3 Simple Immune Boosting Hacks for Your Fam
Grab your favorite water pitcher with filtering lid (we like this one) and throw in a sliced organic lemon or two. This simple and cheap hack will give you and your family an added kick of vitamin C with each glass! Added bonus? Sprinkle a dash of mineral salt in there (I promise you can’t taste it!) We like Redmond’s Real Salt or Taylor Dukes Wellness Mineral Salt.
Hydration helps transport nutrients and oxygen to cells, keeping the immune system functioning well. Dehydration can decrease the effectiveness of lymphatic circulation, which plays a key role in fighting infection.
Get everyone outside for some free vitamin D! Sunshine and fresh air are wonderful immune boosters. Have a newborn? Time in the sun is key to helping them build up some much needed vitamin D, even if you sit by them inside near a window and let the sun shine on them! Added bonus: eggs are a nutritional powerhouse! We hardboil a batch each week and make egg salad everyone loves.
Need to sneak in some antioxidant-packed greens for your kids? We love throwing handfuls of spinach into berry-rich smoothies with a spoonful (or two) of local honey! They can’t even taste it! Did you know it’s best to source honey from your direct region? The bees in your area know just the things needed to hepl you combat local allergies! God is wild! ;)
