Something big has arrived and no one quite knows what is going to happen. Rather than panic, lets just prepare our bodies as best we can.
Like with the normal flu, you give your body the best chance by improving your immune system and your health in general.
Drinking lots of water, reducing stress, sleeping well, exercise and reducing sugar and toxins will all go a long way to getting your body in good shape.
Above and beyond that there are things we can add to our diet to further improve our immune system. Below are some of our favourites:
Our Australian Greens blend contains a range of Australian vegetables and super foods including Barley Grass and Broccoli.
Broccoli is super potent when not cooked and eaten raw (such as in this blend) and Barley Grass has been shown to assist the body in strengthening its own defense mechanisms.
“[Maca] improves your immune system and disease resistance”
This incredible adoptgen has been proven to boosts levels of glutathione and SOD (superoxide dismutase) which are the main disease fighters in the body.
It also boosts sexual energy, reduces depression and improves mood.
“The samples studied evidenced in vitro antimicrobial activity against yeasts, Gram-positive and negative bacteria.” (study)
Bee Pollen is not just super nutritious, it has also been demonstrated to be anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and packed with antioxidants.
Reishi boosts immunity by strengthening white blood cells.
It also contains many polysaccharides, antioxidant properties, and beta-glucans that can help with immune function.
We are very lucky to have these amazing super foods at our disposal. Take care of yourself and your family.
