As a flight attendant who comes into contact with hundreds of people on a daily basis, the Coronavirus has even me looking for the emergency exits. We still don’t know much about it, but I’m here to tell you having a strong immune system is one of your best defenses against any flu or virus!
Here are 10 easy and doable ways to help your body boost your immune system:
- Get enough rest— prioritize your sleep
- Stay hydrated (cut down on caffeine and alcohol)
- Eat real food (nothing processed and organic as much as possible)
- Avoid sugar and fake sugar substitutes
- Add probiotic rich foods daily (organic and/or non dairy yogurt, sauerkraut, and kombucha or supplement all help with healthy gut bacteria)
- Up your vitamin C (through food, supplements or EnerC)
- Up your vitamin D. (getting outside in the sun is my favorite way)
- Ginger and turmeric (both have antimicrobial properties = natural immunity)
- Mushrooms (I add Four Sigmatic’s 10 mushroom blend to my coffee every morning)
- Onions and garlic (Great antioxidants, reduces inflammation, and detoxifying) Plus people will keep their distance! 🤣
Some of these are common sense like getting rest and staying hydrated but we often need a reminder to do it. So as your favorite health coach from the friendly skies, I’m here to encourage you to review the above list and add a few others to your immune boosting arsenal? I wrote another post Healthy Holiday Travel with lots more tips you’ll love and any virus will hate!
Get your hands wet! Make sure to wash your hands often and for at least 20 seconds. If you sing the Happy Birthday song while doing it you’ll make sure to get your 20 seconds in. Wearing gloves can help but a mask may not. Can wearing masks help to stop the spread of viruses?
Above all, don’t panic! 😚. I’ve seen some crazy stuff already both inflight and in the airport. Here’s a great article from Leland Stillman,MD about the Coronavirus and our immune system. If you’re already healthy you’re in good shape!
Sleep long and well tonight with all your new immune boosting hacks!
