There is nothing worse than waking up and not just feeling, but KNOWING that you are “coming down with something.” You may not know what it is, but you know you feel “off”. Maybe it’s a sore throat, or a cough, or you wake with nagging aches and pains, but it’s immediately clear that the next few days could be pretty miserable. During times when pathogens and infections are high, our immune systems are being put into overdrive each and every day trying to fight to keep us healthy. With the added stress of our day to day lives, it becomes that much harder for our bodies to do what they were designed to do.
Our immune system is the front line of defense against illness, disease, infection and inflammation. When we are exposed to different infections, bacteria and pathogens, our bodies natural defense systems get to work fighting off the bad stuff and repairing and supporting the good.
For almost all of us, we WISH we could have done more to protect ourselves from catching that cold, or flu, or bug that was going around, and would give ANYTHING to have it out of our systems.
