The flu season is underway and you need to take proper action to prevent unnecessary cold and flu from spoiling your winter fun. When people fall sick, they usually resort to antibiotics. But, flu is caused by virus and reckless consumption of antibiotics lead to damaging the gut. As a leading naturopathy resort in India, Nirvana Naturopathy & Resort offers some tips to keep you safe during the flu season.

AVOID CONSUMING IMMUNE-SUPPRESSING FOOD

Caffeine, white sugar, high-fat food and alcohol have the effect of suppressing your immune system. If you eat a lot of high-fat foods, it can result in clogging up your lymphatic system, which limits the ability of the body to clear infection. By avoiding such food items, you can gradually increase the body’s natural defenses.

DO NOT STRESS

We understand that you do not want to stress, but a hectic life throws you into a lot of pressure and anxiety. Not stressing is a difficult thing to achieve, but not impossible. We recommend taking brisk walks, practicing yoga and meditation and so on. At our nature cure and yoga centre in Nashik, we also provide massage therapies that help to relax the body and calm the mind. A stress-free body is able to boost the immune system.

GET PLENTY OF VITAMIN D

Vitamin D helps to enhance the ability of the immune system to initiate response against the pathogens. But, natural sunlight is very limited during winter so you should make sure to spend as much time as possible outdoors, soaking in vitamin D. This will help your body to fight against respiratory tract infections and influenza.

DO NOT FORGET TO STAY HYDRATED

Winter is a time when people generally feel less hydrated. But, that does not mean that your does not need the hydration. It is crucial that you stay hydrated. You should drink a lot of water, juices and herbal teas. You can also drink water infused with lemon and ginger so that it detoxes your body.

So, these are a few of the things that you can do to keep yourself ready for the winter season. This will ensure that you can go on your holidays without the fear of falling sick. Staying strong and healthy from within is extremely important and that is what we harp on at Nirvana Naturopathy & Retreat. Stay with us for a week to feel the difference.
