Three things to do every day to strengthen the immune system:

• Meditation will decompress our mind which will support our immune system.

• Belly massages to support the release of serotonin.

• Hot baths will support us in letting go, if only for a moment, the stress in our physical bodies.

Tips for building a healthy immune system:

• Nutraceuticals that support a healthy immune system. Some to consider taking daily are vitamin D, curcumin, green tea-70, and immune health support formulations.

• CBD enhances immune support by allowing our own endocannabinoids to function optimally.

• Exercise and intermittent fasting.

Three immune-enhancing super-foods for immune-boosting support:

• Ginger: the active compounds in ginger have powerful antimicrobial and antiviral properties.

• Garlic: this kitchen stable is an immune boosting-superstar.

• Citrus: Oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes are great at preventing deficiencies in vitamin C, which leads to impaired immune function and increased risk of infection.

• With the increase use of wipes for disinfection, remember these tips:

• Wipes block everything, so don’t flush them.

• All types of wipes belong in the trash.

• While packaging states flushable, wipes do not break down, causing blockages in sewer pipes.

• The commode should only be used for three things: pee, poop and (toilet) toilet paper.
