Nutrition Tips for Winter Wellness
- Keep sugar in check
High sugar intake can temporarily suppress immune response for hours at a time. - Prioritize protein
Consistent protein intake supports hormone balance, steady energy, and immune function. - Add antioxidant-rich foods daily
Colorful fruits and vegetables—especially citrus—help strengthen natural defenses. Add a drop of Lemon Vitality™ to water for extra support. - Lean on gut-supportive foods
Bone broth, fermented foods, and daily probiotics help keep your gut microbiome balanced. - Incorporate immune-forward herbs and spices
Garlic, turmeric, and ginger are simple additions that make a meaningful difference. Golden Turmeric powder offers an easy daily option.
Exercise
Regular physical activity supports circulation, helping your body stay strong and resilient throughout the winter months.
Stress Management
Chronic stress can weaken the body’s defenses. Incorporate calming practices like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing. Diffuse calming oils like Lavender or Stress Away® to promote relaxation.
Sleep
Quality sleep is essential for overall wellness. Deep Night Essence supports restful sleep using ingredients like lavender and lemon balm.
