Boosting Your Immunity Naturally
Thanks to Covid, the idea of naturally boosting your immunity has been a hot topic. While many are receiving vaccines at the moment, many are still interested in natural ways to stay healthy and to ensure their immune systems have a fighting chance against the common cold, or worse.
Holmes Place cares about our members and their families. We hosted a new company, SaysLife in our Oberrieden-Seepark club to give us some easy ways to nurture our mind and body through boosting our immunity with Bone Broth and Cold Water Therapy. CLICK HERE to see the whole video. We recommend you watch at least the end when our Club Manager, Tiffany Schmid, and SaysLife CEO, Jennifer Thamm, take a cold water dip in the lake! By the way, this was filmed in February, the day after it snowed!

And a freezing shower or ice bath? Are you kidding? – no we are not, and it actually feels great:
- Increases the number of white blood cells in the body, stimulating the immune response to help protect against infections and disease
- Stimulates circulation and can increase metabolism
- May relieve stress and depressive symptoms
- Sooths muscles and reduces inflamation, particularly after a hard workout.

In short, you can follow these 3 easy top tips suggested by Jennifer, mom of two toddlers and CEO of SaysLife:
- Start your morning shower warm, with your normal temperature. Then gradually turn it cold over the last minute and have it completely cold for the last 15 seconds. Build up to where you can do 45seconds of cold water at the very end. You will feel great! And ready to start the day (note to any post-partum moms, this technique really helps combat fatigue from late nights with babies).
- Find a buddy to go with you in the lake before you start getting ready for the day. Just 2 minutes is needed in the water to gain the benefits.
- Buy a pre-cooked whole chicken at the grocery store if you don’t have time to bake it yourself. Save all the bones, you do not need to clean them! And throw them in a big pot with water, garlic, onions and other dry herbs you like, salt and pepper corns. Turn it up to boil and then reduce to a low simmer. Leave it and forget it overnight or all day. Strain it and set in the refrigerator to save. It should be a gelatin form after chilling in the fridge. Freeze separate portions for future use in soups or to drink alone. Enjoy!
