Winter Health Ideas: Good Nutrition for Your Immune System!
It’s Winter and the availability of fresh produce is limited. You can resort to hydroponic gardening or greenhouse growing…or else buy produce brought in from the Southern Hemisphere. However, you might want to take the general course of action and supplement your winter diet with a good nutritional supplement.
Not all nutritional supplements are created equally for every purpose and application! During the Winter, it is wise to give some added protection to your Immune System.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we build strong Wei Chi to keep the Immune System functioning perfectly. Your choice of Chinese Herbal Formulations which support the Wei Chi are ideal choices at this time of the year.
Food at this time of the year is often frozen or canned and you need to contribute some “live” energy to your body. Freeze-dried food and dried fruit is fine for maintaining the integrity of many nutrients, but you still need”life force” energy to see you through the Winter months, especially for a healthy Immune System.
Gan Mao Ling is one of several herbal formulas that supports the Wei Chi, as does Yin Chiao Chieh Du Wan among others which is taken at the very onset of cold or flu symptoms. It is of the utmost importance to keep any pathogen at the surface of the body to stop it from energetically entering deeper levels.
There is much more to this aspect of support for the Immune System, but this is a good beginning. If you pay tribute to your Wei Chi and keep it strong, then you will breeze your way through Winter without the typical sniffles, colds, or flu…which is a very useful health Idea for Winter weather that places stress on the Immune System for most people.
