How Can You Boost Your Immune System & Maximise Your Defences?

There’s no denying the severity of our current situation and the unprecedented impact that #CoronaVirus has already had on every aspect of our lifestyles. In such uncertain times it’s hard to remain positive and see a way forward 😔 

But there are some positives to take from this experience and one of these is a greater awareness of our overall health and wellbeing. Whilst it is almost inevitable that many of us will get the virus, one thing we can influence is how well equipped our body is to fight it 💡 

Nutrition and lifestyle have a major impact on our immune system and how well we can fight off illness. Of course, with something like #COVID19 there is only so much you can do to protect yourself – but by eating well and giving your body the nutrients it needs to maintain an optimised immune system, you could fight off the illness sooner, recover quicker and help to minimise any lasting damage 🛡️ 

Pep & Lekker cofounders Susan and Juliette are two busy working mothers who have made it their mission to create a range of healthy snacks that will help to optimise nutrition without compromising on taste – helping to naturally energise your busy lifestyle and keep you satisfied! 😋 

They have carefully crafted all of their seed snacks from scratch and have chosen each of their 14 ingredients either for their nutritional credentials or taste. So, there are no fillers or nasties and you can be sure for a wholly positive snacking experience. 

“We wouldn't create anything that we wouldn't eat ourselves or make for our families.” 

-Susan Gafsen, Pep & Lekker Cofounder 

Just as they created their healthy snacks to help care for your body, Susan and Juliette would like to share with you a series of posts that will help you to care for your overall wellbeing in the coming months. So, over the next few weeks we will be sharing with you some top tips for equipping your immune system with all it needs to put up its best defences, starting with optimising your nutrition through wholesome real foods such as our seed based snacks. Follow us for daily advice to boost your immune system and promote overall health and wellbeing 🙌 

Stay safe and push for positivity, from all at Pep & Lekker 💚
