With the current global situation we are facing, there is a lot of pressure to practice social distancing and self care during this time

Whether you are at home or at work, there are lots of things you can do to boost your immune system that are-hassle free!

Vitamin C is essential – this may seem like a no-brainer, but Vitamin C is super important to consume daily! Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your skin, heart, respiratory health and more, and can be found in citrus fruits, berries, leafy greens, or in supplement form.

Get rest when you can – I know if you’re going stir crazy at home, it can be tempting to find things to do. However, don’t overdo it! Try to maintain a healthy sleep schedule, as your body does most of its immune strengthening while you are asleep.

Stock up on the good stuff – organic garlic, ginger and turmeric are very powerful in their fight against infections and bacteria, and can be very useful on hand, whether you add them to tea, juices, or cook them up with your dinner.

Stay away from things that can make you sick – alcohol, refined sugars, cigarettes and processed foods are just some items that can weaken your immune system. Try to limit these indulgences as much as possible during this time.

Get fresh air – going out for a walk or spending time outside not only exposes you to healthy vitamin D from sunlight, but can improve your mood and reduce stress! Just remember to practice social distancing and avoid heavily populated areas.
