Seven ways to boost immunity
Reduce the risk of getting sick with these tips to boost immunity from dietitian and founder of The Australian Superfood Co, Hayley Blieden.

1. Eat the rainbow

A diet high in fruits and vegetables is the best boost to the body. Also avoid processed foods.

2. Exercise regularly 

Even if you are feeling sick, slow movement is better than none at all.

3. Stay hydrated

Ensuring you are drinking adequate amounts of water enables your body to stay hydrated and can aid in flushing out toxins.

4, Get adequate sleep

This is the time your body reboots.

5. Meditate

Enabling your mind to slow down reduces the stress on your nervous system and allows your body to function at its optimum.

6. Wash your hands

Coughing into your shoulder or elbow, sneezing into a tissue and regularly washing your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds is necessary to avoid the spread of germs.

7. Take a probiotic/vitamin C combination

A recent study led by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition concluded that supplementation with a probiotic/vitamin C combination may be beneficial in the prevention and management of upper respiratory tract infection. The Australian Superfood Co’s Vitamin C Booster is 100 per cent wholefood blend, expertly combining Vitamin C with pre and probiotics to deliver a scientifically-proven daily dose of goodness.
