IMMUNITY KIT
The body’s immune system defends against disease-causing microorganisms. However, when we are run down, working too hard, eating poorly, and not getting enough rest ore exercise, our immunity does not function at optimal levels.
It is important to take preventative steps to boost our immune system and keep overall inflammation at bay. This will help to keep acute and chronic illness from taking hold. Check out my flu fighters & immunity enhancing go-to's.
Taking Vitamin C is ubiquitous in our culture. I love these Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C packets because they use liposomes, a teeny tiny sac to carry the Vitamin C through your body.

Note: the taste is nothing to write home about, but just take it with a tall glass of water.
So many of us are mineral deficient, even when we eat organic, most of the soil now is deeply deficient in minerals it once has.

An easy, simple solution for making sure you are getting extra mineralization that you need during these chilly months.
