NEW YORK (PRWEB) January 02, 2020
While it’s known as the most wonderful time of year, the holidays and winter season can be overwhelming and have most of us feeling as if there are not enough hours in the day. High stress levels, busy travel schedules, overindulging on sugary treats, and lack of sleep can all impact our immune health. Recently, Erin Stokes, Naturopathic Doctor and Medical Director at MegaFood®, teamed with YourUpdateTV to discuss proactive steps to feeling your best this winter season.

Here are several tips to ensure you’re giving your immune system a fighting chance this season:
1. Getting enough restorative sleep is vital but often overlooked. Aim for at least 7-8 hours every night to support both immune health and whole-body health.*
2. In addition to being incredibly important for our physical health, exercise plays a big role in our mental health as it releases feel-good hormones that help to mitigate stress.* Weather permitting, try to get outside on nicer days – even a short walk during lunch counts!
3. Eating a wide variety (and colors) of fruits and vegetables feeds our bodies with antioxidants. Think foods like kale, blueberries, apples, tomatoes and citrus fruits. Also try incorporating more probiotic-rich foods like miso and sauerkraut or a probiotic supplement that can help your immune and digestive system,* like MegaFood Immune Defense* Shelf Stable Probiotic.
4. Try immune-supporting supplements when you feel the need. Certain vitamins and minerals can help nourish your body and support your immune health*
To keep you thriving through the long winter season, MegaFood Immune Defense* includes a team of immune-supporting ingredients* – elderberry, vitamin C, zinc and bitter herbs echinacea and andrographis.
Our sun exposure decreases this time of year which can affect your levels of vitamin D3 – the sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D3 is crucial for supporting immune health and nearly 90 million Americans are either deficient or have insufficient levels. MegaFood D3 Wellness Mixed Fruit Gummies, are a convenient and delicious way to maintain sufficient vitamin D3 levels and support your immune system*, are non-GMO and only 1 gram of sugar per serving.
