Follow these simple winter wellness tips to keep your immune system strong.
– Eliminate sugar and processed foods from your diet. Sugar consumption has an immediate, debilitating effect on your immune system. Vitamin D, vitamin C, and zinc are the top nutrients that boost your immune system. Sugar can cause a deficiency in all three of these nutrients and negatively affect your immune system.
– Get plenty of good quality sleep. We have plenty of products to help you accomplish this. Check out this blog post for tips and strategies to help you relax and rewind, and get the best night’s sleep ever!
– Optimize your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency is the likely cause of seasonal flu viruses. Getting an optimal level of vitamin D will help you fight infections of all kinds. (take with good fats/helps increase absorption). Young Living’s Super Vitamin D supports the body’s respiratory system, immune system, bone growth, and hormone production with vegan-friendly vitamin D and a blend of premium essential oils.
– Address the stress effectively. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, your body will not have the reserves it needs to fight infection. Essential oils are highly effective in helping to deal with emotional turmoil and stress from everyday situations in life.

– Exercise. Your immune system needs good circulation in order to perform at its best for you.
– Take a high quality source of animal-based omega 3 fats like our Green Omega 3™ Softgels. Compared to other vegan omega-3 supplements, Green Omega 3 softgels contain one of the highest amounts of DHA and EPA. Each serving packs 330 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and 160 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) from a pure plant source—marine algae. We also added flaxseed oil—which is naturally rich in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid)—and Clove essential for its antioxidant properties. Together, these plant-based ingredients give you all the benefits of fish oil supplements without the fishy aftertaste!
– Wash your hands. Use soaps with naturally derived ingredients like our Thieves Foaming Hand Soap. Thieves Foaming Hand Soap pairs our signature Thieves premium essential oil blend with other naturally derived ingredients for a formula that delivers a gentle clean for the whole family.
