Strengthen and Protect your Immune System this Holiday Season

Greetings! Dr. Heidi It's that time of year again when we are around more people, shopping and celebrating the Holiday Season.  We are eating more sweets, drinking more alcohol, getting less sleep and experiencing more stress.  All of these activities lower our immune response.  This lowered immune response, coupled with being exposed to more cold and flu bugs creates the 'perfect storm' for us to get sick.  This year, I encourage each of you to be smart and take advantage of our many tips on how you can naturally boost your immune defense with nutrition & herbs, adjustments & exercise. Make an educated decision regarding the Flu Shot - do the risks outweigh the benefits for you and your family?  Consciously choose to eat 1/2 a cookie instead of 3, drink 1/2 glass of wine in lei of a full one, make sure you nap the day after you've stayed out late, and learn to say "No" to things that will add stress, and "Yes" to things that bring joy and not overwhelm.   Remember that if you strengthen and protect your immune system, you will not get sick no matter how many bugs you are exposed to.  Make it your goal to have the healthiest & happiest holiday season ever.  The choice is yours.     Until our next adjustment....  Yours in health,   Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team
