Recently we’ve seen a surge of panic buying at t

Recently we’ve seen a surge of panic buying at the grocery store -stock piling everything including toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and bottled water. The spread of misinformation is causing many to react out of fear and anxiety instead of reacting from a solid knowledge base. Below are a few general guidelines based on empirical evidence to help you boost your immune system to give you a fighting chance!⁣
⁣
#1 Eat a Balanced Diet and Skip Megadosing Vitamins⁣
Vitamin C doesn’t ward off the common cold, and there is even less evidence that they grant immunity against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. ⁣
⁣
Support your immune system the healthy way by fueling your body with nutrient dense meals. Plant based meals are packed with phytonutrients which possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They may also enhance immunity and intercellular communication, repair DNA damage from exposure to toxins, detoxify carcinogens and alter estrogen metabolism. ⁣
⁣
#2 Get Adequate Sleep⁣
Current studies indicate that individuals who obtain inadequate sleep are more likely to get sick when exposed to viruses. In fact, the immune response to the influenza virus vaccine was diminished after six days of restricted sleep. Furthermore, there is also evidence for an enhanced susceptibility to the common cold with poor sleep efficiency. The CDC recommends getting seven or more hours of sleep per night.⁣
⁣
#3 Minimize Stress⁣
When we are stressed, the immune system’s ability to fight off infection is reduced. Stress limits your body's lymphocytes, which are white blood cells that help fight infection. The Cleveland Clinic states, “High stress levels also can cause depression and anxiety, leading to high levels of inflammation. In the long-term, sustained, high levels of inflammation point to an overworked, over-tired immune system that can’t properly protect you.” ⁣
⁣
Managing both physical and physiological stress will help decrease stress’ influence on your immune function. While this is most certainly a stressful time, find moments to decompress through meditation, yoga, journaling, or doing whatever activity brings you joy!

It’s mid January, holidays are officially over and most likely life has returned back to normal for you. New Year’s resolutions are fueling your behavior to get to the gym more often, so you find yourself reluctantly signing up for that 6 am circuit class.⁣
⁣
Of course exercising daily can lead to weight loss, but that shouldn’t be the only reason you put yourself through an intense bootcamp class or sweat through a heated yoga class.⁣
⁣
Did you know exercising daily can help to make you happier? Exercise has been shown to improve your mood and decrease feelings of depression, anxiety and stress, which coincidentally is common post holiday season. ⁣
⁣
Exercising daily can also provide an energy boost, which is much needed during the long, cold, winter months. This is true even in people with persistent fatigue and those suffering from serious illnesses.⁣
⁣
Not only that, regular exercise can also help you to sleep better. The energy depletion that occurs during either aerobic exercise alone or aerobic exercise combined with resistance training can equally help sleep quality.⁣
⁣
So while you may be reluctant to grab your spin shoes and jump on that saddle at 6 am, think about all of the benefits you may experience throughout your day. ⁣

Most of you giving #Veganuary a go this year and are hopefully succeeding! Your plan tbased meals are packed with nutrients which may improve your health!⁣
⁣
Phytonutrients are natural chemicals produced by plants which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can help support a healthy human body.⁣
⁣
Getting a variety of color onto your plate and boost the phytonutrient value of your meal by incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables. Here’s a quick breakdown:⁣
⁣
🥕 Orange and Yellow - Beta carotene, a carotenoid, can be found in carrots, mango, sweet potatoes, and other similarly shaded foods. This phytonutrient is converted into vitamin A, which promotes good vision.⁣
⁣
🍅 Red - Lycopene, another carotenoid, can found in tomato, pink grapefruit, and watermelon has been linked to lowered risk for prostate, lung and stomach cancers.⁣
⁣
🍇 Purple and Blue - Anthocyanins, found in eggplants, radishes and berries, are antioxidants that may inhibit tumor growth, boost cognitive function, and fight heart disease.⁣
⁣
🥬 Green - Common carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin may prevent eye disease and stroke. These phytonutrients are found in foods including zucchini, leafy greens and basil.⁣
