**Helpful Tips for the cold season** is brought to you by [Cold-EEZE.com](http://www.Cold-EEZE.com) It is believed that our immune system is easily affected by a number of factors, such as diet, stress levels, environment - even the medications we take. Sometimes our immune systems can get stressed out, weakening our body's ability to fight off infection. Its times like these that a healthy change to your lifestyle to assure that you're supporting your immune system might be necessary. Immune-boosting tips include:#1 Managing stress:
High levels of stress, even in the short-term, can be "toxic" to the immune system. Stress can wreak havoc by weakening the strength of the immune system. Some easy ways to manage stress include exercise, yoga, meditation or other deep breathing exercises. Reading, listening to calming music and taking time to enjoy your hobbies are also recommended.
#2 Immune boosting:
Taken daily or when stressed, fatigued or feeling run down, an immune boosting dietary supplement can help keep the immune system working at is peak. New Cold-EEZE Immune Support Complex 10 is made of a proprietary blend of 10 clinically validated herbs, vitamins and zinc to support optimum immune system function.
#3 Get moving:
Exercising isn't just for watching your waistline. Studies have found that moderate exercise provides a boost in the production of immune cells and circulates them through the body at a much quicker rate than during inactive times. The average adult should get at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five times per week. Walk stairs instead of taking the elevator, or park further away from stores to start slowly - the key is to get your joints moving, your weight down and your circulation flowing. This provides oxygen to your cells and nourishes your body.
#4 Laughter is the best medicine:
This isn't just a myth! Laughing releases endorphins, a feel-good chemical that many believe boosts immunity. Laughter also reduces stress hormones, which are known to negatively affect the immune system.
#5 Eat your fruits and veggies:
Fruits and vegetables are diet staples because they are full of the antioxidants that are vital to good immunity, such as the B vitamins, vitamin C and phytonutrients. Foods, such as spinach, garlic, broccoli, carrots, blueberries and oranges, among others, are great sources of free-radical fighting antioxidants. Look to the vitamin and herb complex in ISC-10 to provide your body with the most important free radical nutrients your body needs for a healthy immune system.
#6 Catch Some ZZZ's:
Many Americans don't get the minimum seven hours of sleep necessary to stay alert and maintain a healthy lifestyle. A lack of sleep will lower your immunity to infection and hinder the body's natural healing mechanisms, so get enough restful sleep each night so that you wake up refreshed.
