During this time of uncertainty, when our health becomes our main concern, there is really only one thing you can do to calm your nerves and that is to take care of yourself and put your needs first.

I know this can be a difficult adjustment for many and especially for those of you out there who care for others and have very giving/generous natures. It comes down to the "others first, self last" mentality which we need to turn on its head right now.

Your immune system is your best line of defense against any illness, not just covid-19. That being said, not everyone knows how to best care for and boost their immune systems. The things we do every day can either promote a very healthy/functional immune system or set us up for illness/poor health in the long run.

Major contributors to the health of your immune system include:

• Getting enough restful sleep
• Reducing your stress levels
• Eating healthy/whole foods
• Proper water intake
• Daily exercise

With so many people being forced to work from home, we now have a unique opportunity to reassess our habits and routines. Taking time for ourselves, where we couldn't before, is a chance to help our bodies return to balance after years of the ups and downs of the modern human experience.

This brings me to Four Sigmatic and something special they have to offer that, in addition to the major contributors I've mentioned above, has the potential to help bring your immune system into balance.

Chaga mushrooms support immune function, and have been harvested for centuries for use in traditional medicines. Four Sigmatic's Chaga Elixir has a rich, earthy flavor, and is a good alternative or addition to your existing coffee routine.

Four Sigmatic also offers an Organic Mushroom Ground Coffee Mix which has 500 mg Lion’s Mane and wild-crafted Chaga.

Of all of Four Sigmatics wonderful products, my personal favourite is the Mushroom Hot Cacao with Reishi. I have been enjoying that one for the last two years and though it doesn't contain the chaga mushroom benefits, it will still provide you with a relaxing way to unwind at the end of your day.

I like to enjoy a cup in the tub with some mermaid bath water and a good book.

Who else hates the bitter taste of apple cider vinegar? Show of fins?

I have never been a fan, but with the long list of health benefits it is hard to deny that a little ACV could do us all some good.

Goli Nutrition has very kindly reached out to me and offered a solution to my ACV woes!

They have created the world's first tasty apple cider vinegar GUMMY!

These delicious little gummies contain all of the nutritional/health benefits of traditional ACV without the horrendous taste. I have already tasted them myself and I am stunned at how good they actually are! They have a lovely sweet green-apple flavour without any of that awful vinegar aftertaste.

​Absolutely delicious!

In addition to being oh-so-yummy, these gummies are also free from corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup which was so important for me to see. They also contain no artificial sweeteners, flavours, GMOs, fillers, or preservatives.

Goli has also kindly provided me with a 5% off promotional code for my fishes to use! The code is vanmermaid and it may be redeemed over at: ​https://ca.goli.com/ or feel free to use the direct link here: https://go.goli.com/vanmermaid

Thank you so much Goli Nutrition for reaching out to me and I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing how this tasty new product will help me on my journey to living my best mermaid life!
