During these difficult times of COVID-19 and going towards Wintertime it is important to protect your immune system by;-
- Getting enough Sleep – Inadequate sleep may increase your risk of getting sick. Most adults should get at least 7 hours of sleep per night
- Eat more plant foods – plant foods contain antioxidants, fibre, and vitamin C, all of which may lower your susceptibility to illness
- Eat more healthy Fats – Healthy fats like olive oil and omega-3s are highly anti-inflammatory. Since chronic inflammation can suppress your immune system, these fats may naturally combat illnesses
- Limit sugar – Added sugars contribute significantly to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease, all of which can suppress your immune system. Lowering your sugar intake may decrease inflammation and your risk of these conditions
- Moderate exercise – Moderate exercise can reduce inflammation and promote the healthy turnover of immune cells. Jogging, biking, walking, swimming, and hiking are great options
- Stay hydrated – Given that dehydration can make you more susceptible to illness, be sure you’re drinking plenty of water each day
- Manage stress levels – Lowering your stress levels through meditation, yoga, exercise, and other practices can help keep your immune system functioning properly
- Supplement wisely – Though some supplements may fight viral infections, none have been proven to be effective against COVID-19. If you decide to supplement, make sure to purchase products that have been tested by a third party
- Have Acupuncture treatment – to help with all of the above your immune system and more
- Take Care, Stay Safe, Have Acupuncture!
