Autumn is here! A distinctive autumn in a distinctive year. A time for reunions for many, and new starts for others, the resumption of activity is often a source of stress and fatigue. The advice below may help you to strengthen the natural defences of your body to help you to calmly get through this busy period.
Plants and essential oils help to reinforce the body's nature defences
A body with a well prepared natural defence mechanism is stronger for fighting against pathogens.
Consequently, andrographis, a plant that is beneficial for the upper respiratory tract is recommended at the first signs of respiratory problems. When combining elderberry, recognised for its soothing effects since ancient times, it is an ideal complementary duo for supporting your natural defences, particularly in the upper respiratory tract.
Grapefruit seed, with a high concentration of flavonoids with antibacterial properties, is another popular ally for stimulating our immune defences
Hive products with boosting power
Honey, propolis, pollen and royal jelly, each of the latter is a valuable aid for boosting weakened bodies.
Propolis, is known for being a powerful natural antiseptic.
Pollen is a type of super food containing vitamins and minerals and proteins. It therefore has a rare but still useful nutritional density.
Royal jelly is a natural booster for the body which helps to combat fatigue for recovering quickly after an illness or infection.
Marine magnesium and vitamins C and D for combating fatigue and stress
When your eating habits are a little more restricted than usual, don’t forget vitamins and minerals, they are essential for keeping you in good shape!
They perform vital functions in all of the biochemical processes of the body by regulating the metabolism and facilitating the release of energy.
Marine magnesium, obtained through the concentration of purified sea water, helps to combat fatigue and promotes sleep which can sometimes be difficult when you exercise less.
As regards vitamins C and D, while the first is mainly known for helping to reduce fatigue and contributing to the body’s defences, the second contributes to maintaining muscular and immune functions.
