Ocean Spray

It's inevitable when the classrooms fill up that a new set of viruses starts 'doing the rounds' and adopting the "catch it, bin it, kill it" message can really help stop germs spreading.

But did you know that what you eat can help play a role in building a healthy immune system, giving you a fighting chance to ward off those bugs?

Here's some simple steps you can take which may help boost your immunity, as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Strive for Five
It’s easy to enjoy salads and fresh fruit in the summer, but as the autumn comes round, it’s just as important to eat well. Remember that frozen, tinned, dried or juiced fruit and veg can all help count towards your 5 a Day – and they taste great too.

A drink to your health
Drinking around 1.5l of water a day is a great way to keep hydrated. And Ocean Spray cranberry is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and natural compounds which can help protect your body inside.

Get a move on!
Exercise is a great way to help reduce stress and keep your body functioning at its best. And it doesn’t mean hours down at the gym or marathon training! 30 minutes of activity every day, like gardening, walking or swimming, is a great way to enjoy the benefits.
