With Thanksgiving just days away and the holidays on the horizon, the last thing you need to deal with is the effects of cold season. Plummeting temperatures and indoor gatherings put you at greater risk of contracting the common cold, which can take you off your game at a critical time of the year. But with the help of chiropractic care, your immune system can be better prepared to keep you healthy and focused this winter.
How to Help Your Immune System
While chiropractic care can be a real boon during cold season, there are several things you can do to support better immune system health. The healthier you live, the stronger your immune system is. During this time of year, it’s especially important to make sure you’re eating right, staying active, and getting a full night’s sleep.
This time of year is also usually one of the busiest—you no doubt have plenty of gatherings with friends, family, and co-workers to look forward to. Because the viruses that cause the common cold are airborne, wearing an N95 mask at get-togethers is a great way to protect yourself. Not only will this help you avoid getting the cold and flu, but it can also significantly reduce your risk of getting COVID-19.
Chiropractic Care for Cold Season Support
You already know that the benefits of chiropractic care include relieving stress, naturally reducing pain, and generally feeling better. But regular chiropractic adjustments can also be a big boost for your ability to fight off colds and illnesses.
An adjustment increases immune system activity as well as activity in the lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system helps manage fluid in the body and deliver white blood cells throughout the body. It’s key to fighting off infections and illness, and chiro care helps ensure that it’s doing its job at optimal levels.
