Unfortunately it is that time of the year and the seasons are definitely changing. Last Saturday we where running around in shorts and T shirts and this Saturday we will be trick or treating in the low 40s and rain. This time of year it is so important to work on our health and most importantly our immune system. How do we work on our health? Well working out at the gym is not enough, proper eating habits, vitamin's and minerals and proper sleep are the keys. Eating clean and healthy, not skipping meals is so important. This time of year loading up on good green leafy vegetables and a piece of fruit or two a day will go a long way in helping your body fight off all the different flu's and virus's going around these days. Including a proper dose of a daily group of vitamins will also help greatly. With the loss of extended day light and our weather patterns shifting into more of a cloudy and cold season, we will be losing the ability to get vitamin D into are system which believe it or not is best absorbed by being outside in the sun. This is one of the reasons why we have so much more energy in the summer vs the winter. Last, but just as important is proper rest and sleep. The body heals it's self and fights off unwanted virus's best when it is at rest at night. So getting a good nights sleep each night will also go a long way in helping you prevent getting that cold or flu your neighbor or co-worker may be struggling with. There is not much worse then being sick and feeling like garbage. We have all been there and sometimes no matter what you do the seasonal virus's come in bite you, but you can help yourself out a great deal by following these simple pieces of information.
