🌿 How to Prevent the Flu Naturally 🌿

Flu season is here, but you can STAY AHEAD OF ILLNESS with natural strategies to strengthen your immune system! Instead of waiting until you feel under the weather, start supporting your body today with these holistic tips:

1. Eat an Immune-Boosting Diet
🍊 Vitamin C-rich foods: Citrus fruits, bell peppers, and leafy greens
🥜 Zinc-packed foods: Pumpkin seeds, lentils, and grass-fed meats
🥛 Probiotics: Fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and kimchi
🌿 Antiviral herbs: Garlic, ginger, and oregano

2. Prioritize Restful Sleep
😴 Lack of sleep weakens your immune defenses. Aim for 7-9 hours per night and try herbal teas, magnesium, or meditation for relaxation.

3. Manage Stress
Chronic stress lowers immunity. Support your body with:
🧘‍♀️ Daily mindfulness or yoga
🌱 Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha
🎧 Deep breathing or guided meditation

4. Stay Hydrated
💧Water keeps mucous membranes moist, making it harder for viruses to take hold. Sip herbal teas like elderberry and echinacea for an extra immune boost!
