Kroma’s Guide to Nourishing Your Immune System

Your go-to ritual for rest, recovery, and real nourishment.

We’ve all been there, the scratchy throat that won’t quit, the foggy head, that moment when your body whispers (or screams), “Slow down.”

Getting sick is never fun, but it’s also your body’s way of demanding a deeper level of care. You’re under the weather and life’s not stopping. Work, plans, kids, it’s all still there. So instead of waiting it out, here’s how to get back on your feet fast, without pushing yourself to burnout. Whether you’re fighting off a cold, nursing a fever, or just run down from doing too much, this is your Kroma-approved guide to supporting your body gently, naturally, and effectively.

1. Nourish to Heal

When you’re under the weather, your body thrives on easy-to-digest, nutrient-rich foods that help restore strength. Simplifying what’s on your plate frees up energy for what matters most right now: immunity and recovery.

Try this:

• Sip warm Kroma Bone Broth (Chicken or Beef) throughout the day,  it’s gut-balancing (where your immunity lives), rich in minerals, and deeply hydrating.
  

• Stick with simple, healing meals like soups, stews, and porridges. Think: comfort food with benefits.
  

• Avoid heavy, processed foods that slow digestion and steal your energy.
  

• If you have an appetite, focus on colorful veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. If not, bone broth counts as a meal. Truly.

When in doubt, keep it warm, simple, and nourishing.

2. Hydration Is Medicine

Your body loses fluids faster when you are sick through sweating, fevers, faster breathing, and digestive issues. Rehydration is essential for recovery and detox. Aim to drink more than usual. For example, add one extra glass of water, about 8 oz, for every degree your body temperature is over 98.8 °F. Even a small fluid deficit of around 2% can slow your recovery.

Try this:

• Sip water consistently throughout the day instead of chugging.
  

• Add electrolytes for better absorption, our Cranberry Hydration Elixir is your best friend here.
  

• Mix in a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of sea salt if you’re craving something extra.
  

• Our 24k Chicken Bone Broth is also a nutrient-dense option, rich in protein, minerals, and collagen to support immunity, recovery, and overall wellness.
  

If you’re tired, dehydrated, and foggy,  it’s probably not “just” being sick. It’s your body begging for hydration.

3. Rest, Really Rest

We live in a culture that celebrates powering through, but real healing happens when you slow down. During rest and sleep, your body boosts production of immune cells that fight infection and repair tissue. Stress hormones drop, allowing your body to focus its energy on recovery. Giving yourself this downtime directly supports your immune system and helps you heal faster.

Try this:

• Cancel plans. Reschedule. The world will wait.
  

• Sleep as much as your body asks for. Rest isn’t lazy, it’s medicinal.
  

• Curl up with a blanket, a book, and some Kroma broth or tea.
  

• Use Calming Restore Magnesium before bed to support relaxation and deeper sleep.

When you rest, you’re not “doing nothing”, you’re giving your body the energy it needs to repair.

4. Support Your Immune System

Your immune system is working overtime, so give it the tools it needs to thrive.

• Load up on vitamin C and zinc, think citrus, bell peppers, and pumpkin seeds.
  

• Use warming spices like ginger, garlic, and turmeric, they’re natural immune boosters.
  

• Kroma’s Vitality Latte: Packed with adaptogens, antioxidants, and gentle warming spices, it supports immunity while giving you a nourishing boost.
  

• Super Core Colostrum: A concentrated source of immune-supporting proteins and antibodies to help your body defend, recover, and stay resilient.
  

• Spend a few minutes outside in the fresh air; sunlight helps regulate your immune system and mood.
  

• Keep stress low. Deep breathing, meditation, or gentle stretching can calm your nervous system and support your immunity.

5. Soothe Your Senses

Healing isn’t just physical, it’s emotional too. When you’re sick, comfort matters.

Try this:

• Diffuse eucalyptus or lavender to clear congestion and calm your mind.
  

• Take a warm bath with Epsom salts.
  

• Wrap yourself in your softest robe and watch something that makes you laugh (laughter is medicine).
  

• Light a candle, slow down, and remind yourself that this is temporary, and you’re doing a great job caring for yourself.

6. Ease Back In

Once you start feeling better, it’s tempting to jump right back into full-speed mode, but that’s how relapses happen.

Try this:

• Ease back into movement with walks, stretching, or gentle yoga.
  

• Keep your meals simple and hydrating for a few more days. Start to re-up your protein intake.
  

• Continue using Bone Broth and Hydration Elixir daily as you replenish hydration and rebuild strength.
  

• Notice how your body feels before saying “yes” to plans or workouts again.

While you’re in recovery, don’t overlook protein, it’s one of your body’s key tools for rebuilding and supporting immune strength. Grab your broth, your Super Core Colostrum, and any other Kroma products that help you recover, slip on your softest socks, and let Kroma take care of you while you take care of yourself. Here’s to healing fully, feeling deeply, and emerging stronger than before.
