Did you know that a Sugar Cleanse can Support your Immune System?
This winter is predicted to be a doozy with the flu, colds, and COVID. As we all stop wearing masks we have the possibility of catching whatever is going around at school, work, or just the grocery store.
So, is your body ready for it?
Here are some tips on how to make your immune system ready for this winter.
How to Boost Immune System
Fall is here and I’m already seeing patients with the common cold. My son commented that everyone at school is sick too. So this is a good time to think about building up your immune system to fight off colds and flu.
Colds spread through the office and school classrooms like crazy at this time of year, but you don’t have to join in the suffering. Most adults and kids continue to go to work and school while sick unless they are just too sick to get out of bed. So that means, colds get spread very easily by just touching a doorknob or a keypad where germs can live for hours, then touching your face where viruses enter through your eyes, nose, or mouth. This is how most kids catch a cold and spread it to their parents.
Here are some easy tips you can add to your life this winter.
1. Sleep.
It’s essential for good health any time, but even more so when everyone around you is coughing and sneezing. Make sure you get 7-9 hours starting at 9-10pm.
2. Food.
Eat healthy whole foods like leafy greens that are filled with nutrients. Warm foods will help your digestion too.
3. Sneeze into a tissue or your elbow.
Then wash your hands immediately. Only about 40% of your sneeze makes it into the tissue, the rest ends up on your hands. So wash them whenever using a tissue. If there are no tissues handy, use our elbow to catch your sneeze.
4. Exercise.
Aerobic exercise pumps up your heart and moves oxygen from your lungs to your blood. This helps increase the body’s natural virus-killing cells and immune response.
5. Hand washing.
Do it several times a day and try not to touch your face. When you wash your hands, lather up with the soap while singing happy birthday, twice. Then rinse your hands.
6. Meditate daily.
A daily practice of meditation or even just thinking happy or calming thoughts can boost your immune system. Try 5 minutes of deep breathing, as this will lower cortisol levels, which increase when you feel stressed. Stress, on the other hand, has been proven to lower your immune response.
7. Take your USANA cellsentials twice daily.
Because NOT taking care of yourself (like taking a daily multivitamin) is easy to do. If you haven’t already tried the supplements, here’s a link to get them wholesale through me. I’m happy to answer any questions about what to order and what would be best for you specifically.
8. Do a SUGAR cleanse.
