Cold and flu season is just beginning, and if you’re anything like us, you’re dreading it.
While you can’t get 100% prevention from every bug out there, there are little things you can do to help boost your immunity. At Tricky Fish, we’re all about simple food prepared well, and we know that what goes into your body makes a big difference in terms of your overall health. Here are a few simple, natural ways to head off the cold and flu this year that begin with what you put in your body:
Drink Plenty of Water
Did you know that most Americans are consistently dehydrated? Dehydration forces our organs and muscles to work overtime, exposing them to risk. Instead, plan to drink at least half a gallon of water daily to keep your body healthy.
Load up on the Right Supplements
If you’re not a daily vitamin person, now’s the time to start! Vitamins and other supplements fill in the gaps where your nutrition may be lacking. For immune health, consider loading up on Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Elderberry, and Andrographis specifically.
Stay Well Rested
Get at least 7 hours of sleep at night to ensure your body ample time to recharge and refuel each night. Your body uses those sleeping hours to repair damaged cells and prevent further infections and viruses.
Eat Well
Ahh – this is where Tricky Fish can help! A diet rich in nutrient-rich, healthy food can do wonders for keeping you healthy! Whether you are in the mood for blackened fish, a salad, or even our Kitchen Sink Gumbo – rest assured you’re eating the highest quality food to support a healthy diet.
Come see us at Tricky Fish this week for lunch, dinner, and happy hour! We can’t wait to serve you at the best restaurant in Richardson or Fort Worth!
