Sore Throat Right Now? This Is Why (And How To Fix it)

If you keep getting sore throats, and have one right now - this video will help you. I'll share with you some reasons why people are getting more sore throats and other infections as well as some science-backed ways to fix it by boosting your immune system.
Over the past 3 years, we've been the coughs/colds/sore throats that would normally go around, didn't really have the opportunity to do that, as we weren't mixing as much as usual. And normally our immune system is calibrating/responding to these so it didn't have an opportunity. Now we are mixing again these viruses are spreading and we are getting ill more often.
But What If you seem to catch one virus after another, and how can we boost our immunity naturally? Well, there are 7 science-backed tips to enhance your immunity:
1) Eating healthy food
Aim to have plenty of fruit and veg and importantly ensure you are getting enough sources of vitamin A, C, E, D as well as iron, copper, selenium, and b vitamins
2) Being physically active
This keeps our body healthy but is also great for our mental health. By being active, we promote better blood flow and meaning our immune cells are more active and able to respond to infections.
3) Sleeping well
Sleep is a super power - no joke. Our body regenerates, tweaks and calibrates during sleep and our immune system doesnt work at its best if you are not fully toped up with 7-9 hours of sleep.
4) Maintaining a healthy weight
When we are overweight or obese then we are more prone to infections and serious complications.
5) Quit smoking
No brainer, it damages the lining of your respiratory system which makes you more prone to picking up infections - like sore throats, viral infections and pneumonia.
6) Reduce Alcohol intake
In a perfect world - no alcohol is what the recommendation would be. But most people drink and have no intention to giving up. So its managing how much we drink, the less the better.
7) Reduce Stress
When we are stressed we release loads of hormones that can affect how our body works. This can reduce our immune response, so its super important to find out what stresses us and to work towards reduce it.
