Take on Cold Season with Chiropractic

Cold and flu season is here. Many may avoid getting sick thanks to social distancing, but this time of year is usually spent fighting or avoiding the cold and flu. Nobody wants to get sick, but that’s not enough to prevent illness. Here are a few tips to keep illness away.

Improve Your Diet

You know that a well-balanced can do a lot for your health, including keeping sickness at bay. Along with making generally healthy choices, it may be beneficial to increase the amount of garlic and Vitamin C that you consume. Vitamin C is famous for boosting the immune system, so try to eat more oranges, tomatoes, and leafy greens. Garlic is also thought to be a natural antifungal and antibiotic. This spice may give your immune system that added boost it needs to fight off the cold and flu.

Wash Your Hands Frequently

This may seem obvious, but many people don’t practice handwashing as much as they should. Y should wash your hands after coughing or sneezing, before eating, and after touching commonly handled objects. If you are unable to wash your hands that much, keep a small bottle of sanitizer handy.

Come to Williamsburg Chiropractic

You know chiropractic care can help your back, but did you know regular adjustments can help improve your overall health and wellness? It is thought that regular chiropractic care can help improve the immune system by keeping the central nervous system functioning optimally. When the spine is in proper alignment, the body can work more efficiently, meaning more energy is spent keeping you well rather than dealing with other issues. Our chiropractors also promote other preventative behavior like a healthy diet and exercise. When done with chiropractic care, these factors can all prove to be a great boost for your body’s ability to fight illness.
