COVID-19 is Preventable

Here are a few ways how:

Many of you know the common prevention techniques such as self-isolation, the “6-foot rule” and changing our habits that impacts our respiratory system, such as smoking. Here I would like to talk about additional tips to strengthen your immune system.
Adequate sleep, 8 hours or more is critical for prevention
People who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus.
During sleep, your immune system releases proteins called cytokines. Certain cytokines need to increase when you have an infection or inflammation, or when you’re under stress. Sleep deprivation may decrease production of these protective cytokines. In addition, infection-fighting antibodies and cells are reduced during periods when you don’t get enough sleep.
Avoid Inflammatory Foods
Avoid an inflammatory diet by removing sugar, grains, gluten, alcohol and dairy from your diet. Decreasing inflammation prevents diseases, including COVID-19.
Stay Hydrated
It is extremly important to stay hydrated to ensure your respiratory system remains in full strength. When you get dehydrated it can compromise your respiratory system by reducing your body’s ability to fight infection and clear out mucus.
Avoid stress as much as possible
Stress is one of the underlying factors in most diseases. Especially now, during these uncertain times, external stressors are at an all time high. There are a few simple techniques you can practice at home to reduce your stress level such as:
– Meditation 5 to 15 minutes a day.
Start by focusing on your breath…. breathe in deeply for 3 seconds and then slowly breathe out for 5 seconds,
– Practice yoga a few minutes a day will have an amazing effects on both your physical and mental health.
– Take hot baths with Epsom Salt witch contain magnesium sulfate that can ultimately help the body relax.
Supplements to boost your immune System.**

Elderberry syrup. Take 1 tablespoon 2-3 times per day. It is great for respiratory infections and boosts immunity as well.
