🦠 My top tips to boost immunity 🦠
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
1️⃣MOVE YOUR BODY! 🏃🏻♀️(Exercise increases antibodies and white blood cell count - white blood cells are the body’s immune system cells that fight disease...exercise also pumps our lymphatic system which removes waste like bacteria, viruses, toxins and abnormal cells.
2️⃣EATING AS MANY NUTRIENTS AS POSSIBLE! 🍏(Don’t count calories, count nutrients).
3️⃣FOCUS ON YOUR GUT HEALTH!! 🐛(You want to build a colony of good guys because inside the gut are about 100 trillion live microorganisms that promote normal GI function, protect the body from infection. In fact, they comprise more than 75% of the immune system).
4️⃣PHYSICAL TOUCH. 🐶 💆🏻♀️ (Physical touch is known to improve the function of your immune system as well as reduce diseases. One study on women found that receiving more hugs from their partners led to lower heart rates and blood pressure).
5️⃣DRINKING FILTERED/ALKALINE WATER!! 💦 (Water removes toxins from our body).
6️⃣SLEEP!! 😴 (The hours of 10pm-2am are researched to be our most regenerative hours)
7️⃣GETTING ADEQUATE SUN EXPOSURE 🌞 (Skin needs to be bare for the D to pe*****te!! VIT D is great for our mental health but we also need it to absorb calcium for strong bones, it’s also been shown that people with higher amounts of VIT D have a lower risk of disease).
8️⃣DEEP BREATHING. 😤🌬(Taking daily conscious, mindful deep breaths helps to balance the nervous system, reinforces the respiratory system, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, and can even help activate the lymphatic system, which plays a major role in immune function. Practise 3 mins daily focusing on 5second inhales and exhales each).
9️⃣Filling your days with HIGH PRIORITY ACTIONS. 👩🏻💻🌱(Stay true to your values and purpose, to transform your life you must put enough time into a higher form of addiction which will strengthen you and make your life more satisfying).
🔟IDENTIFY THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN 🤵🏽🦸🏻♂️☯️ (identify duality in all things that happen to us and in the world, there are many hidden upsides to any of the so-called downsides...eg: this time is so uncertain financially but the other side of the coin is that we get to have time to reevaluate what it is that truly matters to us).
