Let’s break it down! If I could make a list it would be the obvious six:
- Wash your hands.
- Cover your mouth with a tissue or elbow.
- Avoid sugar and dairy.
- Eat between eight to nine cups of produce a day.
- Drink eight-eight ounce cups of water daily.
- Exercise.
Just because we know better does not mean we do better, and we should. We have to stop looking for what others can do for you, and take responsibility for yourself and your family: self-educate, implement, and execute.
It is not only important to learn of the actual tangible ways to keep ourselves well, but it is also crucial to implement a schedule or a routine in order to maintain a strong immune system and healthy lifestyle.
With a pandemic, your best defense is a strong offense. How can we boost the immune system? Apples, garlic, dark greens, and onions are some of the foods that help maintain a healthy intestinal tract. Our immune system is established in the gut (intestines). If the intestines are unhealthy, even eating healthy foods takes time to penetrate the thick build up along the intestinal walls. This keeps the nutrients from passing through the walls and getting into the bloodstream where your body receives food and oxygen.
It is our responsibility to ourselves—and even to God—to respect our bodies (temple) and do the best we can to execute a healthy lifestyle: physically and spiritually.
