As we continue to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us are wondering how we can boost our immune systems. You most likely already know that you should take vitamin C, but here are some other ways you can give your immunity a powerful boost:
Tackle That Stress
When we’re stressed, our bodies produce stress hormones like cortisol, which weaken our immune system. This means that when we are under chronic stress, our immune system is under constant attack.
That’s why it’s important to find healthy ways to tackle stress. Try exercise, meditation, and psychotherapy to help relieve the burden.
Eat Right
When you eat a typical Standard American Diet (SAD), full of refined grains and sugars and unhealthy fats, you change your gut’s microbiome (the beneficial bacteria). And guess where 80% of your immune system is? In your gut!
Eat a healthy diet of grass-fed meats, dairy, and organic produce to give your body the nutrients it needs for increased immunity and to keep your gut microbiome nice and strong.
