It’s winter and if you’re like me, everywhere you go people are coughing or sneezing or have runny noses.  You get the picture.  Sick people everywhere.  Add to all that the H1N1 scare and it’s almost enough to make you not want to leave the house.  Building a strong immune system is important so that you can be healthy and stay healthy while everyone else around you seems sick.

Ayurveda is a science of preventing things before they happen.  Meaning, you want to build your immune system before you get sick….not treat it once you’re already sick.  Here are some tips for building and maintaining a healthy immune system:

• Wash your hands frequently.  Not only does this help you but also those around you.
• Drink plenty of water.  Water will flush things through your system.
• Don’t touch your eyes, mouth, ears or nose as these are typically portals of entry for germs.
• Get lots of sleep.  Sleep will give your body some down time from stress, etc. so that you are stronger and therefore less likely to get sick.
• Refrain from eating sugar.  Sugar creates the growth of bacteria.
• Try our herbal Immune Support.  A natural way to boost your immune system.
