5 Tips to Boost Your Immunity during the Holidays
Christmas is perhaps one of the most celebrated holidays. It may be festive, fancy, and colorful but it can also be stressful, especially if you’re an adult. Haha I went to the mall today and boy, I was dead tired after. There were a lot of people! I prefer to do my holiday shopping early. For an OC like me, it can be pretty stressful when and if I have to cram.
When you’re stressed, your immunity can go down and you can be at a high risk for infection. We don’t want to be sick during the holiday, do we? So here are five tips to boost your immunity!
This is very important. This is probably the most basic thing when it comes to boosting our immunity. We need the right amount of nutrients to sustain our daily activities. It’s okay to eat at buffets every once in awhile but always remember to eat healthy food in between. More fruits, vegetables, and white meat, less red meat. Eating too much and too little is not okay. I don’t really approve of those so-called “diets” (trivia: diet is what you eat on a normal basis regardless whether it’s too much or too little. To say you’re “dieting”, well, you’re actually doing that every day haha). Some diets omit or lessen x100000 carbohydrates, protein, or fat. If you don’t get your average daily requirement in one of those three, that’s not really healthy.
Sleeping lets our body do its work of repairing damaged tissues and making us grow, at least for children. (Our body’s growth hormone is more active when we are sleeping. That’s why kids should sleep more :D). We were told in the past that one must get at least 8 hours of sleep per day. However, new studies show that a 6-hour sleep is enough. We need all the energy we can get! We don’t want to be like the walkers roaming around, do we?
Water is life. It can’t be helped that we lose water through urine and sweat, especially in this November-December heat. If we lose too much water, we can get dehydrated. Severe dehydration can lead to shock and then death. :( So try to bring a bottle of water everywhere. Plus points if you use your own bottle! :)
I’m a firm believer of this. Exercising not only keeps our body healthy but also our minds. The benefits of exercise have been told over and over again. It may decrease the risk for coronary artery diseases! It also increases our tolerance to work (and I don’t really mean your job).
Fern-C can help you have a stress-free Christmas! Vitamin C is needed for normal growth and development. It helps prevent diseases such as scurvy. It is also a potent anti-oxidant. This means that it scavenges the free radicals in our body. Okay, nerdy moment right here but I’m not going to dwell on the specifics. You can get these free radicals from eating too much at buffets. :( So, drinking Fern-C can help boost our immune system by fighting these free radicals. But Fern-C isn’t your average ascorbic acid. It’s sodium ascorbate. What does this mean? This means that persons who are hyperacidic and have problems with ascorbic acid can drink this because it is not acidic.
Coming from a food science and medical background, I think I know what I’m talking about. Haha Anyway, these are just tips on how to boost your immunity. I’m sure there are a lot more. It’s just that these worked for me. I hope they work for you, too. :)

Have a happy Christmas! :)
