Nobody likes getting sick, and being under the weather is both inconvenient and without prejudice. Those nasty viruses and bacteria which have been on earth for a long time have only gotten stronger and are constantly evolving with each day. They are a constant threat to everyone’s health and as we get older, our immune system needs help to stay strong to defeat these germs on a daily basis. The key is to build a strong defense and to make sure you have the ultimate force field.
Make these things I have listed a part of your everyday life so you can build and maintain a strong immune system and kick those viruses to the curb.
1.) Wash those hands – Always wash your hands before touching your food and it’s also a good idea to keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer when eating at restaurants because menus are full of germs from many people; think about it. And, keep your hands out of your face.
2.) Get plenty of sleep – Sleeping is your body’s chance to recuperate from your day. When you do not get enough sleep, your immune system takes a hit and you will be more susceptible to bacteria and viruses. Shoot for 8-9 hours of sleep every night.
3.) Manage your stress – Stress weakens the body and the mind and causes you to expend energy which you normally wouldn’t spend under less stressful conditions. Stress is a fact of life and mostly unavoidable; find a way to manage it and get some relief.
4.) Get active – An active body is a more healthy body if treated right. The right amount of exercise strengthens your entire body and especially your immune system. Exercise creates blood circulation, growth hormone release, hormone production, and burns calories which all equate to better health. Although exercise is healthy, be sure not to do too much exercise; this weakens your immune system.
5.) Eat clean fuel – Food is fuel and clean fuel burns hot. When you eat “clean”, you are eating 4-5 servings of both fruits and vegetables a day; fruit and vegetables are full of high quality vitamins and minerals which create and support a strong immune system. High quality protein and whole grains also play a key role in building a strong immune system. Make sure you are also getting enough essential oils (Omega 3, 6, and 9) in your diet to ensure healthy cells. And, last but not least, drink plenty of water every day; at least 100-120 ounces a day.
From head to toe, we are only as strong as our weakest length. Maintaining a strong immune system is a daily fight and you have to pack a powerful punch and build a strong force field because germs are planning their next punch and will hit back.
