According to some estimates, over one million people will flock to DAO Labs' hometown of Minneapolis, MN for the big game this weekend, with over 65,000 people attending the game itself. Unfortunately, fans will also be arriving just as the State’s Health Department reports that flu activity remains widespread across the state (with Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler missing various media events on account of said illness). Welcome to Minnesota.
In recognition for the game-related festivities in our backyard, along with our mission of keeping people happy, balanced, and healthy, we’re passing along five suggestions to maintain health – especially during seasonal transitions when wellness routines may be challenged.
What you won’t find on this list (though you typically do on others) is “avoid large crowds” – that’s a challenge if you’ve paid $3,000 for a Super Bowl ticket or are off to a viewing party. Instead, we start with a recommendation of embracing a 700 year old Chinese formula that we can’t say enough good things about.
Five Ways to Keep Healthy During the Big Game
Embrace our Immunity Support formula, a great way to support your overall wellness, especially during busy seasons or when you're often around others. This formula is inspired by time-honored traditions in Chinese herbalism, which have long emphasized seasonal wellness and inner balance. Many of our customers use Immunity Support as part of their daily wellness routines to support a balanced immune system, especially during seasonal transitions. I’ve written about this formula’s strength many times, and I continue to be amazed by the results: When I need an extra wellness ritual during seasonal changes, I reach for Immunity Support. It’s a simple way I support my body and feel centered.
Wash your hands frequently and use alcohol-based hand sanitizers, whenever possible. Moreover, keep your hands away from you eyes, nose and mouth. Whether jumping between flights to, from or through MSP or throwing rampant high-fives during the Super Bowl, keep those hands washed!
Stay hydrated! (And yes—adding Immunity Support to your water is a smart move.) Keep those fluids flowing all season long—whether it’s flu season or Super Bowl weekend.
Keep rested and healthy. As we’ve talked about, the foundation of Chinese medicine is “balance”. Illness strikes when one becomes “imbalanced,” easily induced through late nights, an overabundance of unhealthy foods, or too much alcohol.
Remain active and energized this weekend, but most importantly, keep healthy. While it might be Super Bowl 52, it’s Chinese medicine 2,500 (as in the number of years behind this incredible practice) and remains as powerful as ever.
