Happy Wellness Wednesday, Garden Fam 🌱
I hope you are doing well and having a wonderful week 💕
Today, we continue our Natural Remedies Series focusing on our immune system and treating seasonal allergies. Overall, God has given us bodies that are wonderfully complex, but simple to care for. As such, you will hear a lot of repetition in this series, as a few key things are foundational to health in most areas of our lives. In addition to following God’s Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit, We should do our best to healthy habits, such as:
Drinking plenty of water
Getting regular exercise
Getting enough quality sleep
Limiting stress
Eating a well-balanced, nutrient-rich diet
Vitamins
Minerals
Limited added sugars
Probiotic foods, like yogurt, sauerkraut & kimchi, pickles, tempeh, miso
Check out today’s video to learn some healthy foods, supplements, and practices for keeping our immune systems at their highest, and allergies at their lowest.
Note: Consult with your trusted medical professional if you have severe allergies and/or have been taking a prescribed allergy medication before switching out anything.
Love you bunches 🍇
Have a healthy & wholesome week!
