Stay Well Tips for the Fall and Winter Season

Stay Well Tips for the Fall and Winter Season

  1. Avoid Refined Sugar
    • Your white blood cells, your body’s army, will be immobile and unable to defend against viruses and bacteria for up to 5 hours after consuming sugar.
    • A diet with large amounts of sugar (e.g., mocha in the morning, Coca-Cola at lunch, candy in the afternoon, and wine at dinner) provides no immune protection throughout the day.
    • Refined sugar also causes inflammation and increases the likelihood of infections, such as frequent viruses, UTIs, and skin issues.

    • Optimal Vitamin D3 levels: 60–80.
    • Low levels can lead to poor immunity, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, joint pain, and more.
