“An OUNCE of Prevention

is worth

a POUND of Cure”

I just got a Q about what to do in the face of all the microscopic threats we are hearing about on the news, reading in our papers and online news sources.

They are frightening, even terrorizing to some, because we are made to feel powerless.  The good news is that there are many things that we can do to boost our body’s immune system and increase our resiliency when we do come in contact with nasty microbes.

My hubby travels via plane up to 6 times, sometimes 8 times a month. 

While doctors can help with some things, our news outlets are telling us they are absolutely powerless with other things.  They can treat symptoms with medications that may or may not have a 75% efficacy rate.

Honestly, they would rather that we take better care of ourselves so we don’t need them so much.  Don’t worry, just because you and I remain healthy doesn’t mean that they will run out of work.

Add these common sense steps to your wellness protocol.

Step 1 – Make sleep a priority. This is when your body is in healing and restoring mode. It is your number 1 priority. Lack of sleep is a detriment to your health and most of the time, it’s self-inflicted. Click here for 44 really good reasons.

Step 2 – Nutrition is key. A healthy, well nourished body will sleep more deeply which will boost immunity. A sound nutritional supplement regimen supports the body systems for optimal health and resiliency to threats.

Step 3 – Stop with the sugar already! Sugar, including alcohol and wine, depletes your body of vital energy, impairs your ability to heal, feeds fungus, and abnormal cells. So just stop. It’s not worth it.

Step 4 – Exercise appropriately. Overexercising is a craze and it is super crazy stressful on your body, causes inflammation, depletes reserves and lowers immunity. If your ‘fitness’ regimen leaves you too tired to do anything but lay on your couch and eat Cheetos, it is too much. You are doing far more harm than good.

What are you doing to boost your immunity and prevent illness?
