Easy ways to keep your immunity strong!
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “It is health that is the real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”
So true, especially when illness strikes and everyday life suddenly feels out of reach.
That’s why supporting your immune health is so important. A strong immune system acts as your body’s natural shield, helping you stay well even when exposed to viruses and seasonal bugs. When your natural immunity is working at its best, you’re more likely to bounce back quickly - or avoid getting sick in the first place!
Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference - we all know what helps us stay well, but it’s easy to forget. So here’s your friendly reminder!
-
Prioritise Sleep
Quality sleep helps your body repair and recharge - and gives your immune system the rest it needs to stay strong.
-
Stay Hydrated
Water supports every system in your body, including your natural defences. Aim for 6–8 glasses a day to help flush out toxins and keep everything running smoothly.
-
Eat Real Food
Nutrient-rich whole foods like colourful vegetables, fresh fruit, lean proteins and healthy fats help fuel your natural immunity. Try to limit processed foods and sugar, especially during cold and flu season.
-
Get Moving
Daily movement – even a short walk – boosts circulation, reduces stress, and supports immune health by helping immune cells travel through the body more efficiently
-
Support with Supplements
Even with a healthy lifestyle, sometimes we need an extra boost. Add a natural immune boosting supplement to your diet. Our favourite, of course, is Bee Pollen - nature’s superfood that packs a mighty punch when it comes to helping us stay healthy. We also love Turmeric, Propolis and Manuka Honey. The traditional ‘hot toddy’ lemon and honey drink is still a winner when your nose is blocked and your throat is scratchy no matter the time of year.
We have a range of natural immune boosting products available, all using natural pure ingredients made right here in NZ.
Stay on top of the basics, give your body what it needs - and don’t get sick if you can help it! Your immune system will thank you for it.
