Lindsey Fitness News January 15th 2026 - Banish Those Sniffles!
Published: Thu, 01/15/26
Hello There,
I do hope that you yourself have managed to avoid the seasonal bugs,
sniffles and sneezes as we head through January. We know the beginning of the year often brings sniffles, low energy, and a sense that your immune system is still in hibernation? January always comes with big plans, but sometimes our bodies need just a little nudge in the right direction—especially after the festive season with sone nutritional support. If you want to show yourself some TLC and sail into 2026 feeling energised and resilient, this newsletter is just for you.
The You & Me...Lets Go 2026 participants continue forward , making
great strides on their transformations. They are working almost effortlessly it seems on their mindsets surrounding food and eating habits, and the changes already made as a result of that are already being appreciated by their bodies. Energy, motivation and the desire to succeed is being witnessed by the bucket load and shared in our group ZOOM classes and in the daily accountability posts. They are embracing the group exercise Walkfit and Hiit sessions which they get to use on
replay as often as they like to really boost energy, fitness and fat burning.
We are back every Sunday morning with the running club as we focus on
this years events calendar, starting this weekend with the Fred Hughes 10 Mile in St Albans.
Entry for the iconic Cancer Research UK Race for Life events 2026 are now OPEN. I am once again
invited to host the warm up at the Welwyn Hatfield event on Sunday 17th May at Stanborough Park. There is a 30% discount offer on entries until January 31st on the link in this newsletter/
Have a super, sniffle free week, immune boosting week!
Love Lindsey xxx

Immune-Boosting Foods for Winter Wellness
If you’re looking for a way to support your body through the colder months—beyond hand-washing and good sleep—start in
your kitchen. Some foods are real champions at supporting immune health, reducing inflammation, and helping your body bounce back if you do catch a cold.
Citrus Fruits (oranges, grapefruit, lemons) – Packed with vitamin C to help increase white blood cell count and fight infection. Add lemon to your water or enjoy a juicy snack mid-morning!
Berries (blueberries, strawberries) – Loaded with antioxidants that protect your cells and support immune function. Stir into yoghurt or porridge for a colourful boost.
Garlic – More than just a flavour
booster! Garlic has antimicrobial properties that can help your body fight off viruses and bacteria. Add a clove to your soups, stews, or roasted veggies.
Leafy Greens (spinach, kale, rocket) – Full of vitamins A, C, and K plus fibre and folate. Try whizzing a handful into your smoothie or sautéing with garlic and a
squeeze of lemon.
Yoghurt – Look for live or active cultures to support gut health (and remember, a healthy gut = a healthy immune system!). Choose plain, unsweetened versions and top with fruit, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Nuts & Seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds) – High in vitamin E and zinc, which are essential for healthy immune function. Keep a small bag handy for healthy snacking during your day.
Ginger &
Turmeric – Both have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Fresh ginger tea or a sprinkle of turmeric into your soups can help your immune system stay robust.
The key is variety—no one food is a magic bullet! Fill your week with a rainbow of whole foods, stay hydrated, and
listen to your body’s cues. Little changes can make a big difference over time
.
