Snow has already fallen in some parts of Minnesota, and winter will officially be here before we know it. Winter brings with it many things, including cold and flu season. As we prepare for what we expect to be another winter full of sickness and a possible COVID surge, it’s important that you work to boost your immunity ahead of time. In todays’ blog we share some tips for boosting your immune system before winter arrives.
How To Strengthen Your Immune System
Don’t spend time away from work or miss holiday events because you are dealing with a seasonal illness. Boost your immunity and help your body fight off any foreign invaders. Here are some simple tips to keep in mind to boost your immunity ahead of the winter season.
- Improve Your Diet – Your body gets a number of essential vitamins and minerals from the foods you consume. Improving your diet before and during the winter season can ensure that your immune system has access to the nutrients that help keep your body protected. Consume plenty of healthy fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.
- Consider Supplements – If you are struggling to get enough nutrients from natural sources, consider taking a supplement in the wintertime. Many older adults take Vitamin D supplements as summer fades, because our bodies can produce Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. As the days get shorter and colder, you have less access to natural Vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D helps your body regulate a number of essential functions, including our immune system. Consider supplements if you are lacking any nutrients.
- Connect With Hypercharge – Helping clients naturally improve their immune system is something we take pride in at Hypercharge Clinic.

Whether that’s through red light therapy, Class IV laser therapy, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy or one of our other rejuvenation techniques, we’re confident that we can find the right way to help your body naturally protect itself against foreign invaders.
- Seasonal Immunizations – Stay up to date on seasonal immunizations like your flu shot or a COVID-19 booster. Not only do these help keep you safe, but they can reduce disease transmission, helping to keep others healthy as well.
- Get Enough Sleep – Sleep is an important process that helps your body get rid of toxins and dead cells, and if your body can’t get into a healthy sleep rhythm, your immune system can suffer. Strive to get 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night, and if you’re struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, connect with the team at Hypercharge to learn about our sleep enhancement program.
- Quit Smoking – Smoking has been shown to suppress your immune system and make you more susceptible to a number of different health issues, like pneumonia and influenza. It can also limit the effectiveness of nutrients in your bloodstream, further affecting your immune system. Really try to kick the habit this year if you want to give your immune system a boost before winter.
