Boost your immune system…


Eat warm foods

In Chinese medicine, our bodies are regarded as a microcosm of the environment (macrocosm).

Naturopath, Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine specialist Dr Arthur Setzer says, during winter, our bodies reflect the cold, damp weather with an increase in mucous, which creates a terrain for infections.

Eating warm foods and drinking heat-generating teas – such as ginger and cinnamon – help to maintain the body’s immune function.
