It’s the middle of winter and the height of cold and flu season, which means you’ve probably got immune health on your mind. Luckily, there are plenty of simple lifestyle changes you can make that can help boost your immune function and even strengthen it over time.
6 Lifestyle Tips To Strengthen Your Immune System
Get 7-8 Hours Of Sleep
At the top of the list, as usual, is getting enough quality sleep. Studies show that people who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to get sick and can take longer to recover when they do get sick. Add this to the long list of reasons why it's important to get 7-8 hours of shut-eye every night.
Daily Exercise
The link between regular exercise and improved immune function is undeniable. Moderate exercise not only helps your immune system find and deal with pathogens in the short term, it also helps to slow the changes that happen to the immune system with age. Moving your body at least 30 minutes a day is all it takes to enjoy the benefits.
Spend Time In Nature
In addition to reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and helping you get the vitamin D your body needs, spending some time each day out in nature has been shown to boost your body’s immune function.
Manage Chronic Stress
While moments of stress are a perfectly natural, and even healthy, part of life, chronic stress has been shown to dampen immune function. That’s why it’s so important to give yourself time every day to destress. Whether that’s through meditation, yoga, or an evening routine with a mug of Golden Superfood Bliss, do something that brings you peace every day. *
Prioritize Nutrient-Dense Foods
Our diet is how every system in our body gets the nutrients needed to function properly, and the immune system is no exception. Make sure you’re eating a varied diet full of wholesome, nutrient-dense foods to give your entire body the fuel it needs.
Support Gut Health
The connection between immune health and gut health has become clear over the last several years. In addition to eating a diet rich in both soluble and insoluble fibers, incorporating a high-quality Probiotic can also help improve gut health. The active strains in the Earth Echo Probiotic support a diverse gut microbiome and help keep the immune system strong to help provide defense. *
Our body’s immune system is incredibly powerful and complex, but strengthening it is actually quite simple! Take charge of your immune health by incorporating the tips above and choosing a Probiotic packed with 12 active super-strains to support optimal gut health. Grab yours here! *

I love the cacao bliss and am sharing it with the
people I love in my family!
Great tips! I’m happy to say I do all 6! I have committed to walking a mile everyday outside & I’m super proud of myself for sticking to this for over a year now! When it’s too cold out, like yesterday, I walk inside a big store like Walmart! But, I still go outside! Yesterday I was out the door at 8:45, which is early for me :) I got my hair done, got a pedicure, did some shopping, banking and treated myself to a healthy iced green tea with lemon at a local coffee shop & I treated the car behind my at the drive_thru! I do that once in a while to pay it forward! I felt very good at the end of the day because I put my self care 1st & I paid it forward! It was a great day! Thank you Danette for helping me be the best version of myself! Lots of love! Deb :)
