Cold and flu season is now upon us beauties, so that means it’s time to think about preventative measures to avoid coughing, sneezing and hacking all over your coworkers, friends and family. Dr. Doni Wilson,an award-winning naturopathic doctor and nutritionist, is offering her tested and effective methods for staying healthy and resilient during the winter months. Lordt knows we don’t want to get sick these season, so we’re all ears!

With a natural approach to wellness, all of Dr. Doni’s remedies are easy to understand and incorporate into a daily routine. Let’s start with prevention:

1. Avoid Sugar & Alcohol:

The top two enemies to an invincible immune system are sugar and alcohol. Dr. Doni recommends avoiding or minimizing sugar and alcohol consumption, as they both lower your ability to fight off viruses. Even just eight tablespoons of sugar (as in two cans of soda), or fructose (such as in honey or 1/2 cup of orange juice) can lower your immune function for five hours after you consume it.

Sugar inhibits the white blood cells that fight off bacteria, leaving you vulnerable to infections. A similar thing happens with alcohol. When you drink three or more alcoholic drinks (wine, beer or liquor), your white blood cells are weaker and have a harder time fending off viruses and bacteria. So instead of reaching for orange juice when you are feeling under the weather, it is better to reach for water or tea and to take immune boosting herbs and nutrients.
