Cold and flu season is here!! Staying healthy doesn’t have to mean loading up on harsh chemicals or drying hand sanitizers. Nature has plenty of ways to keep you strong, support your immune system, and fight off germs — naturally.
Here are simple, proven tips to help you stay healthy all season long, featuring StayWell® Copper — the natural, chemical-free way to fight germs on the go.
· Wash Your Hands — and Add the Power of Antimicrobial Copper
Regular handwashing is your first line of defense against cold and flu germs. But what about when you’re out and don’t have access to soap and water?
That’s where StayWell® Copper comes in. Copper is a natural antimicrobial that kills 99.97% of bacteria and viruses — including those that cause colds and flu. Keep a StayWell® Copper Hand Roller or Halo Necklace with you to safely touch high-contact surfaces like elevator buttons, grocery checkouts, gas pumps, ATM screens, shopping carts, or door handles – any of those high touch places that never get cleaned properly or cleaned enough.
· Boost Your Immune System Naturally
A strong immune system starts with good nutrition. Eat foods rich in vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidants — think citrus fruits, kiwi, spinach, and almonds. Add garlic and ginger for their natural antiviral benefits and sip on immune-supporting herbal teas like echinacea or elderberry. Small changes in your diet can go a long way toward keeping you healthy.
· Prioritize Rest and Recovery
Sleep is when your body repairs and recharges. Aim for 7–8 hours each night to strengthen your immune response.
Set a regular bedtime, cut back on screens an hour before bed, and keep your room cool and calm to help you drift off easily.
· Reduce Stress Naturally
Stress takes a real toll on your immune system. Combat it naturally with daily relaxation techniques — deep breathing, yoga, journaling, or a short walk outside. Even 10 minutes of mindfulness can lower stress hormones and help your body fight off illness more effectively.
· Keep Your Indoor Air Fresh
When it’s cold outside, we spend more time indoors — and that can mean breathing in stale air. Open your windows for a few minutes each day, use a HEPA air purifier, and try diffusing essential oils like tea tree, eucalyptus, or peppermint to help clean the air and keep your home feeling fresh.
· Stay Hydrated
Water helps flush out toxins and keeps your body functioning at its best. Drink plenty of water or herbal tea and enjoy warm drinks like lemon water with honey to soothe your throat and support your immune system.
· Use Natural Germ Defense with StayWell® Copper
Protect yourself from everyday germs with StayWell® Copper products — from Hand Rollers to Phone Patches. Antimicrobial Copper is naturally self-sanitizing and never wears out or washes off, giving you continuous germ defense wherever you go. Perfect for travel, work, or everyday errands.
· Get Your Vitamin D
A little sunshine goes a long way! Just 15–20 minutes outdoors each day boosts your vitamin D levels, helps your mood, and supports immune health. If you’re not getting much sun, consider a vitamin D supplement.
· Eat Whole, Nutrient-Dense Foods
Fuel your body with real, whole foods — colorful fruits and veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats like avocados and olive oil. The more natural your meals, the stronger your body’s defenses will be.
· Skip the Harsh Chemicals
Many sanitizers and cleaning products are packed with alcohol and synthetic ingredients that can dry out your skin and disrupt your body’s natural balance.
StayWell® Copper is a 100% natural, chemical-free alternative that’s safe for everyone — even kids. Made in the USA from medical-grade antimicrobial copper, it’s the sustainable way to stay protected.
