Natural Ways to Boost Your Immune System During Winter

Winter is when our immune system needs extra support to fight off colds, flu, and other infections. Here are some natural ways to strengthen your immunity and stay healthy during winter. 

Maintain a Positive Attitude

A positive attitude can improve your immune system and help you live longer. Researchers suspect that more positive people may be better protected against the inflammatory damage of stress.

So, try to stay positive and keep a cheerful outlook on life.

Practice Gratitude

Expressing gratitude is associated with a host of mental and physical benefits. Studies have shown that feeling thankful can improve sleep, mood, and immunity. So, make it a habit to count your blessings and express gratitude for what you have.

Nurture Friendships

Good friends are good for your health. Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. They can increase your sense of belonging and purpose, boost your happiness, and reduce your stress. So, invest time in building strong and supportive friendships.

Take Vitamins

Specific vitamins, such as vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, selenium, iron, and protein, play a crucial role in the growth and function of immune cells. They are found in a variety of plant and animal foods. So, ensure you balance these vitamins well in your diet.

Regular Exercise

Regular exercise can stimulate cellular immunity. Moderate-intensity exercise can increase the circulation of immune cells in your body, helping your body better prepare for a future infection. Aim for at least 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity each week.

 

 

Balance the Endocannabinoid System with CBGA

 

While there's limited research on the benefits of CBGA on the immune system, some studies suggest that cannabinoids may have some benefit for those with autoimmune conditions. In January 2022, Oregon State University found that CBGa stopped the replication of the Covid Virus in a lab petri dish study, CBDa was in 2nd place, and other acidic cannabinoids from hemp were also found to play a vital role in the scientific research. 

Take Care of yourself this winter!

And remember, these are general tips and may only work for some. It's always best to consult with a healthcare provider before major changes to your diet or lifestyle.
