Brrr… It’s officially getting cold in Auckland and if you have kids going to daycare, you will understand how easy it is for them to catch viruses and bugs and bring them home. Countless times, my toddler Asher has caught the flu back and spread it to me and Ben. He had a runny nose pretty much all the time and it would take him at least 2-3 weeks to fully recover before he catches something again.
After a year of daycare, his immunity system has improved. He recovers faster and doesn’t catch a cold or flu quite as often. Despite that, earlier this year Asher caught a cold at daycare and has spread it onto my hubby, then onto me. As a breastfeeding mum, there are certain medication and remedies I cannot take, therefore it was such a long and hard battle for me to fight the virus. The worse thing is that I passed it onto my then-5-month-old baby which can be quite serious. Thank God, he only had about 2 weeks of runny and stuffy nose, but he recovered eventually.
GO Healthy supplements
Winter is quickly approaching and I cannot afford to be sick again. I’m returning to work in June part time which is just gonna make life just a bit busier and bring down my immunity. Thanks to the team at GO Healthy, they have stocked us up with supplements to boost our immunity and defence.
By carefully reading the labels, while lactation (breastfeeding), I am unable to take the GO VIR-DEFENCE or the GO OLIVE LEAF. Therefore, those are for my hubby and I will be taking the GO VITA-C and GO IMMUNE PROTECT.
GO VITA-C is a 500mg blackcurrant flavoured chewable Vitamin C tablet that has a low acidity formula. Taken once a day, Vitamin C is essential for boosting the health of the immune system and reducing the severity and duration of those winter ills and chills. With the low acidity formula, this doesn’t have that sour taste in the mouth and it tastes very yummy. Also comes in orange flavour. (50 tabs for $12.90, 100 tabs for $19.90, 200 tabs for $29.90).
