The cold season is when cases of cold and flu rise the most. The drop in temperature, while generally pleasant in a warm country like ours, can however stress the body and lead us to fall sick.

Whenever the risk of falling sick increases it is important to make sure we bolster our defenses accordingly as well. That means taking care of our health to ensure our immune system functions optimally. While getting enough sleep and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is critical to this, our diet is equally important. Make sure to ensure getting adequate protein and nutrients from healthy sources like pasture-raised meat, organs, eggs, and fish. Use ghee and coconut oil for healthy fats and include plenty of antioxidants from plant foods like oranges, tea, berries, etc.
