Did you know that the cold temperatures in the winter can weaken your immune system? That means that you should take extra measures and be sure your immune system is functioning at maximum levels. There are several components to maintaining a healthy immune system.
Adequate rest and the proper management of stress are key components of a healthy immune system. Remember that rest is a recuperative process and not simply the time spent in bed. Chiropractic adjustments realign spinal segments allowing proper nerve flow of the nervous system. The nervous system is what controls the immune system. Adjustments also aid in the reduction of stress.
Make sure your diet includes plenty of natural vitamin C. On of our favorite supplements is immunoplus. Check at the front desk for further information about that product. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant plays a central role in the repair and regeneration of tissues, and helps protect cells throughout the body.
Good food sources of vitamin C that are abundant and can be enjoyed all year long include (raw not cooked): broccoli, cantaloupe, kiwi, oranges, peppers, pineapple, pink grapefruit, and strawberries.
Yours in Health!
