Nourish Your Immune System This Winter

As winter sets in, paying attention to your immune health becomes more crucial than ever. A powerful immune system is your best defense against common colds, flu, and other illnesses that tend to spike during the colder months. Exercising, destressing, and fueling your body with immune enhancing foods and nutrients may help protect your body and mind alike.

Winter has a powerful impact on both the mind and body, transforming how we feel and function, and many external elements that come along with the seasonal change can really impact our health. The chill of colder temperatures can put extra strain on the body, making it more susceptible to illnesses and infections. With fewer hours of sunlight, our mood and energy levels can also fall. On top of that, the winter months often lead to changes in our diet. With fewer fresh fruits and vegetables on the menu due to seasonality factors, we may miss out on key nutrients that help support a strong immune system. A nutrient-packed, balanced diet is more important than ever for staying healthy and feeling your best during the season ahead.

Consuming vitamin-rich foods like citrus fruits and leafy greens, along with zinc-packed options such as nuts, seeds, and legumes, can help boost immune health. And less well known, are the mighty benefits of fatty fish (like salmon, mackerel, and sardines) which support healthy omega-3 levels. While maintaining a balanced diet is always essential, it's important to consider supplementation if you're unable to meet all your nutritional needs through food alone, especially as the winter months approach. Vitamins C and D have long been trusted for immune support, but omega-3 supplements are gaining popularity in this area, with increasing scientific evidence backing their benefits.

The immune system is a complex and extensive system that is always on, in surveillance mode, working to keep our bodies as healthy as possible. One important immune system response is the inflammatory response. Omega-3 EPA & DHA nutrients in Kori Krill Oil play a very important role to help regulate inflammation in the body, supporting our cellular repair and internal defense systems, and maintaining the normal healthy status quo. This immune role complements the role of other well known immune health nutrients; in fact, evidence suggests that healthy intakes of a combination of Vitamin C, D, + Omega-3s may have a more positive impact on immune health than inadequate levels of these nutrients.

Kori’s Multi-Benefit Omega-3 offers comprehensive benefits for your immune system, brain, heart, joints, eyes, and skin. The omega-3s are provided in their most natural phospholipid and triglyceride forms, similar to those found in a balanced fish diet, ensuring superior absorption without the fishy aftertaste.

Supporting a healthy immune system with proper nutrition and supplementation can support both your physical and mental well-being, for your best health during the winter months.
