5 Tips to Boost Your Immunity during the Holidays

The holiday season is just around the corner. I would admit this is the most happiest and my favorite season each year. Oh, how I wish that I was that child way back, some 20-ish years ago, who just waits for Santa's gift to arrive and open them at midnight and not to worry of anything else but the gifts I received that Christmas Eve. With the simple hamon de bola, keso de bola and spaghetti on the dinner table, my Christmas is already complete!

Now, that we are all grown up, we are the one tasked to make this season a meaningful one with our kids, nephews, nieces and our inaanaks. With a handful Christmas parties that you need to attend to, to the countless number of inaanaks (godchildren) that you need to give gifts to, to the unending thinking of what is the best gift to buy for your loveydubs and loved ones, this season may be fun but at the same can be a little bit stressful.

In order to enjoy the most of this season, we need to fully equip ourselves with habits and essentials that we need to boost our immunity and go through the holiday season with ease and no sickness. Here are some of my tips:

1. Have complete hours of sleep everyday of at least 8 hours. Do not deprive yourself of sleep. No matter how hectic the December nights are. Take time to rejuvenate and relax. Relieve your body and your brain with all the worries by resting.

2.  Plan Ahead of Everything. May it be for shopping, attending parties and the like, one should learn to prepare ahead to avoid accumulating stress due to hassles and unforeseen events. More planning, less stress.

3. Eat well-balanced meals. Oh that crispy "Cebu Lechon" can be tempting! And having a bite or even tens of bites of it should not be a sin. But try to eat healthy too. Eat the right amount of meat, veggies, fish and fruits on your basic meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and you are good to go party and eat those unending buffets!

4. Drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday. This is one of my weakness, I admit. I cannot drink enough water for my body. (Ugh.) But yes believe it or not, we should make water our bestfriend for the rest of our lives. Why? We lost a lot of liquid everyday and in order to replace it, we should keep our bodies hydrated to function well. And who doesn't want clear and attractive skin? Well, drinking water helps our skin feel and look young, so hydrate!

5. And lastly, and the most important thing, take a dose of Fern-C as the added vitamins of Sodium Ascorbate - the non-acidic vitamin C can boost our immunity more and protect us from the stress of the holiday season. FERN-C is tried and trusted as an immunity booster and tested for 10 years already. It is a potent anti-oxidant that increases body resistance against infectious diseases. Given that it is in a Sodium Ascorbate form, it doesn't cause and contribute to stomach irritation and ulcers. So it is safe to take a dose daily for our daily immunity boost.
