Three tips to naturally boost your immunity

Three tips to naturally boost your immunity

Winter has suddenly but surely arrived, and with the start of the festive season, there's nothing worse than a case of the winter cold & flu. If there was ever a year to focus on boosting your immunity, it's 2020! We are here to strp (see what we did there?) it down for you and share three easy tips to naturally boost your immune system and wellness this winter! Let's get to it.

1) Feed the body with nutritious (but delicious) foods!

Did you know that 80% of your body’s immune cells sit in your gut? Keeping your gut healthy helps your body fight away any nasties. Tigernuts are loaded with resistant starch, a fibre that acts as a prebiotic to enhance digestion and improve gut health. They are also rich in antioxidants and are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals: They have 3 times more potassium than the banana in your morning shake, 4 times more magnesium than your avocado on toast and are packed with more than enough Vitamin B, C and E to give your body the boost it needs! Swap your usual flour for Strp'd when baking your favourite festive treats for a healthy but equally yummy alternative!

2) Keep Active!

Whether it's your favourite Pilates class online or vacuuming the house, regular movement helps your body's immune system due to its anti-inflammatory effects! Plus, you can reward yourself with a yummy Strp'd Tigernut Flour treat after, that keeps you fuller for longer too! Why not try our Tigernut Protein Energy Balls. They are great for your gut as well!

3) Focus on Reducing Stress

Stress can cause the most harm to our mental and physical health and has shown to lower your immune system. Focus on making time for yourself and spending time on activities that are calming. Whether that's breathing exercises or a bubble bath, do what makes you happy! Our favourite stress-busting activity? Baking strp'd of course!

Happy holidays!
