Afraid of getting sick? Let's talk immunity!

It's Fall!

And that means it's getting cold outside! With cold weather, people are more worried about catching colds, and also there has been huge concerns over other illnesses like the H1N1 Virus. To make yourself less susceptible to theses things you must boost your immune system!

Getting sick is not inevitable!

There is no need to say "I hope I don't get sick!" as if it's some kind of role of the dice! There are many different steps that you can take to make sure that you reduce the likelihood of yourself getting sick! What you put in your body does have an effect on how well it will run!

So what am I doing wrong?!

Sometimes, it's not easy to get health right, and we don't always know what we are doing wrong! I'll tell you a couple of things that you might do on a daily basis that might actually hurt your immune system and might actually make you more likely to become sick!

  1. Reduce your alcohol consumption!
  2. Avoid pop and other soft drinks (Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, Mountain Dew, Ect)
  3. Avoid Processed/Bleached foods
These things harm your digestive system, add stress to your body, and don't make it easy for your body to fight of illness.

So what should I do?

Of course there are many other things that we can do to hurt our immune system, but what should we do to HELP it? Info on why it's important to invest in your health can be found HERE, but here is a list of things I find helpful.

  1. GET YOUR ENZYMES
  2. Get your VITAMINS (not a 1 a day)
  3. Drink plenty of water!
  4. Have a solid "Rise and Rest pattern"
  5. Get about 7-8 hours of sleep a night
  6. Mind your nutrition! Eat the right foods!
  7. Supplement to fortify your body's natural defenses.
  8. Use a Pro-Biotic
Why talk so much about nutrition and supplements?

In the list above I mention a lot about nutrition and gave you some links also to the supplements that I use. The supplements I recommend are the ones that I use, and have found to be the most effective, but find what you like the best, and use those based on your own research if you don't want to take my word for it. The reason that digestion is so important, is because 87% of disease originates in your digestive system! Take care of your digestion (and elimination) and your body can take care of itself!
