Your Immune System Comes First

Your Immune System Comes First
The ending of summer is not too soon to start ramping up your immune system this fall!
Having a strong immune system helps your body fight against cancer, colds and flu and an array of autoimmune diseases.
I’m going to make this short and sweet, so you can get started!
  • Eat fruits and vegetables:  we had a lovely summer filled with an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. Hang onto some of this bounty to carry you through the winter by canning, freezing or drying. Love your family and yourself by providing homemade foods. They are the best and you know exactly what’s in it, right!? Or if you’re short on time; go organic, buy local, farm to table, great options, as well.
  • Exercise: great way to exercise is to start walking, start off slow…Don’t give up when the cold weather arrives, dress appropriately and keep on TRUCKIN’. Invite your kids or pets to join you on your walks. It instills a healthy lifestyle, for both.
  • Stress:  Let it go, let it go! Stress is like taking a brillo pad to your insides, so you can just imagine what it’s doing to your immune system! Self-talk works wonders depending on your level of stress. Exercise is the best aid when feeling overwhelmed.
  • Drink plenty of fresh water: Bottled water isn’t the best for a person but it better than some tap waters. If you can afford to have your water tested, the test results will give you a feel for the appropriate filtration system to purchase and install. I believe that to be your healthiest option.
  • Ban the processed foods from “entering your pantry!” Just don’t purchase it! There are so many delicious and fast ways to eat healthy without tearing open the cardboard/plastic box.  If you need your meals fast, then make it a healthy, simple meal or plan ahead and freeze your meals. I make a huge amount of steel cut oats, freeze them in a cupcake tin. After they are all frozen transfer them into a freezable container.  (see recipe on the next page)
  • Stay clear of cigarette smoke: Back away from the smoker.  Second and third hand smoke is toxic; there is no getting around it. * 2nd hand smoke is when you inhale the smoke of the smoker. *Third hand smoke is when they aren’t smoking, but the smoke has lingered on the smokers clothing or other items.
  • Drink lots of tea: Green tea (all varieties), Chamomile Tea and Protect Your Immune System tea are just few of the endless options.  Tea or herbal blends, are also just packed with antioxidants to boost your body’s defense!
  • Last but not least: Purchase your tea in loose leaf form. It tastes better and fresher. Tea can help you with your stress, help you get your daily intake of water, and boost your immune system. Perhaps the most important benefit is the antioxidants that teas provide as a gift to you!
I hope you found this information of value and that I have helped you and your family to be stronger, healthier and happier people!    


Make Ahead Steel Cut Oatmeal
  • Cook steel cut oatmeal as the package suggests, you can also purchase, steel cut oatmeal in bulk.
  • Spray cupcake/muffin tins with coconut spray or a healthy oil, lightly.
  • When oatmeal has cooked to your liking, fill each tin with oatmeal and freeze.
  • Make as many tins as you have oatmeal.  
  • After Oatmeal in tins has frozen, tap each tin lightly and the frozen oatmeal will be released.
  • Collect them all and put into a freezer container.
  • When it’s time for breakfast, collect your frozen steel cut oatmeal and heat as you desire.
  • Top with fruit, sweeten with honey and drowned with almond or rice milk,
tah dah healthy is served!

    The Tippin Tea Cup began over 6 years ago, brewed from my personal love of tasty tea that I developed from sheer interest. That love grew into a strong desire to learn more about the benefits and natural healing qualities that come from herbs, spices and their endless combinations to create high quality tea blends, undisturbed by fillers or artificial flavorings. 
    Over the years, The Tippin Tea Cup has given my family and I the great joy of meeting new people, hearing their stories and how tea becomes a daily ritual or a special gift for a lifelong friend. This is what excites me and keeps me striving to develop the best, mostly delicious tea I possibly can. ​
