A Mom With 3 Kids And A Passionate Traveler – But With Low Immunity
-Abirami Electrical engineer,Chennai
I live in Chennai, and the place I stay in is constantly engulfed with humidity and dust. I run an engineering industry, and traveling is my passion. But my low immunity levels have made visiting new places a major challenge.
During a holiday or vacation, I would often end up with a running nose and bouts of sneezing. Drinking water at a new place was another challenge – and my car would always have gallons of drinking water stocked just for me.
Even I would never wash my hair during my travel as I know I would soon be swept by sniffles and coughs.
But today, I am thankful to my Coach from the Holistic Wellness Club, who offered me the right guidance in changing my food habits and picking the right supplements to boost my immunity. This wonderful person has brought magic to my life – and has helped make my travel escapades more fun and memorable.
My Son’s Weak Immunity
– Vijayalakshmi Ravishankar, Teacher/Chennai
My son used to suffer from frequent colds and coughs and we were forced to make regular trips to his doctor. I also remember the many days he would have to miss school.
Doctors would say that his immunity was weak, but I always ensured he had plenty of milk and eggs, fruits, and vegetables.
My son was prescribed nebulization and strong antibiotics whenever I took him to the doctor. The obvious side effects made my son further weak. Later, things changed for the better when we got introduced to a person from the Holistic Wellness Club. We started understanding how to add value to our family’s health through the right diet and nutrition practices.
My son responded quickly, and his visits to the doctor declined. He is now very healthy and free from chronic infections – and turning into a fine young adult. I always am grateful to my friend from HWC.
-Mangala Shashidhar, IT Professional, Banglore
I am from Bangalore, which has 3 seasons a day for 10 months of the year. I have suffered from low immunity all my childhood without understanding why. Wearing a sweater daily, dealing with a runny nose and dry cough, and falling sick often were something I had accepted as part of my life.
When we were blessed with a child, I saw the same symptoms surface in her. I realized that I could not let her suffer the same way as I did and started looking for solutions. I was introduced to the Holistic Wellness Club by my friend. They suggested I follow the 4 pillars of health, namely exercise, proper nutrition, good sleep, and a positive mindset.
Though I was leading a reasonably disciplined life, I had a lot of misconceptions about foods and diet patterns. The introduction to the right food and proper plating patterns by the HWC enabled me to understand my food needs better. The result? I was able to overcome the challenges associated with my low immunity. I am now confident that I can continue to live healthily and also help my daughter do the same.
How I overcame my seasonal allergy
-Yogalakshmi, Homemaker
My immune system had weakened, and I suffered frequent colds. I was constantly looking for ways to fix my weak immune system. Frequent allergy attacks with a change in the season or my surroundings were becoming common in my life.
I tried many solutions from various medical practitioners. I also tried techniques to boost my immunity, but those became a joke in my family.
I met Akila Kannan, who has made a positive impact on my life. She exposed me to various food habits, workouts, and lifestyle changes – that have helped me regain my immunity and live a healthier life. Thank you, Akila.
I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis a few years ago. I would be sneezing throughout the day. Despite multiple visits to doctors, my common cold, fever, and seasonal allergies persisted. My immune system was in disarray. I knew that my friend, Rajeshwari, always used to recommend various ways to improve my immunity. I approached her reluctantly, but thanks to her suggestions and advice, my allergies have subsided and I am now living a happier, healthier life.
