7 Ways to Support your Health this New Year

7 Ways to Support Your Health This New Year

Disclosure: I’ve partnered with Procter & Gamble and Source Naturals as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Since it's not only the start of a new year but also the start of a new decade, I think it's the perfect time to make adjustments for a happier and healthier lifestyle! This year, I want to focus on boosting my immune system and overall health. I believe that it all starts with taking care of your body and in the colder months, which is especially important! Keep reading for 7 ways I’m supporting my health this year!

Frequent Hand Washing

I know you have heard this a million and one times, but washing your hands is an absolute must when it comes to supporting your health in the winter. Washing your hands not only helps to protect your immune system, but also those around you!

Increasing Fiber Intake

Fiber can be found in foods like nuts, oats and apples and is a great way to boost your immune system, as well as decrease inflammation! Around the holidays, life gets especially hectic and it can be hard to find ways to incorporate fiber into your on the go diet. Metamucil Fiber Thins Chocolate are perfect for that as they're a delicious, crunchy fiber snack that provides 5g of fiber, 20% of your daily recommended value! They’re also only 100 calories per serving and help satisfy hunger as well! Metamucil is the #1 doctor-recommended fiber brand, trapping and removing the waste that weighs you down so you feel lighter and less sluggish!

Getting Better Sleep

The winter months bring us “shorter days”, which makes it easy to adjust to the daylight and get more sleep. I want to be more intentional with my time and use the longer evenings to relax before bed. Powering down earlier, limiting screen time, and getting to sleep as early as possible can really help to support your health!

Taking Supplements

Day to day life can be full of demands and challenges, but when you unlock the power of wellness to support your health, you’ll Live Unstoppable™! My go-to is theSource Naturals® Wellness Formula® (45 count), which helps to boost your immune health, promotes normal mucus production in your respiratory system, keeps white blood cells healthy from free radicals, promote a healthy response to stress, and support a healthy respiratory system! It’s become an important part of my daily wellness routine and is a ritual I plan to continue in the new year as well!

But What About Your Gut?

Our gastrointestinal tract is filled with trillions of bacteria, both good and bad. In order to help support the good cells and therefore my immune system, it’s important to keep it healthy! I help support my gut with Align Dualbiotic Gummy, 54 Count, which are great tasting and easy to chew. They contain a prebiotic fiber, inulin, to help nourish the good bacteria in your digestive system! I love that they’re naturally flavored and contain less than 1g of sugar per gummy, as well.

Practicing Mindfulness and Meditation

The winter blues are not just in your instagram theme! That mixed with the stress and anxieties of the holidays, make it the perfect time to find healthy ways to manage and cope! It can be as easy as practicing deep breathing when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Remember earlier when I mentioned about evening relaxation? This can also be a time to introduce meditation into your routine. Sitting in a dark room, free of distractions can really help you relax and empty your pressing thoughts from the day.

Stocking up on Cold Medicine

No matter how many preventative measures you take, it’s almost inevitable to come down with a cold at some point during the season (especially if you’re a mom to a preschooler!). We like to keep medicine on hand, that way we can treat and handle colds without the stress. One thing we always have stocked is the Vicks VapoCOOL SEVERE Medicated Drops 45ct., which work wonders for soothing a sore throat. It contains Benzocaine, a powerful numbing agent tackles sore throat pain fast! It’s targeted intense cooling and powerful numbing treatment vaporizes your sore throat pain right where you need it!

With the cold weather upon us, building immunity this winter should be top of mind to provide for optimal health going into the new year! These are easy ways you can stay on track with your wellness, by supporting yourself with proper supplements & best practices to keep yourself healthy! All of the products mentioned can be found at Walmart and online at www.WalmartHealthSupport.com making it easy and convenient to stock up in time!
