been feeling under the weather this week, so here's the honest list of what I actually do to get over it faster. some of it's boring (water, sleep, no sugar), some of it people have opinions about (raw garlic, high-dose vitamin C, caffeine for the headache). I'm not going to pretend I've footnoted every single one, but I do have an article with the studies behind the ones that are backed, plus more on how I keep my immune system strong so I get sick less in the first place. comment IMMUNE SYSTEM and I'll send you the link 🤍 not medical advice, just what works in my body. always talk to your doctor if you're actually unwell. #coldremedies #wellnesstips #holistichealing

The weather's changing and if you're someone who gets sick every single fall, here are things you can do to avoid getting sick by boosting your immune system!! Here's where I'd start: 🥝 Vitamin C foods: Citrus, bell peppers, kiwi, broccoli. 🦪 Zinc: Pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, oysters, beef. 🥬 Your gut: A huge part of your immune system lives there, so fermented foods like sauerkraut, kefir and kimchi actually matter. If you supplement, vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc are the ones I'd look into. Stress, movement and sleep are also super important. If you're sleeping five hours and running on cortisol, no amount of vitamin C is going to save you. Save this so you can return to it later!! #holistichealing #wellnesstips #immunesystem

Not here to take your PSL away. BUT I do want you to know what is in it. A grande pumpkin spice latte has 50g of sugar. That's 12 teaspoons. The American Heart Association says women should stay under 25g of added sugar a day. So one drink, often on an empty stomach, and you're already past the line before you've eaten anything. Drink it if it makes you happy. What I actually want is for you to know the number, because most of us don't. We're so used to these drinks that "how much sugar is in this?" never crosses our mind. Tell me honestly, did you know? And are you still ordering one tomorrow? #pumpkinspicelatte #psl #pumpkinseason #starbucksdrinks
