Top tips to support Skin Health and your Immunity

• Look after yourself & each other – in a calm & collected way
• Get enough sleep, keep stress levels in check and continue to move your body
• Consume raw garlic and lots of it! Garlic is natures antimicrobial
• Eat probiotic foods (probiotic yoghurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha) or take a probiotic capsule
• Try not to overindulge in alcohol as tempting as this may be, as this impairs our immune function
• Concentrate on a diet full of fresh and nutritious foods where possible, with a focus on:
• Zinc: wheat germ, meats, liver, whole grains, pumpkin seeds, nuts
• Vitamin A: Liver, kumara, carrot, spinach, butter, eggs
• Vitamin C: blackcurrants, citrus fruits (oranges, limes and lemons), berries, kiwifruit, fejoas, tomatoes, broccoli, sprouts, red, yellow and green capsicum

Consider giving your skin a helping hand with these incredible products from Miss Vitality:

• Our naturopathic grade Good Oil rich in omegas. This is a bioavailable, high quality fish oil that doesn’t repeat or have the nasty after taste and it’s full of Omega’s 3. Essential fatty acids are a crucial part in helping to absorb essential immune boosting vitamins such at D, E, K, A that support skins inflammatory response, which is a positive aspect for clearer skin. Fatty acids can act as a natural moisturiser that revitalise dry skin from the inside out. Don’t miss out on yours.
• Combine this with Curcumin Forte which is a turmeric and Vitamin C blend – great for boosting your immune system over the coming months.
