A Note From Our Naturopath!

Are you worried about getting sick this winter?

Of all the systems in the body, our immune system is one of the most amazing and clever systems. Our body can be sending messages to heal, fight inflammation, attack pathogens or call for reinforcements before you even have a single symptom! Many of these processes occur and resolve without us even knowing.

Symptoms let us know our immune system is working hard! When our body has to really 'fight' is when we can get sick. Acute infections are a natural part of immune stimulation that give our body a chance to call in the troops and practice their training! If the army is healthy and fit and has the resources they need, these acute infections are resolved pretty quickly. If their army is tired, lacking in nutrients, is stressed or already has other inflammatory conditions going on - they can not attack with full gusto. 

So what does a healthy army need???

• Healthy food

• Lots of water
• A healthy digestive system
• Adequate sleep 
• Regular exercise
• Healthy balance of work/relaxation time
• Sunshine
• And laughter!

If you feel your army could use a little boosting in any of those areas - please book a naturopathic consultation today. You may need a few tweaks to your diet, some tips to reduce your stress levels or maybe some nutritional or herbal supplements to give your army all the support they need to be ready for winter.
