It’s that time of year again: cold, flu, and low-immune system time. Even people with the healthiest diets can fall victim to sickness. Here are a few foods to help you recover faster and feel better when you are under the weather.

1. Liquids: Lots of liquids! You may not feel like eating solid foods, but you need to make sure you are taking in a lot of fluids. Teas like ginger and peppermint tea and ginger ale are great if you have an upset stomach, and hot liquids such as tea with lemon help with a stuffy nose. Green tea with honey also supports your immune system and coats a sore throat.


2. Yogurt: Studies have shown that the probiotics in yogurt shorten colds and the flu by almost two days!


3. Citrus fruits: Oranges, grapefruits, lemons and limes contain flavonoids which increase immune system activity.


4. Protein: Easily digestible proteins like eggs or yogurt are great for your body when you are sick because protein strengthens your body. These two options are also really easy to make so you don’t have to spend much energy on them.


5. Glutathione: It is a long word, but it is a powerful antioxidant that fights infection. It is found in watermelon, broccoli, collard greens, kale, and cabbage.

Being sick is the worst, so that is why God gave us foods to help us recover and feel better!

XOXO, Chels

DIY Shower Soothers

DIY Shower Soothers
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/chelsea-crockett-diy-shower-soothers.jpg

During the winter months, sinus infections wreak havoc on so many of us! Stuffy noses are the absolute worst! If you are looking for a way to breathe easier and get some sweet relief, try out these homemade shower soothers! You put them in the shower with you while you bathe and they help clear you right up! Plus, they are much better for you than the store bought ones. And much cheaper!

Ingredients:

• About 1 1/2 cups of baking soda
• About 2/3 cup of water
• Essential Oils: Rosemary, Lavender and Eucalyptus

Before getting started, preheat your oven to 350F. Add the baking soda to a mixing bowl and slowly add in the water. Your mixture should look a little like pancake batter! Stir together, then scoop your mixture into muffin tins that have paper muffin liners in them, one tablespoon per muffin hole. Place the muffin tin in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove them. Add a few drops of each essential oil to the discs and let them cool completely. Once they have cooled, pop them out of the muffin tin and store them in a plastic bag. Toss one in the shower next time you are feeling stuffy and prepare to be amazed!

XOXO, Chels

Natural Allergy Remedies

Natural Allergy Remedies
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Chelsea-Crockett-Natural-Allergy-Remedies.jpg

Allergies are back at it and there is no way of stopping them.  When they hit you, they hit you.  You know when you wake up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose that you are going to need to stock up on some Advil and Benadryl!  Here are a few remedies to help out with your scratchy throat and stuffed up nose.

• Take a glass of warm water and add about a teaspoon of salt to it. Stir it up and gurgle it in the back of your throat from about 10 seconds. Repeat as many times as you want! I suggest up to four or five times throughout the night.


• Did you know lemons and limes can actually play a part in healing your throat? We all know that warm tea can soothe an itchy throat, but adding a few drops of lime or lemon juice helps a ton also! (P.S. Don’t be shy on adding a teaspoon of honey to your cup of tea either. It works just as well!)


• For the dare devils out there, eat wasabi! Wasabi is a Japanese condiment that is extremely hot! How does it help? It completely cleans out your sinuses and puts your tear ducts into action. One of the only tolerable ways to ingest this is to add it to your favorite sushi. Good luck!


• Lastly, take a hot shower. The steam helps your stuffed up nose a tremendous amount. Since the drainage in your nose is often the cause of a scratchy throat, the steam will help both your nose and throat.

Fight back your allergies this season!  I hope this gives you a few ideas on how to do just that.

Stray Away from Sickness!

Stray Away from Sickness!
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Chelsea-Crockett-sickness.jpg

            Transitioning from winter to summer can be tough on our bodies.  Mother Nature can’t make up her mind, leaving us with a mix of cold and hot days.  Unfortunately, it becomes the prime time to be sick.  So what if you have a big event coming up or a vacation that you just can’t get sick for?!  No worries, there are plenty of ways to beat sickness.  Check it out!

            The most obvious ways not to get sick are to drink lots of water, get enough sleep at night, and stay away from sick people; but we already knew that, right?  I hope you’re doing those already!  For additional immune system support, exercising is the way to go!  It not only works your body, but it’s great for fighting away infection by strengthening the immune system.  Once you’re done with your workout, it’s time to load up on vitamin C!  This can be done in many ways: orange juice, vitamin C drink packets/vitamins, an orange, or even fruit snacks.  The vitamin C will start working right away.  Another way to fight infection is to stray away from toughing your face.  Your hands carry a lot of bacteria and by toughing places like your eyes and mouth, you’re more likely to get sick.

Staying away from sickness is easier than you’d think!  Next time you want to skip that morning workout or apply lip balm with your finger, remember…DON’T!

Love,

Chelsea
