How To Keep Your Immune System Strong Through the Holiday Stress

Immune SystemWhat does your immune system have to do with the holidays? Well… everything! 

Does this image look familiar? For many of us, the holidays can be a more stressful-than-usual time! There are all those gifts to buy — and you’ve got to be sure you pick the right ones. And of course, once you have them, you stay up late into the night wrapping them — not to mention moving around that Elf on a Shelf before the kids wake up every day!

Then there are the holiday parties… so many of them… with so much tempting food and drink. And we can’t forget to mention the stress of finishing up those last-minute work “emergencies,” so you have time to enjoy the holidays with your family.

All of this added stress can wreak havoc on your immune system. That, in turn, can set you up for those cold and flu bugs that seem to “magically” show up this time of year. But fear not: We can show you a few ways to strengthen your immunity so you remain healthy throughout all the holiday shenanigans!

4 Simple Immune System Boosting Tips

Tip #1: Get Plenty of Sleep

We know it’s tough to get enough sleep during hectic times like these, but it’s well worth planning out how you will optimize your sleep schedule. Set up a time each day where, no matter what, you go to bed. If something isn’t complete, don’t sweat it: That task will still be there tomorrow, but with quality sleep, you’ll be able to handle it so much better. For more information on how to get more and better sleep, visit our Sleep Therapy page. 

Tip #2: Take a “Holiday Time-out”

With so much going on all day, you may think taking time away from your to-do list is a near impossibility. But even a short amount — as little as five minutes — can make a significant difference to your stress levels. Try taking a few “holiday time-outs” during the day. Step away from your work, sit quietly, and breathe deeply. If you enjoy meditating, take a five-minute meditation break. Or simply walk to another area of the house, away from other humans, and have a bit of “me” time with a comfy chair and a cup of tea or coffee. You’ll return refreshed — both body and mind — and ready to tackle what’s on your plate.

Tip #3: Walk!

Speaking of time-outs, here’s the best one: Walking. You may not have time for your regular exercise routine during the holidays, but you can always take a few minutes out for a walk. Walking has so many benefits for your immune system, your metabolism, and your overall well-being. If you can walk outside in nature for 10 or 15 minutes, that’s great — but even getting up and walking around the house or office for a few minutes will benefit you. It’s all about moving your body. You’ll see the stress start to melt away after a few minutes of walking. But here’s a caveat: Leave your cell phone at home! 

Tip #4: Eat Healthy Between the Get-togethers

We know you’ll be tempted by all those yummy holiday foods — and that’s fine! Don’t beat yourself up if you enjoy a good nosh now and again. The trick is to eat healthy in between the holiday events. That way you’re eating healthy, whole foods with plenty of nutrition most of the time. And what you do most of the time is far more important than what you do now and again. And eating healthy also includes taking immune-boosting supplements — even more important during this stressful time of year! Renewed Vitality offers a wide array of supplements to boost your immune system and you are welcome to call our clinic to purchase or click here. 

 

Your Immune System Will Thank You — And So Will Your Friends and Family!

Immune SystemWe hope these tips will help you keep the holiday stress at bay. And we’ve got many more ways to help you strengthen your Immune System, but these are a good start. Not only will getting proper sleep, taking time-outs, walking, and eating healthy help you, they’ll also help everyone around you. Why? Because you’ll be spending more time enjoying their company during the holidays, and less time dealing with all that stress. In fact, why not share this post with the people you love? We’re sure they could use a few immune-boosting tips, too!

OrthoMune: Broad-Spectrum Support for Your Immune System

At Renewed Vitality, we know that your immune system is your best defense—that’s why we’re so passionate about helping you strengthen it. We do that by taking an integrative approach, working with you to identify the root causes of dysfunction. In that way, we can optimize your health and make sure your immune system is as strong and resilient as possible!

As part of building a robust immune system, we often recommend supplementation with key vitamins and nutrients. To that end, we are pleased to offer OrthoMune, a targeted blend of vitamins and antioxidants built to support your body’s healthy immune function, healthy respiratory function, and to maintain a normal inflammatory balance. 

 

Highly Effective Ingredients

OrthoMune contains five key ingredients in a balanced formulation to support your immune system. These are some of the most important immune-boosting supplements you can use, all in one capsule:

  • Quercetin: Quercetin is best known for its antioxidant activity in scavenging free radicals. Studies show Quercetin can provide anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and anti-viral properties.
  • N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC): NAC is an amino acid that boosts antioxidant function. It also supports mucus clearance and normal respiratory function.
  • Zinc: Zinc is a well-known and widely-used supplement that can directly support the body during immune system challenges and help support healthy respiratory function.
  • Vitamin C: Experts have studied Vitamin C for years for its immune-supporting benefits. Through its antioxidant functions, Vitamin C can protect immune cells from damage.
  • Vitamin D3: Vitamin D can effectively boost the immune response of natural compounds that protect us against pathogens. In fact, studies have shown that people who are Vitamin D deficient are 80% more likely to contract the COVID-19 virus when exposed, compared to those who are sufficient in Vitamin D! 

 

The OrthoMune Difference

With everything going on globally, we’ve seen a far greater focus on immune health than ever before. That’s fantastic, but it can also be overwhelming when you’re trying to figure out how to best support your immune system. There are many supplements on the market, and new studies come out regularly, so there’s a lot to choose from. It’s not a stretch to say that many people have a medicine cabinet filled with bottles yet aren’t sure when and how to take them all.

That’s what makes OrthoMune so effective: You can take just two capsules a day and know that you’re getting some of the most potent immune system support available. Moreover, consistency plays a significant role in success with supplements: equally as important as what you take is taking it consistently. That’s another reason OrthoMune can be so helpful. After all, it’s easy to remember to take two pills a day versus a dozen or more.

