5 Tips from Your Acupuncturist for Staying Healthy This Cold & Flu Season
1️⃣ Prioritize Restful Sleep 💤
A good night’s sleep keeps your immune system strong and ready to fight off seasonal bugs. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night.
2️⃣ Nourish Your Body 🍲
Warm, nourishing foods like soups and stews support digestion and boost immunity. Add immune-boosting ingredients like garlic, ginger, and green leafy veggies to your meals.
3️⃣ Stay Hydrated 💧
Drink plenty of water or herbal teas to keep your body hydrated and help flush out toxins. Add a slice of lemon or a splash of honey for an extra boost.
4️⃣ Reduce Stress 🧘♀️
Chronic stress weakens your immune system. Take time for self-care with meditation, gentle exercise, or a relaxing acupuncture session to keep stress levels in check.
5️⃣ Schedule Regular Acupuncture Treatments 🪡
Acupuncture can help support your immune system, improve circulation, and keep your body in balance, making you less vulnerable to seasonal illnesses.
