It may sound a bit ominous to say \u201cwinter is coming\u201d – taken from the popular series Game of Thrones – yet the cooler, darker days of winter do bring special consideration when it comes to our health and well-being.\u00a0 From food to physical activity, the fall and winter seasons require a change of pace from the relative freedom of sunny summer days. Your incredible immune system will be challenged in a very different way and we want to help you be ready and resilient!<\/p>\n
Most of us have grown up accepting the ubiquitous nature of the common cold.\u00a0 Accompanied by the runny, red nose, scratchy throat and stuffy sinuses, the cold virus manifests differently depending on its type and your innate resistance to it.\u00a0 So, what is a cold virus anyway?\u00a0 It\u2019s quite simply a particular type of virus that thrives in cooler temperatures.\u00a0 Heat degrades this class of virus handily – hence, the effectiveness of a good, strong fever to naturally combat this invader.\u00a0 With that said it is important to have a well-functioning immune system that can launch a fever when needed and regulate it so that it doesn\u2019t get out of control.<\/p>\n
What organizes an efficient response by the immune system?\u00a0 It\u2019s a pretty complex system but the controllable influences include nutrition, movement and sleep. Not too surprising.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
