5 Ways to bolster both your immune system and beauty regime

1. Take in more turmeric

Most often used in cooking up wholesome meals, turmeric is packed full of curcumin. Studies have found that curcumin could bolster our immune systems, plus is it renowned for being an anti-inflammatory compound. 

Try Himalaya Joint & Immunity Wellness Turmeric 95 Capsules which contains a whopping 95% of curcuminoids, or Elixinol Turmeric CBD Capsules, which are chockful of health-enhancing actives like manganese, vitamin C and CBD powder to support the formation of collagen and connective tissue.

2. Try CBD oil

Cannabidiol or CBD oil is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant, which has taken the beauty industry by storm. And with good reason, too. Not only will CBD help to ease anxiety but it will also help to quench dehydrated skin types and soothe redness associated with inflammation. Drink an Extract CBD Immune Shot which contains vitamin C to give your immune system a boost.

3. Eat for immunity 

"Key to eating for immunity is to include a wide variety of foods," says Anja Smant, a dietitian at Medicross Springs. "Fruit and veggies provide fibre as well as antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E, beta-carotene, carotenoids, selenium and lycopene."

She recommends choosing different colours – red (tomatoes, peppers), green (spinach, cabbage), yellow/orange (pumpkin, carrots), purple (aubergine, blueberries) and white (onions, garlic). Also include oily fish and yoghurt containing live probiotic cultures in your diet.

4. Focus on good sleep

The health benefits of a good night's sleep are well-documented. Our bodies use our daily resting period to regenerate. So, enhance your beauty sleep by supplementing with a melatonin regulator like magnesium. 

Try Amipro Daily Magnesium Capsules that are designed to be easily absorbed by the body. Good Health Magnesium Sleep Support Capsules with California poppy, passion flower and ashwagandha also supports deep and restful sleep.

5. Much more macha 

Have you ever noticed how health fanatics will choose a cup of green tea over a coffee? Green tea, and more specifically matcha, contains catechins, a natural antioxidant that fights off the free radicals that cause early signs of ageing. 

So pop on a Teology Firming Matcha Tea Superfood Mask and allow the tea infusion to hydrate and nourish skin, while sipping on an antioxidant- and mineral-rich The Harvest Table Collagen Matcha Latte.
