As the cold approaches us and we spend more time indoors, more time in enclosed spaces and we become more susceptible to germs from the environment. Here are some tips to avoid getting sick.
First and foremost, get your spine checked! Subluxation (misalignments in the vertebrae of the spine causing dysfunction in the body and nervous system) will not only cause pain, stiffness, difficulties with range of motion, muscle tension and discomfort but it will also cause interference in the functioning of the nervous system.
Along with dysfunction in the nervous system’s functioning, subluxation will cause stress on the immune system and organs, causing your body to have to work harder to function.
Secondly, make sure you are staying hydrated! Drinking seltzer, soda, coffee, etc. does not count! Drinking real water, preferably alkaline water is vital. Alkaline water will be absorbed by your body better than regular water will. Drinking half your body weight in ounces of water a day is a good rule of thumb.
Thirdly, making sure you are getting enough quality sleep. 6-8 hours of good sleep will be very helpful in ensuring your body has all of the rest it needs to function optimally the next day. Drinking too much coffee the day before or drinking alcohol the day or night before will hinder your sleep quality and your body’s ability to protect itself from pathogens!
In summary, 3 things you can do to protect yourself from getting sick this cold and flu season are:
1) Getting your spine checked! 🩻⚕️
2) Staying hydrated 💧🌊
3) Getting adequate sleep 😴🛌💤
