Vitamin D Reduces the Risk of Respiratory Infections

Did you know that vitamin D can protect you from acute respiratory track infections; like the common cold? An  article I read said a test was performed on 11,000 people with respiratory infections. They were given oral vitamin d3 and their baseline vitamin D levels were recorded. Research discovered that vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of respiratory track infections. The amount of vitamin D given was around 880 IU to 5,000 IU.

Below are five ways to prevent & treat respiratory track infections. 

1. Saline & Salt

2.  Using a humidifier at bedtime to keep the dyer air moist and using steam showers can increase moisture in your nasal passages.

3. Aromatherapy – is great for opening up the sinus passages. Trying adding, lavender, pine, Orange, frankinsence, Tea Tree, Clove and even Eucalyptus to baths.

4.   The right nutrition can certainly help prevent sinus and upper respiratory mucus from developing into a full blown inflammatory infection. Try removing dairy from the diet, which can reduce infections and mucus disruptions.  Most importantly, your immune system will love your for it.  Add more bone broths, vegetables, turmeric, ginger and garlic.

5. Homeopathy is amazing to use if you have a respiratory track infection.  Homeopathy works similar to over the counter medications and antibiotics.

Have you ever eaten so much that you feel like you Have you ever eaten so much that you feel like you can’t move? 
Think for a minute what led you to go for the food in that moment. 
Were you bored ? 
Tired ? 
Sad? 
Angry ?

Often times we try to soothe and numb the feelings with FOOD. 
Next we need to beat ourselves up for eating too much. So we try to think of a way to change the cycle. Maybe a diet?

What if you tried a new approach ?
What if you learned new ways to support yourself emotionally to not feel the need to numb with food?

♥️Every trial we endure is meant to be a lesso ♥️Every trial we endure is meant to be a lesson to build our perseverance and faith. ♥️How you choose to handle those trials speaks volumes about your past ♥️ Do you panic? Do you despair? Or do you pray in faith knowing all things work together for good for those who love God? ♥️ We are all human. We all experience heartache, disappointment and failure. ♥️ We all make mistakes and fall short of God’s glory. Choose to handle the valley with grace. ♥️ Rather than asking, “why is this happening to me?” Ask, “What should I be learning?” ♥️ I’m no stranger to hard times and heartbreak. I’ve walked many valleys wondering why I have to endure yet another trial. ♥️But as I look back on my life, I realize how strong I’ve become because of those same valleys. ♥️ God isn’t deaf to your prayers. He hears you. Sometimes in His perfect love, He will remain silent for a moment so that you can learn. ♥️ Happy Sunday
