A strong immune system results in less down time and overall fatigue. When our immune system is working well, we spend less time and energy fighting off common ailments. The result? We feel more energised. Simples!
As the mercury drops, and us warriors go into protect and defend mode, we need to remember to keep up our stores of Vitamin C. Because unlike some vitamins, the humble Vit C has a short shelf-life inside our bodies. ln fact, a dose of this immune powerhouse is typically absorbed and used up a dose in just 90 mins. So we need to replenish our levels regularly through the day. Here's a few tips from HW's nutritionists on how to do it right. |

Vitamin C is key to a healthy immune system. Our bodies don't produce it, so we need to take it in our food and drink. It helps us stay strong, and fight those pesky colds and viruses like a warrior.

Bottom line - want to live longer?
Surround yourself with plants and then drink them.
Each tiny acerola cherry contains 350 mg of naturally occurring vitamin C. That's a whopping 30 x the vitamin C of an orange!
Acerola has 80% less sugar than oranges, which let's face it...bring a lot of natural sugar along with those seeds and bits in your teeth.
Along with extreme levels of vitamin C, acerola also contains a truckload of other vitamins and nutrients: vitamin A, vitamins B1 and B2, niacin, iron and flavonoids.
So before the cold season begins - you really can power your immunity with every psssht.
Your immune system is your body’s first line of defence. Think of it as the power up button in Pac Man, helping you fight off invaders.
humble warrior is your #1 go-to when it comes to immunity (obvs). And here are 5 more ways to stay strong like a warrior.
____________
When it comes to supporting immunity, it's all about eating natural unprocessed foods. Whole foods, such as plants (fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and wholegrains) gives you two things: 1) vitamins and minerals that your body can easily absorb (unlike synthetics or processed food and drink), and 2) the building blocks to help your immune system work properly.
____________
In a study about the links between relationships and immunity, psychologists have found that people with strong social networks are less likely to get sick. A study of 200 healthy participants found that the more diverse a person’s social network, the less likely they were to develop a cold. So get out there people and work the room / bar / office / gym !
____________
All you need is 30 to 60 minutes a day doing something active ... a brisk walk to the tube or run around the park.
You don't even need to go that hard, research shows that prolonged intensity workouts without rest between sessions can actually suppress your immune system .. So it's three cheers for moderation!
____________
There are mountains of studies showing that natural light energizes the T cells that play a central role in our immunity. Our skin particularly loves the light ... so seeing the sun rise, and doing some soul searching as you stand in front of it, is a good way to start the day after all.
____________
Sleep is the secret sauce to strong immunity. One research study found sleep deprivation reduced natural killer cells and immune responses after just one night.
Everyone's sleep needs are different but the good word is that adults should aim for 7 to 8 hours a night.

Cancri is a planet outside the solar system that scientists reckon could be 1/3 full of diamonds. It got us thinking about the whole parallel universe thing and what the good people of Cancri drink. And maybe they're wondering the same about us?

The results are in!
