limiting processed foods and sugars, all contribute to health and wellness.
Visit your chiropractor regularly – getting adjusted to eliminate subluxations gives a major boost to your nervous system which controls every part of your body. Keep it working well and your health will follow!

Because of the media and social conditioning, many of us have come to consider yearly colds and flu’s just par for the course and even expected. The truth is that there is nothing normal about being sick all of the time. Health is our natural state.
Chiropractic care is a safe, alternative treatment when applied appropriately. Chiropractic treatments help in dealing with the symptoms of many conditions. Are you going to wait for your symptoms to be felt, or are you going to prevent it as soon as possible?
