Because Ebola sucks! No seriously it does. And I want to keep my Family and I as healthy as possible. These are basically free ways to make our bodies more efficient at staying healthy. There are a lot of other ideas and things to do , so I am encouraging you all to do research on this subject.
Immune boosters:
- Drink more Water.
When your body is dehydrated it does not function properly anymore, resulting in inflammation and autoimmune disease. Your lymphatic system does not drain and things get all sorts of backed up in your system.
- Get more Sleep
Sleep deprivation suppresses immune system functions.
- Stress less
When under stress, cells of the immune system are unable to respond to hormonal control, so they produce levels of inflammation that promote disease
- Eat less processed foods.
All the chemicals in food lead up to an overabundance of it in our systems which leads to inflammation and a backed up system and as we all know by this point inflammation equals lower immune system.
- Be happy
Smile more, laugh more, let the small stuff go. The happier you are the more cortisol you produce the healthier your immune system will be.
- Be Active
When you are physically Active more systems in your body function properly. Things can drain and move out of your body the way they should.
- Let Go and let God
Trust in the Lord and He will make your path straight. proverbs 3:5-6 (paraphrased)
This comes in really handy when you can't sleep and are stressed out and you can't seem to get happy.
Love,
