Immunity Boosting

The winter months usually see a rise in cold and flu cases. This is because people are inside together more often, making it easier to come into contact with an infected person. The cold, dry air can also aggravate breathing and cause sore throats. Eulo Chiropractic Center in Pitman, Glassboro, and Sewell, NJ, looks at ways you can boost your immunity during the winter.

Wash Your Hands Often

Your hands constantly come into contact with objects that sick people have touched, including door handles, shopping carts, ATMs, and public toilets. Washing your hands often or using hand sanitizer frequently helps keep your hands clean and reduces your chance of getting sick.

Take Melatonin and Vitamin D

Harvard University notes that our bodies rely on sunlight to naturally make melatonin and vitamin D. Winter brings low levels of sunlight, making our bodies unable to produce the melatonin and vitamin D to help keep our immune systems working smoothly. Although melatonin supplements are well absorbed by the body, vitamin D is best absorbed through vitamin D-rich foods like milk, oily fish, and breakfast cereals fortified with vitamin D.

Viruses Like Dry Air

There is evidence that viruses survive longer in dry air than in humid air. Help boost your immunity by getting a humidifier to use for your home. If your workplace allows it, use a portable humidifier at work.

See a Chiropractor

Chiropractors do more than just make sure your spine is aligned. A chiropractor goes over your diet to suggest tasty and nutritious improvements. Vitamin C has long been known as an immunity booster. Vitamin B6 helps the immune system conduct more efficient biochemical reactions. Your body can better use these vitamins more efficiently when it is from food than when taken in pill form. Supplements to boost your immunity naturally are also encouraged.
