13 User Friendly Things You Can Do to Avoid Stressing Your Immune System Beyond Its Limits

Maintain a positive mental attitude.

Eating a balanced diet helps your immune system fight disease.  

Wash hands often with soap and water.  Carry and use hand sanitizer when soap and water are unavailable.

Keep hands away from eyes, mouth, and nose.

Avoid people who have colds, flu, etc.

Cover your nose and mouth when you cough, and then wash your hands.

Viruses flourish in dry air.  Keep the atmosphere in your home a little on the humid side.

Keep yourself hydrated.  

Avoid stress of all kinds.  This means not smoking, not indulging in alcohol and other recreational drugs, and not engaging in activities that result in bruises, broken bones, etc.

Get enough sleep.  Your body’s immune system can’t work at optimum levels if it’s sleep deprived.  (Added bonus:  you’ll look a lot better, too.)

Keep your body and environment as nontoxic as possible.  You want the air you breathe to be clean.  That translates to an air purifier with a clean filter in your home that is turned “on”.

“Detox” all your cleaning products, both personal and household.  Your local health food store sells a safe line of cleaning products.  Discard appropriately (or give away) the old toxic cleaners including shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, mouth wash.  You should begin to feel better in a few weeks.

When inflammation is a factor, try to maintain a peaceful and harmonious attitude to avoid anger, annoyance, fear.

Thanks again for reading this blog/book which comes to you from my healing space in scenic downtown Woodstock, NY.

Peace and food for all.
