Wellness Wednesday: Simple Ways To Protect Your Health During Flu Season

Flu season is here, and many families are feeling it. While we can’t control every exposure, we can strengthen our bodies through simple daily wellness habits.


At EBLUXE CARES, we believe prevention is powerful. Small, consistent choices help support immune health, protect energy levels, and create stronger communities.


Why Flu Season Hits Harder In Winter


During colder months:

    •    People spend more time indoors

    •    Dry air weakens respiratory defenses

    •    Vitamin D levels often decreases

    •    Stress and poor sleep increase


All of these factors can weaken the immune system — making prevention habits even more important.


5 Simple Flu Prevention Habits


  1. Stay Hydrated


Hydration supports circulation, nutrient delivery, and helps keep nasal passages moist — your body’s first line of defense.


Try this: Drink one full glass of water before each meal.


  1. Prioritize Sleep


Sleep is when your body repairs and strengthens immune response.


Goal: Aim for 7–9 hours when possible. Even small adjustments like earlier bedtimes help.


  1. Support Gut Health


A large portion of your immune system lives in the gut.


Include:

    •    Fiber-rich fruits and vegetables

    •    Fermented foods like yogurt or kefir

    •    Warm soups and broths


  1. Practice Simple Hygiene


Hand washing and limiting face touching remain effective ways to reduce exposure during peak flu season.


  1. Manage Stress


Chronic stress weakens immune function.


Try:

    •    Deep breathing

    •    Short walks

    •    Stretching

    •    Quiet moments of rest


Even 5 minutes of calm makes a difference.


EBLUXE CARES Ginger + Turmeric Wellness Shot


Natural ingredients like ginger and turmeric have long been used to support wellness and immune health. While they don’t replace medical treatment, they can be a helpful addition to your daily routine.


Ingredients (1 Serving):

    •    2 tablespoons freshly juiced ginger

    •    4 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice

    •    1 teaspoon raw honey

    •    ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1 teaspoon fresh grated turmeric)

    •    Pinch of black pepper


Directions:


Juice ginger and oranges fresh. Mix all ingredients well and drink immediately for best nutrient retention.


Why These Ingredients Matter

    •    Ginger: Supports circulation and immune response

    •    Turmeric: Known for anti-inflammatory properties

    •    Black Pepper: Helps improve turmeric absorption

    •    Raw Honey: Soothes the throat and supports wellness

    •    Orange Juice: Provides vitamin C for immune support


Want To Try It? Church Family Special

This is part of our commitment to community wellness and prevention education. Protecting your health isn’t just about avoiding illness — it’s about honoring your body and strengthening your foundation for long-term wellness.


When we choose prevention, we protect not only ourselves, but our families and communities.


Wellness Wednesday Challenge


Today’s gentle challenge:

  • Drink one extra glass of water, get 10 minutes of fresh air or sunlight, and try to go to bed 30 minutes earlier tonight.
