Stay Strong This Cold and Flu Season: Tips to Support Your Immune System
When cold and flu season arrives, many of us brace ourselves for sniffles, sore throats, and days stuck in bed. However, your immune system is your body’s best line of defense and there are proactive steps you can take to keep it strong.
At Rooted IV & Wellness, we specialize in supporting your health year-round, but especially when germs are at their peak. From hydration to nutrient support, here are some of the best ways to stay well this cold and flu season.
1. Stay Hydrated
It might sound simple, but proper hydration is critical for immune health. Water helps flush toxins, carry nutrients to your cells, and keep your mucous membranes (your body’s natural barrier against germs) strong.
Tip: If plain water feels boring, try herbal teas or add a splash of lemon for an extra dose of vitamin C.
2. Prioritize Sleep
Your immune system does much of its repair work while you sleep. Skimping on rest makes your body more vulnerable to infection and makes recovery slower if you do get sick. Aim for 7–9 hours each night and create a calming bedtime routine to support deep rest.
3. Eat Immune-Boosting Foods
Fill your plate with colorful fruits, vegetables, and whole foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidants play a key role in protecting your body against illness. Think oranges, bell peppers, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds.
4. Support Your Body with IV Therapy
When you’re already feeling rundown, your body may not absorb nutrients efficiently through digestion. That’s where IV therapy comes in.
Our Immunity Blend IV delivers hydration, vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, and zinc directly into your bloodstream for faster absorption and results you can feel. Many clients notice increased energy, clearer focus, and improved resilience after just one session.
Add-on options like glutathione and Vitamin B-12 can provide an extra layer of immune protection during peak cold and flu season.
5. Try Nutrient Injections for a Quick Boost
Short on time? Vitamin and nutrient injections are a simple, powerful way to give your immune system an edge. Options like:
Vitamin B12 injections support energy and red blood cell production
Vitamin D injections boost immune defense during darker winter months
Glutathione injections helps your body fight oxidative stress
NAD+ injections improves immune function and decreased inflammatory response
These quick treatments are perfect for busy schedules and can be added to your regular wellness routine.
6. Manage Stress
Chronic stress weakens the immune system, making you more susceptible to illness. Incorporating practices like meditation, deep breathing, gentle exercise, or even a walk outside can lower stress and give your body more capacity to fight germs.
7. Don’t Wait Until You’re Sick
One of the biggest mistakes we see is waiting until symptoms hit to take action. Immune support works best when it’s consistent.
With our IV therapy memberships, you can keep your body topped up with hydration and nutrients each month so you stay strong before, during, and after cold and flu season.
Cold and flu season doesn’t have to knock you down. By prioritizing hydration, nutrition, rest, and proactive care like IV therapy, you can keep your immune system resilient and your energy high.
At Rooted IV & Wellness, we’re here to support your health every step of the way so you can spend more time living and less time sniffling.
