what you can do
Here are some ways you can help your body a little more this winter and some products that can assist in
boosting your immunity and helping kill some nasties that may be going around at school, daycare or work!
Some of this may be common sense and it's not all about oils. If you are not looking after yourself in many
different ways, your body will be tired and less effective in fighting off threats.
you are what you eat
So firstly - lots of fresh fruits and veggies, obviously organic is better but as long as you
wash your fruits and veggies really well they will still be of assistance. You will notice you
may start eating more comfort foods or junk foods in winter, its time to cut some of that
out.
exercise
Still get some exercise. We often go into hibernation mode when its cold, and rightly so -
its can be freezing! But even if you drag your butt out of bed for at least 30 mins of
exercise daily, your body will thank you for it.
vitamin d
Still get some sun (when it’s out). Low immunity has been linked to less vitamin D,
mostly because we live indoors more in the cooler weather. If you find you need to
supplement some vitamin D there is 200% of your RDI in doTERRA's Microplex®, which
is part of the Lifelong Vitality Pack. There is more information about the LifeLong
Vitality® Pack throughout this guide.
sleep
If you're not sleeping well, your body can not function properly. Concentrate on a
healthy natural diet to avoid sleep problems which can often be caused by caffeine,
sugar and highly processed foods.
If you are having trouble with falling asleep or staying asleep you can use a number of
different oils and natural products to assist. See the sleep and rest section of the e-book
for further suggestions.
