How To Keep The Winter Bugs Away From Your System

If you look around a few hospitals, pharmacies, health care centers, department stores, or at your work place, most likely there is a sign now that is read " Flu shot is available now". I never had any complaints against flu shots, nor over the counter drugs. I just don't advocate someone to rely on them fully, rather you should do your due diligence to help boost the immune system naturally.

The bacteria in our guts and the ones that suppose to fight malicious antibodies remedies sometime get killed after ingesting over-the counter drug medication or flu medication. Consequently, this malfunction of the immune system leave us more vulnerable to pile on more cold viruses and germs. Again, I am not an anti-medication individual. I Just simply don't believe they are the best alternative when it comes to treating a winter flu or cold. So what should I do? Below is a few tips you can follow:

1- Boost your immune system

You can do that by engaging more in physical activities, especially movement that will challenge your cardiovascular system. For example, jumping, jogging, an aerobic class. Anything that will get your heart rate up and keep it at a medium range through out the rest of such movement you should try to engage in.

When your cells degenerate (they break down, die), when intracellular (water inside your cells) an extracellular (outside of your cells) water intake is low, your body and immune system is more susceptible to cope with more bacteria and germs, because 1) you're not excreting enough toxins out your systems, and 2) you're most likely dehydrated often. That indeed will help the cold set in.

To revitalize your immune system and make it run as an unbreakable and indisputable defensive lineman, you can get your hands on Tahitian Noni Juice HERE or go to your whole food or a health food store and chose from a variety of powerful natural or organic antioxidant juices such as blue berries, citrus fruit, pomegranate, and much more.

2. Stay active

There is no possible way for you to spend the entire winter season not exercising. Whether it's at your home or your local fitness facility, just get involve. The less you do, the more power to Mr. Virus and Misses Germ. Why? well, those suckers just love when they can attack your immune system, your bloodstream, your mucus, anywhere in your body for that matter at any given time. And I guarantee you, If you give them the upper hand, they will tackle you down for days, months, or even years. Do yourself a huge favor, get off your couch, create some time for your own health and get active in some form of physical activity.

3. Relax your mind and be positive

I am sure you heard this phrase before " you become what your thoughts are" If this is the case why do you always think you're sick or will get sick, or tired all the time. What about stress? Your central nervous system is a huge indicator in controlling your thought processes whether it's consciously or subconsciously. Try to think more positive and be optimistic. By the way, did you know that your thought process can help you not to ever get sick or catch the flu or the cold, hence, helping your immune system in combat. Give it a go! try to relax your mind more (listen to jazz, classical music, spiritual music, mind searching sounds track), and stay positive.

4. Use Good Care and Prevention

Touching lots of objects that someone else has touched with mucus in their hands, sweat, dirty hands, will most likely get you sick. Any minor bruises or cuts that are ignored might get you an infection, and can lead to fever or getting a flu. There are so many variables and the sad thing is, it is virtually impossible to control when someone will sneeze in your face, or when you'll touch something that has been contaminated with million of germs. What you can do is be alert, stay alert, and carry your small mini good care and prevention bag with you. In this very small bag you carry most of the time during the winter season, the items that should be included: Q-tips, adhesives, band-aids, alcohol and no I'm not referring to beer, hydrogen peroxide, hand sanitizer, some sort of essential oil, lubricant, a pair of gloves, just to name a few.

5. Rest and Eat Well

Unfortunately the body is not a machine. Indeed, it is very complex my friend, but not a machine. That been said, if you think you are superman and superwoman and refuse to get decent amount of sleep (about 7-9 will do) it will dramatically hinder your daily performance level physically and mentally. There are certain phenomenon that scientists still can't explain, and heck! I sure don't know all the physiological and neurological response of how the body function when it comes to sleep. What I can tell you though is this, there was never a time in my life that I had 7 to 9 hours of sleep I didn't feel like I can conquer the world, plus my mind is always clear, and physically I'm ready for the task at hand. I am sure you feel the same way, and if you disagree with me, it's time for you to start getting more sleep and find out for yourself.

For eating, I will not touch on that too much here. You can visit www.bodybuzzfitness.com go to our Healthy Library and view our nutrition article section or get more of this information at www.burnitforever.com. However, I will let you know a secret that you may have heard before " You are what you eat". If you eat crappy food all the time guess what, your body will most likely feel crappy, especially if you don't exercise at all. Yes, I am referring to unhealthy foods, fast foods all the time. You tell me, when was the last time you ate decent food, or a healthy meal, and you were sick of felt sick. If you got sick from it, it wasn't healthy at all, it was "disguise healthy food".

I strongly hope you use those powerful tips to keep the winter bugs away from your system.
