Immunity

The best you can initially do is rest, stay well hydrated (water and electrolytes), and squeeze in your fruit and veges where and when you can (soups, stews, smoothies, etc.). 

Your body requires as much energy as you can allow it to help your immune system do its' thing, and resting will give your body that opportunity. So get comfy and just chill.

With hydration, this is more than just water, it also includes your electrolytes, particularly sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride. Electrolytes help keep your body's pH levels where they should be, which in turn helps your body absorb the fluid you drink. When you find yourself drinking lots of water but peeing more than once every hr, this means there is an imbalance in electrolytes and your body is unable to absorb the water you're drinking. So, try and sip on your water throughout the day as well as include plenty of fruit and vegetables. 

To help boost your immunity all year round, try and keep up with your vitamin c and zinc intake. Our bodies cannot produce or store either, so we need to have foods rich in these every day. Vitamin c enhances the absorption of plant-sourced iron and is abundant in most fruits and some vege. If you find it more convenient, vitamin c tablets work fine too - you just get a bit more from vitamin c rich foods i.e., fibre plus other nutrients. Zinc-rich foods include red meat, dairy, soy, and eggs, but you can also supplement this. 

Try your best to include immunity-boosting food and drink sources daily to help maintain a strong immune system. Movement and good sleep hygiene can also help support strong immunity.
