Boost your Immune System

A robust immune system is the key to staying healthy during these difficult times. While frequently washing your hands and face, and avoiding crowds help, it’s not the only way we should be dealing with this crisis.

Washing your hands will help eliminate bacteria; however, is it sustainable, and will it protect you from a severe virus? Or, is the washing exaggerated? Handwashing is a reactive approach; we all need to take a proactive approach and do what we can to strengthen our immune system.

A Healthy Immune System can and will Protect you from Illness.

Our immune system and its condition control how suscpetbale we are to illnes. If you have a compromised immune system, you will suffer from frequent illnesses. If, on the other hand, your immune system is strong, you can fend off most viruses yourself. Yes, that even means you could walk into a room with several Corona Virus-infected patients and not catch the virus yourself.

Maybe this a wake-up call and time for us to understand how our actions impact our health and lives?

We have the power to be resistant to illness by nourishing our bodies appropriately.

How can you do that?

Eliminate all sugars from your diet (yes, chocolate and cakes too)
Cut all processed foods
Radically reduce carb intake
Eat natural meat and vegetables
Cook at home
Get plenty of sleep
Rest more during the day
Slow life down
Meditate or go for walks to reduce your stress levels
Be active with low impact aerobic sporting activities
Drink lots of room temperature water with lemon juice
Drink hot tea or coffee (for antioxidants)

Why do I recommend this?

Sugar, carbs, and processed foods are all highly inflammatory and weaken our immune system, causing illness.

Consuming natural meats and vegetables strengthens our immune systems, and by cooking at home, you can make sure you are not eating any of the above!

Resting more, getting plenty of sleep, and slowing down, also support good health.

Meditation or any other form of calming practice and exercise reduces stress levels and helps build a healthy immune system.

Exercise, especially aerobic exercise boosts your immune system. Take long walks, bike rides or go swimming. These activities are natural and will support your health.

Hydration is always a problem. Most people don’t drink enough water, so please make an effort to double down on water consumption.

I drink lot’s of coffee or tea because I like it, and both are antioxidant-rich. Antioxidants clean your bloodstream and support health.

While I can’t guarantee it, I can say that if you take these measures, you will improve your resistance. By adjusting our diets and exercise routines, we can shield ourselves from most illnesses.
