9 Practical Things that Boost the Immune System
1. Sleep – you can do a lot of things right, but if you are not getting enough sleep – then you may not be benefiting from all other good things.
Get a consistent routine – go to bed and wake up at the same time each day
Aim for 8 hours sleep
Uplevel the quality of your sleep – Try the app Sleep Cycle
2. Shift your perspective – Jon Kabat Zin wrote a meditation book years ago called Full Catastrophe Living. Can you surrender to the new reality while also focusing on the opportunities?
3. Having a meditation practice is one of the best things that you can do to vibrate at a higher level – boosting your immune system and calming your mind.
4. Eat foods that have high prana (energy)
Most of our immunity comes from the lining of the gut
Focus on living foods – fruits and vegetables. Make you diet mostly plant-based meals.
