It's not NORMAL to get multiple coughs and colds throughout winter.
It is COMMON, but not normal.
If you are bracing yourself for a household full of snotty noses 👃once the temperature drops, maybe it is time to assess your immunity.
Our body is fighting off germs every minute of every day. We feel the effects of a bug (virus,bacteria...) if they get past our lines of defence.
Winter generally sees us experience MORE bugs cos we are inside with other (bug carrying) humans more.
We have all experienced that sore throat on a Monday morning after a big 🍸 weekend - lack of sleep and anti-nutritous food weakened your immune system and let some bugs in.
Perpetual sickness sends a message of chronic weakened immunity. Look at your lifestyle.
Make SLEEP #1, REST (don't smash out that crossfit workout when you feel low) EAT seasonal fruit FEIJOAS! 🍊 CITRUS! (Mama nature made high in vit C!) , FRESH AIR - get lots🌳, MOVE intelligently. 🚶♀️
This applies to your small humans 👶 too. Don't just accept that they will catch every bug in daycare. Have a hard look at their sleep, nutrition, and movement. Make changes for a stronger fight against the germs!
