Healthier & Stronger: Immunity Tips for Your Family

We’re all going to remember 2020 as the year that we saw health from a different set of lenses. Our global health situation has affected us on a critical scale, requiring us to prioritize well-being. Now, as we focus our attention on making good health a new way of life, you can rely on Watsons to be by your side every step of the way. Here are a few recommendations on what you can do at home to keep your immunity strong and your family healthy.

Be active – Exercising has many known benefits: it helps us get fit, improves our moods, even helps boost the health of our internal organs. Did you know, though, that staying active strengthens our immune system, as well? Allot some time for exercise, at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, at least 4 times every week. Go for group exercises like dance or cardio so the whole family can be involved.

Eat right – A major factor that can spell the difference in strengthening your family’s immunity is watching your diet. There are plenty of immunity-boosting foods you can easily incorporate into your daily recipes, from healthy vegetables such as carrots and broccoli, to flavorful spices like garlic and ginger. Furthermore, you can also finish your meals with a warm cup of comfort thanks to Nutrabliss by Watsons Tea.

Get quality sleep – Getting proper sleep helps increase our defense against sicknesses. Since we have more time on our hands now, we easily tend to sacrifice rest for activities like binge-watching and using our gadgets late at night. To help avoid this, set a proper time for sleeping. Manage the household’s schedule and make room for most of your activities in the morning, so everyone can sleep soundly come nighttime.

Take vitamins regularly – With our current situation, some natural sources of vitamins may be hard to come by. With trips to grocery stores becoming more challenging, know that you can also count on vitamin intake strengthen your family’s immunity.

On top of maintaining a healthy diet, you can easily rely on taking supplements to help provide the nutrients you need.
