We’re doing everything we can to keep our immunity in check.
✔sleep
✔meditation, deep breathing and adaptogens to help stay calm and lower stress response
✔probiotics for gut health (a huge part of our immune system is in our gut!)
✔staying hydrated
✔getting in regular movement
These are all key habits, but one less talked about and super-important practice for keeping your immune system — and all systems — in top form is getting lots of nutrients daily. If you’re like us and finding that being cooped up indoors and less active than usual, your body's craving less food, a great way to pack in those nutrients is to focus on nutrient-dense foods.
One of our absolute favorites is Moringa, and its earned the name “Miracle tree” for good reason: 🌿 It contains over 90 nutrients, including proteins, fats and fibre. In fact, it is so nutrient-dense that it’s been proposed as a food that can help alleviate malnutrition and hunger in third world countries.
🌿 Moringa leaves are made up of 25% protein and contain all 9 essential amino acids. They're also rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc, vitamin C, E and B-vitamins.
🌿 Moringa leaves are also rich in antioxidants, which have been shown to help protect against a number of metabolic diseases, heart disease and brain disorders, as they help the body fight cell damage caused by free radicals.
Moringa leaf powder is easy to add to smoothies and other foods, and is one of the stars of our FOCUS elixir blend 🌟💪🍵
