5 Ways to Prime Your Immune System
By Jayne Williams
It’s that time of year! Kids are back to school. many are back to work. gatherings are happening with holidays ahead ... ...AND with all of that comes many reasons to really focus oo our health.
Iknow the world has felt off.kilter with the addition of Covid and now with fall and winter germs trying to creep in. we have a1’1 even BIGGER reason to focus on our health and do everything we can to “assist” our body with building and strengthening our immunity.
So what can we do to “prime” our body against these unwanted germs and feel good during and after the holidays are over???
1. Build a Better Plate
Ideally. every meal that you consume should include protein, healthy fat, fiber, greens. and spices/ superfoods. This way of eating gives you All the feel· good components to assist your body with better fueling throughout the day. It also 3ssists your body in better digestion. a healthier gut. and elongates your blood s\1gar curve (keeping you away from sugary snacks that cause inc,eased inflammation. metabolic disease, and in-turn putting you at a higher risk for a weakened immune system}.
Try my warming winter side dish roasted pears and bfU!.sels (on page 68) and add in greens and healthy protein for a completely balanced meal.
2. For Goodness Sake, Hydrate!
It goes without question we need lots of water throughout the day, BUT we also need MINERALS, and superfood pdmers! Most of us are walking around mineral deficient. especially in essential minerals like sodium. magnesium. and potassium. It’s incredibly important to hydrate with “benefits” or ‘’EXTRAS’’ in your water or health tonics.
My favorite kind of water is water with benefits: You can use something as simple as a 32 oz mason jar ... fill with room temp water and a tablespoon of chia seeds {they are rich in omegas. protein. fiber. and magnesium ... which women tend to be especially low in), A pinch of sea salt - for mineral and electrolyte content - and 1/ 2 lemon to help detox and reset the kidneys.
3. Get Your Sleep
I know we hear this ALL.THE.TIME., but honestly, how many hours of quality sleep do you get a night? Do you even really know? If you aren’t sleeping well. why? Is it because you are eating too late? Eating sweets before bed ... spicy or heavy food maybe?
Not setting up your sleep environment in a way that invites “quality” sleep? Do you go to bed with electronics? Is it hot in your room? Is i t dark in your room? What are you doing to wind down. to promote better sleep at night? These are All questions you should be asking
yourself. If you are answering YES to any of these questions. It’s t ime to make a few changes! If you aren’t sleeping well, you are not allowing your body co do the repair, reset. and digestion work it needs to do overnight.
4. Get Regular Movement
WE. NEED. TO. MOVE! Ifs as simple as that! I’m not talking about turning over in the bed or going from sitting to standing at your desk. It needs to be an“active” movement.
Think walking at a good pace for 20 minutes or more (get that heart rate up). incorporating strength training into our weekly rout ine (weights are great. but you can also use bodyweight and even a chair), or doing interval training (one of my favorite workouts is a HIIT. high·intensicy interval training. workout)
5. Practice Mindfulness & Purposefully Breathe
Oid you know when we sleep our cortisol levels (an inflammation marker) naturally increase? If you are running around all day, not managing your stress levels, not taking time to breathe, not making space to remove tension you are holding in your body. then guess what????
You are actually increasing inflammation levels in your body. Don’t forget to breathe with porpose, even try a short 1-2 minute breathwork exercise.
BIGGEST takeaway??? What we need to do for our bodies is to stop focusing on boosting and focus more on priming so we ore well ahead of any curve that may be lying ahead this year and beyond.
The better you treat your body. the healthier you are, which means the better equipped you are for ALL you encounter. Here’s to priming and building resilience!

