12 ARE YOU WINTER READY? Ain t No Sunshine When It Rains When it s cold and raining outside, there s a natural urge to curl up with a warm drink and binge watch a TV series. However, when you re enjoying the great indoors, you re not only missing a little sunshine, but also the sunshine nutrient, vitamin D. Talk to your Life Pharmacy Group Pharmacist about how you may be able to boost your vitamin D levels and support a healthy immune system. GIVE SICK DAYS THE FLICK! Calling in sick to work is generally a good decision when you re unwell, but it s not an easy task there s the conversation with your boss, and then the thought of your work piling up. If a cold or flu has knocked you down, it s time to fight back! But where should you start? It might seem obvious, but have you taken some vitamin C? This may help to reduce the severity and duration of colds. Also, let s not forget our Pharmacists can also recommend other immune defence boosters which (when taken as directed) may reduce the duration of cold symptoms and may help you give sick days the flick this year. EAT, SLEEP EXERCISE, REPEAT! While your immune system has a natural ability to fend off invaders, there are some healthy habits you can employ to benefit your immunity: Eat plenty of fruit, vegetables and whole grains as they provide valuable nutrients and antioxidants to support a healthy immune system Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and exercise regularly Adopt healthy sleep habits. If you feel like you don t have time for sleep, think about what you have to gain.
