Meaghan B. Murphy Instagram – It’s beginning to look a lot like…sick season! So I shared Fully Charged health tricks for making sure YOU stay merry + bright with my friends on Morning Buzz. First, increase your vitamin D intake. Regular sun exposure is the most natural way to get enough vitamin D, which is crucial for a healthy immune system—our bodies can’t fight germs as well when we’re D deficient. On these darker winter days, soaking up rays can be tough. Try adding more fatty fish to your diet (salmon) and taking a vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D is also essential for healthy teeth and gums. It helps your body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorous for bone and tooth mineralization. This fun fact is how I got Charley to up her D intake. She’s taking incredible care of her smile now that she’s using @sparkaligners to transform her teeth. We’re lucky to be partnering with @sparkaligners because they are more clear, more comfortable, and stain less than the leading aligner brand. Plus, they’re doctor-directed, which is crucial for lasting reliable results. 100% of patients surveyed, would recommend Spark to a friend. My daughter would also recommend them to a friend because of how seamlessly they fit into her life.

Proper rest comes with a ton of health benefits, including a boosted immune system. Try cutting off caffeine in the early afternoon. Set your thermostat to the ideal sleep temperature of 65 degrees and go for total darkness. Even ambient light can wreck your Zzzs.
