Give your body a chanceRecently and for the last few years there has been much talk, fear and panic concerning yet another “flu” epidemic. Even without avian flu and the more recent swine flu, the NHS offer “free” flu jabs to the vulnerable and the elderly. The subject of vaccination and their effects are too lengthy to discuss here, but in all cases it is preferable to strengthen the body’s own defences with a more natural approach. As the summer months draw to a close, it could be a good time to consider boosting your body’s natural immunity to keep colds and flu at bay. It seems common sense that after a busy summer of school holidays, gardening and BBQ’s, that it’s time to rest and relax. Think of Mother Nature and how animals, trees and plants use the winter months to rest and recuperate – being totally refreshed and ready to burst forward into the spring – we could learn much from nature and its ways. Eating good home cooked food, little and often and eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, could help to provide a good base for optimum health at this time of year. Give your immune system a chance! We are often putting our bodies through a punishing daily routine of stress, poor diet, overwork and lack of exercise. Small lifestyle changes now can make a big difference that will last for a lifetime. Seek help from a Kinesiologist, get regularly balanced and listen to your body.
