You And Your Immune System

This week our lovely creative director, Bradley has been suffering with a depleted immune system. Resulting in a week off training and a few days at home to restore! So we helped him to check himself, so he doesn’t wreck himself, and offered a few immune boosting tips:

• Exercise regularly (which he does, when he is not sick!)
• Get adequate sleep (this varies person to person but a rough guideline is 7-8 hours per night)
• Drink alcohol in moderation
• Ensure to have a colourful nutrient intake rich in vegetables and wholegrain (which our MY Food healthy meal plans are!)
• Look after your mental well-being (can be anything to enjoy periods of peace of mind eg meditation, taking a walk, enjoying some quiet time)
• Incorporate immune boosting foods into your diet: Oats, barley, garlic, shellfish, chicken soup, herbal tea, sweet potatoes, blueberries, leafy greens and mushrooms
• Add some Echinacea to your life! You can get this in different forms from health food shops
• Grab yourself some Astragalus root, which is amazing as. . .an anti- inflammatory, an immune system booster, a wound healer and a treatment for cold and flu! Also available in health food stores

If any of you have any additional tips or immune boosting remedies, please ensure to let us know!

Stay happy, be healthy 🙂
