The news is full of coverage on the latest updates for the Coronavirus. How are you protecting yourself behind stock piling hand sanitizer and TP of course. It’s easy to fall victim to the media and news scare/fear.
Welcome to West Seattle Daily, Episode #042, brought to you by Sea-Town Real Estate. I'm your host, Christian Harris.
I wanted to share some ways for you to keep your immune system healthy:
⁃ Sleep ⁃ We heal during sleep. One of the ways we do this is to release melatonin from our pineal gland. ⁃ We do this best sleeping in a room that is dark and has minimal EMF (Electromagnetic field). ⁃ Keep phone and electrical equipment, including radio alarms well away from you, as the body confuses EMF with light, suppressing melatonin secretion. ⁃ We produce the most melatonin when asleep between 11pm and 3am. ⁃ Enjoy Nature ⁃ We are so lucky to live in the PNW with so many options to get outside t& explore. Check out our website for a list of our favorite parks in West Seattle. ⁃ Getting out into the fresh air can stimulate the immune system cells in lungs and help make our immune system more active. ⁃ Deep breathing can help as this will also bring more oxygen to our blood. ⁃ T.L.C. ⁃ Give yourself lots of T.L.C.(tender loving care). ⁃ Dry skin brushing daily is a wonderful way to rid the skin of dead cells and boost the lymphatic system. ⁃ Bubble Bath ⁃ Infrared Sauna @wesweat ⁃ Curl up with your favorite book ⁃ Exercise: Moderate exercise, even walking a mile or two at least three times a week, helps your lymphatic system cleanse impurities to boost your immune system. ⁃ Avoid long grueling workouts. A brisk walk every day is all you need in the winter. ⁃ Stress Less: This should be an all year practice. Many consider stress or anxiety as the leading cause for decreased immunity. Lighten up. Try meditation or yoga. Laugh more. Be less critical. Worry less. ⁃ Immune Booster Rules ⁃ Remove Sugar: Cut out canned drinks, pastries, biscuits and such. A few grams of sugar can destroy your white blood cells' ability to resist infections for several hours. ⁃ Eat for the season – Root vegetables, soups and slow-cooked stews and casseroles are all favorites for the winter, as are beans and lentils. Don’t worry about calories. Focus instead on the nutritional content. ⁃ Eat more Garlic and Onion: Besides being rich in antioxidants and selenium, garlic is antibacterial and antiviral. ⁃ To support your immune system, you can eat immunity supporting foods like citrus fruits, broccoli, and spinach. ⁃ Reduce Inflammation ⁃ Sugar, processed meat, vegetable oils, and alcohol tend to be inflammatory foods so they busy the immune system, leaving other problems in your body unaddressed. That's why it can be really helpful to remove these inflammatory foods if we want a healthy immune system.
We hope this list provides you a start to a happy healthy week. Sit down with your loved ones over a warm meal this evening and create a plan and habits to implement together. Keep each other accountable for whatever goals you set. Don’t let fear freeze you.
See you tomorrow!
