Our immune system is an especially important part of overall health. It is especially important to be mindful of our immune system during transitional times of the year: for instance, the beginning of a new school year when exposure to germs increases.
Many lifestyle factors can also weaken our immune system, including stress, lack of sleep, exposure to toxicity, and poor nutrition. Managing each of these areas and adopting a model of consistency that actively supports the immune system is an excellent way to maintain health throughout the year.
Although the physiologic functioning of the immune system is complex, it can be broken down into two main parts–fixed and mobile immunity. Fixed immunity serves as the body’s first line of defense against potential threats by preventing harmful elements from ever entering circulation.
Take proactive measures to enhance the body’s ability to protect itself. Here are steps that can be used to support both fixed and mobile immunity and, in turn, maximize the health of your family during colder months.
(1) Build a healthy gut flora. A probiotic supplement such as the Probiotic Defense Formula is an excellent way to populate the GI tract with beneficial microflora, thus enhancing immunity.
(2) Diffuse immune system building Essential Oils like Protective Blend and Lemon daily.
(3) Clean frequently touched surfaces with Essential Oils. Protective Blend cleaning products are a highly effective way to clean surfaces while preventing exposure to toxins. You can also use Lemon, Grapefruit, Wild Orange, Cleansing Blend, or Protective Blend.
(4) Decrease stress by using Essential Oils known for calming emotions like Vetiver, Restful Blend, Grounding Blend, and the Emotional Aromatherapy set.
(5) Promote quality sleep by using Vetiver, Cedarwood, Restful Blend, Wild Orange, Bergamot, Clary Sage, and Patchouli.
