What a year it has been! I don’t know about you but if the world goes back to normal for June, then i’m going to be making sure my body is ready!
Your immune system has a big job to do fighting off germs, environmental toxins, and other threats.
Wouldn’t you like to give it a hand to make its work easier?
IMMUNITY BOOSTERS YOU CAN WORK ON AT HOME
1. LAUGH IT UP
A good laugh burns calories, boosts your heart rate, and strengthens your immune system. One study measured increased levels of certain antibodies in adults after they watched a Richard Pryor video. How about going out tonight to see a stand-up comedian or watching one on Netflix?
2. DRINK TEA
Consider trading in your second cup of coffee for a helping of tea. It’s full of phytochemicals and other substances that help to prime your immune system for action. I think of myself as a real tea snob... If there is such a thing. Art of Tea really scratches that itch for me.
Art of Tea
Based in Los Angeles, California they hand blend and custom craft the world’s finest organic teas and botanicals. Their teas are carefully selected directly from growers, each one offering a unique story.
3. DRINK A COCKTAIL. YES!
Alcohol may be beneficial as long as you practice moderation. That means up to two drinks a day for men and one for women. Researchers have found an enhanced vaccine response in monkeys who are moderate drinkers. Binge drinking, however, has the opposite effect.
4. AVOID OVERTRAINING.
Daily exercise strengthens your body, but overdoing it can leave you weaker than when you started. Set aside adequate time for rest and sleep. Cut back if your energy level is chronically low.
5. TAKE YOUR VITAMINS BUT CAN YOU VITAMINS DO THIS?

6. BASK IN THE SUN
Hold onto your sunscreen to protect you from skin cancer and premature aging, but small amounts of sunlight will give you the vitamin D you need for healing.
7. EAT YOGURT
Foods rich in probiotics have been associated with a lower rate of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. Stir toasted oats and almonds into a cup of yogurt for breakfast. Other good choices include soft cheeses, sourdough bread, and miso.
8. THINK POSITIVE
A cheerful attitude is one of the best defenses against illness. Plus, even if you feel under the weather, patience will lessen your discomfort.
Catch fewer colds and protect yourself from more serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes by taking care of your immune system. A healthy lifestyle and appropriate medical care can extend your life and help you stay active.
While a balanced diet and regular exercise are essential, they are just two of the effective ways you can maximize your healing powers.
