Support the Immune Response: Uncovering the Natural Ways to Encourage Health and Wellbeing

As the seasons change and temperatures drop, it is more important than ever to focus on supporting your immune system. Many of us view our overall health and wellness as a single issue – when in reality it breaks down into many different components like diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices.

While taking steps that may help support your immune response may seem overwhelming, there are helpful strategies that you can utilize to optimize your efforts. Uncovering the power of these age-old approaches that have been used for generations can ignite the energy within that encourages true health and well-being.

Our Immune System in Cold Weather

When temperatures drop and the weather gets colder, we are more susceptible to illness. One of the main reasons for this is that the cold air causes a temperature drop in the nasal tissue causing our immune systems to weaken by almost half. *†

Viruses and bacteria (like rhinovirus) often spread more quickly in colder temperatures due to our increased susceptibility. *†

Ways to Support the Immune System Naturally

Natural solutions are proven to be effective in building immunity and preventing illnesses and diseases. One way to support the immune response is to eat a healthy diet high in antioxidants and other nutrients. Some specific foods that are known to support the immune system include fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds.*†

Another way to support the immune system is through supplements. There are a number of supplements that can help support the immune response, including vitamin C, vitamin D, quercetin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.*

Quercetin Phytosome (Quercefit®) with enhanced Phytosome technology offers up to 20 times more bioavailability vs. standard quercetin.* Pair this with Pure Albion® Zinc as Glycinate Chelate, considered to be the Gold-Standard in quality minerals, for maximum bioavailability.*

Using age-old nutrients

Age-old nutrients are a form of nutrition that has been used for centuries and is typically found in traditional diets. They come from foods that have existed for a long time and have been consumed by humans for generations.*

These ancient ingredients are also full of dietary fiber and antioxidants which promote healthy digestion as well as provide essential components for proper body functioning and overall wellness.*

Things like Quercetin, Turmeric, and Vitamin C are all examples of time-tested nutrients designed by nature to help support the body’s optimal state.*

How to Take Charge of Your Health Part 2: Stress Management and Inflammation

If you’re wondering how to take charge of your health, stress management and inflammation are two excellent places to start. Prolonged or excessive levels of either can wreak havoc on the body, contributing to many undesired ailments such as headaches, anxiety, fatigue, and even autoimmune disorders.

Fortunately for us, holistic options exist that provide potential support as well as a way to get back in control of your overall well-being. Let’s explore nutrition and other lifestyle strategies to help bring a healthy balance to inflammation and manage stress!

Stress Management

Stress is common among many people. It can be caused by many different things, such as work, family, or financial problems to name a few. While stress is sometimes unavoidable, it can also be managed.*

One way to manage stress is to practice stress management techniques. These techniques can help you cope with stressful situations and reduce the amount of stress you feel. There are many different stress management techniques, but some of the most common ones include meditation, deep breathing, and getting plenty of sleep.†*

If you are feeling stressed out, try one of these techniques. They may not work for everyone, but they can be a great way to start managing your stress.*

Certain herbs and supplements may also help with symptoms of stress. Ashwagandha has been around for thousands of years and has been known to help alleviate stress and anxiety. Our Adrenal Health helps to support healthy stress levels.†*

Inflammation

There are many foods that you can eat to help with inflammation in your body. Some of these foods include cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and leafy greens like kale, spinach, and chard. Brightly colored fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, and berries are great anti-inflammatory foods as well. †*

All of these foods are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that can help keep your body balanced.*

Turmeric is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and can easily be added to foods, smoothies, or even taken as a supplement. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.†*

Taking proactive measures to reduce stress, such as practicing mindfulness and relaxation will go a long way in relieving the effects of stress on our bodies.

Here at Emerald, we have many dietary supplements that may help support your efforts in stress management and inflammatory factors, many of which are in our Allergy & Wellness category.

How to Take Charge of Your Health Part #1: Weight Loss & Detox

Welcome to a new year and another chance to take your health into your own hands! With the start of 2023 comes an opportunity to reevaluate your approach to staying healthy this year. 

Natural supplements, holistic remedies, and herbal mixtures can all be powerful tools in supporting your well-being. 

In the first part of this 2 part series, we are discussing the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and the different habits you can start to develop that may support this goal — and how pairing it with detox is essential to overall good health.

Weight Loss

Losing weight is a goal many people strive for, for many different reasons.

Some people want to lose weight to improve their overall health, while others may be trying to slim down for a special event. Whatever the reason, losing weight can be a difficult task. There are many different ways to go about it, and what works for one person may not work for another.*

There are a few basic things that everyone should do when trying to lose weight: eating healthy foods, getting enough exercise, and drinking plenty of water are a few of the main ways to start your weight loss journey.*† 

There are also a few other things that can help encourage your weight loss efforts. For example, adding some science-backed supplements to your daily routine can help to support weight management and metabolic wellness – like our Weight Loss Health formula.*

There is no one “right” way to lose weight, different things work for different people. But by following these basic tips, you could be on your way to reaching your goals.*

Improving Digestion and Detoxification

Improving digestion and detoxification are key to overall good health. When our digestive system is working properly, we can break down and absorb the nutrients from the food we eat. This means that our bodies can get the sustenance they need to function properly.* 

In addition, a healthy digestive system helps us eliminate toxins from our bodies. This is important because toxins can cause a number of health problems if they build up. By improving our digestion and detoxification, we can enjoy better overall health.*

Our Super Cleanse is a potent blend of CLEANSING & DETOXIFYING ingredients. This formula is designed to work independently for cleansing and detoxification but is also designed to be taken with Emerald Labs Diet & Cleanse formula’s weight management protocol.*

Ultimately your health is up to you, but the great news is there are hundreds (perhaps thousands) of options available to help you improve your health and live your best life in 2023 … and beyond!
