Boost Your Immune System

Watch the full 16-minute video from the talk on Wednesday, March 18th, 2020.

 

Highlights from the video:

 

• Our #1 goal for the next 3 months is simple: Don’t get sick! Don’t get the virus, don’t spread the virus. Try to avoid getting ill at all to minimize going to the doctor/hospital, etc.

 

• One of the things you can do to help prevent getting sick is to support your immune system.  There are 5 foundational elements to support your immune system:

1. 1. Get Good Sleep

   2. Be Well-Nourished (eat lots of nutrient-dense, plant-based foods)

   3. Make Sure You Get Enough Vitamin D

   4. Lower Your Stress (yoga and meditation are recommended by the Harvard Medical School).

   5. Exercise!

Part of #2, being well-nourished, it getting enough prebiotics and probiotics in your diet. Read more about prebiotics, probiotics and gut microbiome here.

As a reminder:

• The science shows the virus can live up to 72 hours (or more) on surfaces.

• The virus can survive in the air for up to 3 hours (or more).

• Many people get and spread the virus without having any symptoms themselves.

• Please be mindful of these facts when you are deciding how and where to go out and interact with others. This is a good moment to be very conservative in your interactions. Be part of the solution, not the problem.
