4 Ways To Boost Your Immunity

Posted on by

A few reminders on things you can do to support your immune system! While these things don’t protect you from getting sick they are so important to allow your body to be able to stay strong!  Now more than ever it is so important to boost your immunity and take care of your mental and physical health!

Healthy diet

Do the best you can with filling up on fresh summer veggies, lean proteins and healthy fats! Give your body foods that are not processed in a rainbow of colors to maximize your nutrients and vitamins. The fuel you are giving your body allows it to work better or worse, and we want it to be as efficient as possible right now so it’s available to fight off anything it needs to.

To Do: pay attention to your eating habits for 2-3 full days and notice where you can sneak a few extra veggies into your meals!

Sleep

Rest and sleep are SO important when it comes to keeping your immune system strong. Use this as a great excuse to get to bed early or get an extra hour in the morning. Sleep is allows your body to restore itself, repair and fight if needed!

To Do: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep! If this is a stretch, try going to bed 15 minutes earlier for a few nights, then moving it up another 15 minutes!

Exercise

Not only does exercise help with stress management, it also allows your body to circulate blood and oxygen around! Moderate exercise, and a good routine is so helpful in reducing inflammation and boosting your immune system.

To Do: Create a fitness routine that works for you! Do things you enjoy – if you are not sure what you like anymore, try something new! Opt for a pool workout or a cardio tennis drill to change things up!

Manage Stress

Stress plays a negative role in immunity. It promotes inflammation and has the potential to suppress your immune system. By understanding what causes you the most stress and managing your emotions you can better handle stress!

To Do: Find a stress management technique that works for you. Not everyone is the same and it’s important to honor yourself when it comes to what you do to manage stress.

Taking care of yourself is one of the best ways to boost your immunity! If you are feeling overwhelmed right now and need support, reach out!

Struggling To Get Into a Workout Routine?

3 Reasons You May Be Having Trouble Getting Into a Workout Routine

🙅‍♀️You don’t like the exercise you chose.

People often think that exercise has to be something that doesn’t feel good or fun to do. This isn’t true! If you are hating every minute of working out – you have not found the right exercise for you! Keep trying different things until you find something you don’t hate…and maybe you could start to like it!

🥵You aren’t ok with being uncomfortable.

There is a difference between pain and discomfort. While working out should not be completely painful, it shouldn’t be completely comfortable – that is not the point. The point is to add a little stress to your body to make it work a little harder to get you stronger or leaner. Get ok with the idea of being a little uncomfortable and your attitude toward exercise may change!

🗒You didn’t commit to making it a habit with a solid plan

If you are really interested in making a routine for yourself – it’s time to go at it with a solid plan. Think about it – you make a plan for anything you really care about and exercise is no different. You need a plan!
