Before you get too lax with your immune-boosting regime, take a look at this list and you might find that your system needs more support than you realise! These are the top tell-tale signs of low immunity, and great \u201cearly warning\u201d signals to help you get on top of those nasty viruses and bugs before they start.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Fatigue<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We all expect to feel sleepier during the winter months; but if you\u2019re experiencing sudden, excessive fatigue it\u2019s a definite early warning sign that your body is preparing to fight a virus.<\/p>\n<p>That feeling of fatigue occurs because your\u00a0immune system\u00a0has to put so much of its energy into fighting the \u2018flu. White blood cells are diverted from their usual job (maintaining healthy muscle fibres and joints), and sent to fight the virus instead; this means that you lose strength in your muscles and joints, and start feeling the weakness, achiness and fatigue that comes with \u2018flu.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Dry Nose<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You might think a runny nose is the first sign of a cold, but it\u2019s actually a dry itchy nose you should be worried about. As icky as it might sound, the mucus in your nose is a great line of defense against bugs and germs. That\u2019s because it traps airborne viruses trying to enter your body, and also helps to expel them out of the body (via sneezing or a running nose). Dry nasal passages leave you way more susceptible to catching a cold or \u2018flu.<\/p>\n<p>To soothe and hydrate dry nasal passages, use a natural nasal spray or neti pot. You can also prevent your nose from drying out by investing in a humidifier, which will balance the moisture in the air around you \u2013 while also lowering the levels of dust, allergens and germs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16300\" style=\"width: 228px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/MeacoMist-Standard-Ultrasonic-Humidifier-p-5234.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16300\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/natural-organic-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/meaco-humidifier-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"MeacoMist Standard Ultrasonic Humidifier\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/meaco-humidifier-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/meaco-humidifier-610x839.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/meaco-humidifier.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/MeacoMist-Standard-Ultrasonic-Humidifier-p-5234.html\" target=\"_blank\">MeacoMist Standard Ultrasonic Humidifier<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_16299\" style=\"width: 228px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Silverlab-Colloidal-Silver-Nasal-Spray-p-4562.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16299\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16299\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/natural-organic-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/silverlab-nasal-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"Silverlab Colloidal Silver Nasal Spray\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/silverlab-nasal-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/silverlab-nasal-610x839.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/silverlab-nasal.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Silverlab-Colloidal-Silver-Nasal-Spray-p-4562.html\" target=\"_blank\">Silverlab Colloidal Silver Nasal Spray<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_16298\" style=\"width: 228px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Xlear-Sinus-Care-Netipot-Kit-p-4834.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16298\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16298\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/natural-organic-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/xlear-neti-pot-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"Xlear Sinus Care Netipot\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/xlear-neti-pot-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/xlear-neti-pot-610x839.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/xlear-neti-pot.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Xlear-Sinus-Care-Netipot-Kit-p-4834.html\" target=\"_blank\">Xlear Sinus Care Netipot<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dark Urine<\/h2>\n<p>Another icky topic, but an important one \u2013 the less hydrated your body is, the darker yellow your urine will be.

The condition of your skin serves as a strong indicator of your body\u2019s overall health. A weakened immune system makes it easier for environmental toxins, germs and foreign bodies \u00a0to breach your skin\u2019s protective barrier, causing dryness and itching, irritation, even infection and discoloration.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced immunity also means a reduced ability to heal, and so when your immune system is low you\u2019ll find that bruises, blemishes, cuts and scrapes can take much longer than usual to heal.\u00a0A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Omegas-p-1-c-503.html\" target=\"_blank\">natural omega supplement<\/a> can help you combat this, as it fights inflammation throughout the body and promotes healthy, radiant skin from the inside out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Excess Weight &amp; A Sweet Tooth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re not talking about those little \u201clove handles\u201d we all pick up from winter snacking, but rather about significant excess weight that puts added strain on your system. Those extra pounds aren\u2019t just bad for your heart; they\u2019re bad for your immunity too.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown that excess body fat, especially abdominal fat, triggers the production of &#8220;pro-inflammatory&#8221; immune cells, which circulate in the blood and promote inflammation in the body. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/natural-organic-blog\/2015\/04\/natural-wellbeing\/top-natural-anti-inflammatory-foods-add-diet\" target=\"_blank\">Chronic inflammation is one of the leading causes of disease<\/a>, and has a far-reaching impact on your wellbeing. The good news is, losing just 10 pounds (about 4.5kg) can work wonders for rebalancing an off-kilter immune system.<\/p>\n<p>One more important fact; if it\u2019s a sweet tooth that\u2019s causing you to gain that extra weight, you may be extra-vulnerable to infection. The structure of glucose and vitamin C is so similar, that excessive sugar in your body actually starts competing against the vitamin C in your system, making it a big immune-lowering culprit. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition recently\u00a0found that just 100g of the sweet stuff can lower ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria for up to 5 hours after consumption.\u00a0So in short, making that sugar-free switch won\u2019t just help you shed the unwanted kilos, it will get your \u2018flu-fighting capabilities back on track too!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16301\" style=\"width: 228px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Sugar-Free-p-1-c-516.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16301\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16301\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/natural-organic-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sugar-free-snacks-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sugar-Free Snacks &amp; Sweets\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sugar-free-snacks-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sugar-free-snacks-610x839.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sugar-free-snacks.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Sugar-Free-p-1-c-516.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sugar-Free Snacks &amp; Sweets<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_16302\" style=\"width: 228px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Weight-Loss-p-1-c-469.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16302\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16302\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/natural-organic-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/natural-weight-loss-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"Natural Weight Loss Supplements\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/natural-weight-loss-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/natural-weight-loss-610x839.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/natural-weight-loss.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Weight-Loss-p-1-c-469.html\" target=\"_blank\">Natural Weight Loss Supplements<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few simple tips that can really empower you to take control of your wellness this &#8216;flu season; because you deserve to feel your best every day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you\u2019ve survived \u2018flu season this far without a sniffle, and you\u2019re feeling like you might not need that vitamin C supplement after all?
