Ways to Boost Your Immune System BEFORE Winter

Before you know it, kids will be going back to school, the weather will be changing, and the cold and flu season will be back. Amongst picking pumpkins, and feasting with family, this fall and winter is going to be filled with fun events and memory-making times. The last thing you need is to have it all interrupted by an illness. At Absolute Wellness Center, we help you care for your WHOLE body, and while we specialize in chiropractic at the Lake of the Ozarks, we also have many other tools at our disposal.

Check out these easy things you can do to start boosting your immune system now, and how we would be honored to help.





Eat Balanced

Your diet can play a huge role in your immune system. You will need as many nutrients, vitamins, and minerals as you can pack in realistically. Focus on those whole foods like quality animal protein (if you are an omnivore), legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds, as well as plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. You can also include superfoods like bee pollen, mushrooms, and algae.

What should you avoid? Processed meats, fried foods, soft drinks, processed baked goods, or foods with artificial sweeteners or sugars. These items can suppress your immune system. Does this sound too hard to change? We offer nutritional counseling at the Lake of the Ozarks and would be glad to help you find a realistic way to change your diet.

Increase Vitamin C

The best sources of vitamin c are going to come from fresh fruits and vegetables. They can help strengthen your immune system and keep your body healthy. Plan for berries, citrus, kiwi, bell peppers, and dark green vegetables.

Drink Clean Water

Did you know that water helps in the production of lymph, which carries white blood cells as well as other immune system cells? Staying hydrated is one of the best things you can do when you’re trying to improve your immune system. Want to add some vitamin C as well? Try adding a slice of lemon to your water!

Get Plenty of Rest 

The population as a whole suffers from chronic fatigue, which is known to increase risks of illness. Your body needs sleep time to strengthen and rejuvenate. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep a day, and if needed, try to squeeze in an afternoon nap!

Increase the Friendly Bacteria 

There are so many studies confirming that your immune system is located in your digestive system. This means that keep ing a healthy gut flora is imperative to improving your immune system. Looking for foods with natural probiotics are a great way to make this happen. Look for fermented foods like raw sauerkraut, miso, yogurt, kefir, kimchi, and microalgae.

Relax and Enjoy Life!

Stress and depression can weaken your immune system. It makes you more vulnerable to illness as well. It’s important to make time to enjoy life and have some fun!


Don’t Forget Chiropractic!

Studies are showing time and again that chiropractic care is valuable in improving your immune system. If you are wanting to help your family boost their immunities, one of the best things you can do is get adjusted regularly. Of course, chiropractic helps more than just your immune system! You may find that those aches and pains start to go away, your headaches may start to disappear, and more. Sounds like a pretty good deal if you ask us!

If you’re ready to get started, our team is here to help. We have exceptional chiropractors at the Lake of the Ozarks who would be honored to join you on your journey to health. You still have time before winter sets in to improve your immunity, and we would love to help!
