As cold and flu season is upon us, we must take extra measures
to stay healthy. Prevention is key!
As therapists who treat many clients daily, boosting our
immune system year-round is so important. Here are a few of the healthy habits
we have put in place at the centre. We urge you to try a few!
1. BURNING PEPPERMINT, EUCALYPTUS AND CITRUS OILS – BLANCA
LOVES HER GRAPEFRUIT!
One of the first things you will notice when arriving to the
centre is the pleasant aroma of essential oils. Burning these oils does not
just create a lovely smell. They are antiseptics and bactericides that kill
airborne bacteria. Just add a few drops
to an oil burner in your home or office for a pleasing aroma that lifts your
spirits and keeps you healthy too!
2. WHOLE LEMON SQUEEZED INTO A GLASS OF WATER DAILY &
PUSH THOSE FLUIDS!!!
Eric likes to switch this out with a whole orange or
grapefruit. Citrus fruit is energising and breaks up the monotony of plain
water. We also make sure to have a few glasses of water between each appointment.
This adds up at the end of the day!
3. ORGANIC UNPASTEURISED APPLE CIDER VINEGAR –
Rich in a variety of nutrients, including malic acid, which
is a strong antiviral. Add a splash of this tonic to a glass of water at least
twice daily to gain its many benefits, including a boost in energy levels and
immune function. If you have hung around the centre within the past few years,
Blanca would have probably offered you a glass or two!
4. REGULAR MASSAGE –
All modalities, especially lymphatic drainage, increase
lymphatic flow. Increased circulation allows your immune system to function at
optimal level by delivering immune cells faster and flushing stagnated toxins.
5. REGULAR EXERCISE-
Lymphatic flow is dependent on gravity and muscle
contraction. Regular exercise increases your circulation.
MAY THIS COLD AND FLU SEASON BE YOUR HEALTHIEST YET!
