Stay in the Game: Boosting your Immune System so your New Year Resolutions Actually Stick

Cold and flu season has a way of crashing right into new year energy—one week you are pumped about “three runs a week” or “lift twice, walk daily,” and the next you are buried in tissues wondering where that motivation went. The goal is not perfection; it is stacking the odds in your favor so you can actually stick with the resolutions you cared enough to write down in the first place. That is where little daily anchors like BASE Greens and Lytes come in: they quietly cover some gaps so your body has a better shot at staying in the game instead of getting sidelined every time someone coughs near your desk.

Think of BASE Greens as the “veggies you meant to eat” but in a scoop you can actually remember. It is loaded with things like broccoli, kale, carrots, spinach, alfalfa, blueberries, spirulina, kelp, flaxseed, lutein, and lycopene, which means you are getting vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids that help your immune system do its job instead of running on fumes. You are not going to out-supplement bad sleep and zero movement, but adding Greens to water or a smoothie is a simple way to bring in more of the nutrients tied to immune health and recovery when winter meals are not exactly “textbook perfect.”

Then there is Lytes, which plays cleanup for all the days you realize at 3 p.m. that you have mostly “hydrated” with coffee. BASE Lytes brings in sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium in a low-sugar formula to support fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function, so your body is not trying to train hard or fight off a bug while running dry on electrolytes. Better hydration and electrolyte balance help you feel more human during runs, rides, lifts, and long workdays, which makes it a lot easier to keep saying “yes” to those resolutions instead of bailing because you are exhausted, crampy, or just run down.

So if your goals for the year look like “stay healthy enough to train,” “hit that spring race feeling prepared,” or simply “have more good-energy days than wiped-out ones,” building a small routine around Greens and Lytes is an easy place to start. You handle the habits—lacing up, getting to the gym, choosing bed over one more episode—and let those daily scoops and sips support your immune system and recovery in the background so you can actually see what happens when you stick with it for a full season.
