Happily, we've got some fantastic tips for you today, including simple lifestyle hacks and ways to leverage the routine you already have to rev up your immunity engines. Did you know that you can even make your daily cup of coffee a greater immunity ally? Read on to discover all of this and more with 7 simple tips from the Sollo wellness team to help you sail through the coming winter season unscathed.

Immunity Tip #1: Be Physically Active

We all know that exercise is good for us, but you might not know that getting moving has been directly linked to enhanced immune performance. Fascinatingly, researchers have found that regular, moderate exercise can up-regulate the immune system, not only helping us to feel fitter as we enjoy a coffee-fuelled energy boost, but also to keep nasty winter bugs at bay.

Immunity Tip #2: Harness the Magic of Mushrooms Coffee

Did you know that a modest mushroom may just hold the key to helping you unlock your well-being potential? For centuries, people in Eastern Europe have been drinking teas and other beverages made from the chaga mushroom, or inonotus obliquus, for its numerous health benefits. Today, scientific research has revealed that these fabulous fungi can aid our bodies in regulating the production of cytokines, reducing chronic inflammation, improving insulin resistance, and even inhibiting the growth of tumors. That impressive roster of properties certainly makes it an immunity-boosting superhero!

Immunity Tip #3: Prioritize Quality Sleep

If you are inclined to burn the midnight oil and also experience more frequent illness in the winter months, your immune system might be feeling the strain. Countless studies have demonstrated how crucial good quality sleep is for general health and wellness. However, even more revealingly, research has shown specifically that those who don't get enough sleep each night are actually much more likely to catch a cold. Great ways to increase the quality of your shut-eye include reducing evening screen time, spending time outside in the morning, and drinking your favorite health-enhancing coffees earlier in the day.

Immunity Tip #4: Maintain a Healthy Weight

Thanks to media coverage during the pandemic, more and more people have come to realize that maintaining a healthy weight is important for optimal immunity. Studies show that obesity increases the risk not only of catching unwelcome viruses like Covid-19, but also of things like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The good news is that a healthy weight can be achieved and maintained through the combination of a balanced diet, stress management, staying active, and some nifty superfood support from Sollo!

Immunity Tip #5: Make Good Habits Part of Your Lifestyle

All of us know that there are certain things that we should strive to do in the name of our health, but it can feel overwhelming to try to introduce too many new lifestyle habits at once. The good news is that there is a smarter way to approach upping your wellness game. If you are wondering how to boost your immune system, there is wisdom in choosing tactics that can easily slide right into your daily routine.

Here at Sollo, we take immense pride in developing coffees and teas that not only taste great but also come with an array of added benefits. For example, our medium roast and dark roast Chaga Mushroom Coffee Pods for Keurig can be popped right into your trusty coffee machine as usual. However, rather than simply manifesting an antioxidant-rich caffeinated pick-me-up, this cup will offer an even broader spectrum of healthful nutrients and all the support that your immune system needs to stay stronger as the winter draws in.

Whatever your health-related objectives, Sollo has the perfect beverage to support your goals in our wide selection of teas and coffees. As the holiday season approaches too, we'll take this opportunity to wish you the happiest of taste buds and an abundance of vitality, ready to carry you right through the cold season!