We at Renewed Vitality understand how important it is to build a robust immune system, and that’s why we recommend OrthoMune. You can purchase this supplement in our online store or stop by the office and pick it up in person. You can also give us a call at 214-389-1233, and we will have it shipped to you.

 

Ortho Molecular Natural D-Hist

In most of the United States, spring is usually allergy season with new blooming plants and trees that can cause some folks to have allergy symptoms. Unfortunately, this does not hold true here in Texas! Here, we have year-round allergy season. In fact, Dallas, Waco, Austin, and San Antonio all rank among the worst cities for allergies in the country!

One of the big reasons why allergies are so bad in Texas is the heat. It’s not the blistering summer days that are to blame, but rather, the state’s relatively mild winters that create the perfect environment for year-round allergens. Texas’ mild winters allow for year-round plant growth, which means plants can pollinate throughout the year. While other parts of the country are experiencing frigid temperatures that turn vegetation dormant, some Texas plants are undergoing another season of pollination. In fact, winter is one of the worst times of the year for allergies in Texas. The cedar trees also bloom in winter, which can make a lot of people downright miserable!

Typically, August to November in Texas, a notorious allergy culprit, Ragweed, arrives in the air. Ragweed causes runny noses, sneezing, itchy eyes, and at its worst, asthma flares ups. 

Additionally, because so much of Texas remains humid throughout much of the year, different types of molds can also cause allergies to worsen whenever it is damp.

Ortho Molecular D HistWhen we are subjected to things like ragweed or cedar, our mast cells, usually found in the lungs and nose, release a chemical called histamine into our bloodstream. Histamine can cause sneezing, runny nose, cough, and other allergic symptoms. Histamine levels rise so as to “attack” the foreign invaders. Unfortunately, this is what causes us to feel so bad.

Dr. Spurlock and the staff here at Renewed Vitality understand how miserable Texas allergies can be and we are here to help you get through it!  We believe in being as proactive as possible to eliminate the worst of our allergy symptoms.

In addition to our commitment to you to help you build and enjoy a robust immune system, we can also offer some relief for the worst allergy symptoms.  We recommend Ortho Molecular Natural D-Hist®.  This product is available in our online store, or you can stop by the office and pick it up in person. You can also give us a call at 214-389-1233 and we will have it shipped to you.

Ortho Molecular Natural D-Hist is an effective supplement containing antioxidants, enzymes, and plant extracts. The ingredients in D-Hist work to degrade the histamine load, reduce inflammation, and thin mucous secretions. Many people use this supplement as a way to reduce seasonal allergy symptoms.  One of the main benefits of D-Hist is it is an all-natural supplement that will not cause drowsiness usually associated with most “antihistamines.” Natural D-Hist does not contain wheat, gluten, soy, animal or dairy products, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, or artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives.

With the Texas allergy season lasting virtually all year, we recommend you start on your preventative regime now, especially before we hit the Ragweed and Cedar months.

 

Supplements: What Does Dr. Spurlock Take? Free Seminar (please note date change to 7/18)

Dr. Spurlock, founder and renowned physician of Renewed Vitality Dallas, would like to invite you to his free and informative seminar, “Supplements: What Does Dr. Spurlock Take?”

When:             July 18 at 6:45 pm ** (please note, date has changed to July 18, 2019)

Where:            Dr. Spurlock’s Renewed Vitality Clinic, 9535 Forest Lane, Dallas, TX 75243

SupplementsIt can be confusing to determine if you should be taking supplements, understanding what they can do for your health, and which ones are the best to buy. We are bombarded with advertisements and promotions to take various supplements to feel younger, lose weight, boost immunity, restore libido, etc. However, without having an understanding of which supplements YOU need and what they can do, it can be an overwhelming guessing game.

Vitamins, supplements, and minerals are meant to enhance your health and “supplement” nutritional deficiencies, and even help with disease prevention.  A lot of people don’t know if they need supplements or think that they don’t because they are eating a healthy diet. However, even when eating a “clean” diet, it’s possible to still be deficient in vitamins and minerals. Many times, folks will start to experience fatigue and other vague symptoms and not realize that the answer could be a nutritional deficiency. 

Why are Supplements Necessary?

  • Many fruits and vegetables are lacking in nutrients due to the poor soils they are grown in, pesticide use, or are genetically modified
  • Many medications deplete the body of important vitamins and minerals
  • The majority of meat and fish available for consumption are “farmed” or raised in feedlots and fed nutritionally defunct diets or products high in corn and soy
  • The Standard American Diet is carbohydrate rich but nutrient poor
  • Chronic and every day stressors on the body and mind deplete the body of vitamins and minerals
  • Everyday exposure to toxins creates oxidative stress which wreaks havoc on the body and depletes nutrients
  • Supplements help to keep the endocrine system (hormones) balanced
  • To boost the immune system
  • Disease prevention associated with nutritional depletion
  • To help resolve chronic diseases
  • Help with energy levels and mental clarity
  • To counter the effects of aging

Upwards of 80-90% of Americans are found to be deficient in one or more vitamins. This is serious cause for concern because they are not even receiving the minimum amount needed to prevent diseases associated with deficiencies.

Supplements are not drugs. Instead, they work with your body to support normal biochemical reactions so that your body and mind function optimally.

Not All Supplements Are Created Equal

Supplement and vitamin quality can vary wildly and not all brands are created equally. The manufacturer determines quality because there are limited regulations regarding the manufacturing of supplements.

However, some companies are more mindful than others and practice “good manufacturing products” or GMP. Look for supplement brands who undergo third party analysis of their products to ensure they are using clean and pure products.
