Do you get sick more than 2-3 times per year? Is the duration more than 24 hours?
Does this affect your productivity, enjoyment or budget?
If so, consider this: You may be eating too much, getting too many toxins, and still may not be getting enough nutrition, in order to keep your immune system strong. Americans are the kings and queens of illness, and most of it is easily prevented.
Here are ten ideas to get sick less often, and get better faster:
- Eat brown rice 5-7x/wk (soak and pressure cook speed it up; add beans and nuts)
- Eat miso soup 5-7x/wk (nature’s anti/pro-biotic) with seaweed, mushrooms & greens
- Avoid chicken, beef, pork, eggs & dairy foods, and go organic for animal products
- Skip dessert, alcohol, coffee, fruit juice and soda. Enjoy green or twig tea, and water
- Chew your food well, eat sitting down, don’t eat after 8pm, don’t overeat
- Get to bed by 11pm, and wake up by 7am
- Do a daily body rub
- Less screen time, whether it be TV, video games, phone or computer
- Take a nature walk every day, and bring more plants into your home
- Avoid chemicals on the lawn, in personal care and cleaning products, etc.
Also remember not to cover up the symptoms with medications. That not only adds more toxicity to your body, lowering your immune system, but it allows you to continue your poor eating and lifestyle choices.
