What can you do to support your immune system?
Lifestyle adaptations:
-
Sleep well (7-9 hours per night)
-
Reduce stress (as much as possible…breathe deeply)
-
Eat well (more fruits and veggies, fewer carbs, eliminate refined sugar, alcohol, and caffeine)
-
Exercise (walk, HIIT, etc.)
-
Don’t smoke (countries hit hardest have lots of smokers. This virus goes to the lungs)