SEVEN ESSENTIALS FOR YOUR FLU SURVIVAL KIT
Creating a flu survival kit is essential to help you combat the flu effectively and speed up the recovery process. Here’s a carefully curated collection of essentials that will ensure you are prepared should you or your family fall ill. Let’s explore what you should have in your ultimate flu survival kit.
A THERMOMETER
A fever is a common symptom of the flu. Having a thermometer allows you to monitor your body temperature accurately. Sudden spikes or persistent high fever can indicate complications and may require medical attention. Therefore, it is always advisable to have a properly calibrated thermometer in your flu survival kit.
2
A SUITABLE COUGH SYRUP
A good cough syrup that can treat both wet and dry coughs is a great addition to any flu survival kit to help combat any cough that might come along. South Africa’s no.1 prescribed cough syrup, Prospan, is a clinically proven, effective, and safe cough treatment that helps to open airways, loosen and clear phlegm, and relieve coughs.
3
A GOOD MUCOLYTIC
When you develop the flu or a cold, having a good mucolytic like Amuco 600 on hand is essential. A mucolytic helps to thin and remove the excess mucus and phlegm that build up in the airways when you become ill. Amuco 600 is a once-daily effervescent tablet that breaks up the mucus and phlegm in your airways, making it thin and watery to help your body get rid of it easier, helping you get better quicker.
4
EFFECTIVE COLD OR FLU MEDICATION
Good cold and flu medication that helps treat the symptoms of the flu is always a good thing to have in your survival kit. These are specifically formulated to alleviate common symptoms such as congestion, sore throat, cough, and body aches. Sinupret is the no.1 prescribed colds, flu, and sinusitis treatment that comes in the form of a syrup for children and tablets for adults. Choose Sinupret Plus for fast effective relief from symptoms as well as treating the cause of acute colds, flu, and sinusitis.
5
FEVER MEDICATION AND PAIN RELIEVERS
Fever and body aches often accompany the flu. Stock your kit with fever-reducing medications like paracetamol. These not only alleviate discomfort but also help regulate body temperature, allowing you to rest and recover more comfortably.
6 7
HYDRATING BEVERAGES
Staying hydrated is crucial during the flu. Include electrolyte-rich beverages like sports drinks or oral rehydration solutions to replenish lost fluids and minerals. Herbal teas and warm broths can also soothe a sore throat and provide comfort.
AND DON’T FORGET THE TISSUES
One of the most important additions to your flu survival kit is a box of soft tissues to wipe those runny noses. Softer tissues are highly recommended as they are gentler on your nose. Tissues are a simple yet vital component of a flu survival kit, helping you manage symptoms, maintain hygiene, and prevent the spread of the virus to others.
Having a well-prepared flu survival kit can provide comfort and relief when you suddenly fall ill. By packing these essentials, you’re not just preparing for the flu, but you are also arming yourself with the tools to fight it effectively.

Electricity Saving Tips
There are several compelling reasons to use electricity wisely Not only will you save money on your electricity bill, you will assist in taking pressure in South Africa
What’s more, every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity saved means one less kilogram of carbon dioxide generated by a power station
There are so many ways one can reduce their electricity consumption and every little bit of saving helps

hot water and will save you money on your electricity bill
SOLAR
• Invest in a solar water heater It uses the sun to heat up your water saving you 25% or more on your electricity bill
• Install a solar photovoltaic system. These generate electricity from the sun’s energy
STOVES
• Use pressure cookers when preparing food that takes a long time to cook
• Match pots and pans to stove plates. Small pots on large plates waste electricity
• Do not use pots with distorted bottoms
• Keep oven doors closed until food is cooked
• Do not preheat the oven It isn’t necessary to preheat the oven except for food requiring high temperatures and slow cooking times
heat to warm up desserts, rolls or freshen crackers and cookies
• Glass and ceramic pans retain heat better than metal pans
• Use the self-cleaning feature only when it’s necessary Start the self-cleaning cycle right after cooking while the oven is still hot. Less energy will be required to reach cleaning temperature
• When you defrost food, leave it in the fridge overnight You’ll use less electricity than defrosting food in the microwave
• Use a microwave to cook small to medium quantities of food For larger portions of meat, it’s better to use a conventional oven or pressure cooker
REFRIGERATOR
• Don’t open the fridge door unnecessarily and make sure the seal is intact
• Let hot foods cool down before placing them in the refrigerator
• Defrost fridges and freezers regularly. A build-up of ice reduces operating
TUMBLE DRYERS
• Tumble dryers that operate with an electronic humidity control are the most
• Use correct temperature settings to minimise the amount of electricity used
• Remove excess water before putting clothes into the tumble dryer
• On sunny days, take the opportunity to dry your clothes outside
• Popping a dry towel in the tumble dryer with wet clothes reduces the length of time needed to dry washing
AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES
• A front loading washing machine uses less water and costs less to operate
• Use the warm water setting to cut down on electricity needed to heat the water
• Make sure you have a full load before washing
• Select the shortest possible washing programme
• Cold water detergents reduce electricity consumption
GENERAL
• Do not buy larger or more powerful appliances than are actually required
• Use the correct appliance for the job e.g. do not make toast on the stove or in the oven
• It is more economical to boil water in a kettle rather than in a pot on the stove
• Operate swimming pool filter pumps for minimum periods
• Paint the walls of your home in a light colour Dark colours tend to absorb light, requiring you to use more energy from light bulbs to power outages
• Standby power can account for 10% of an average household's annual electricity use. Unplug unused electronics and save $50 a year
