The easiest and best ways to boost your immunity naturally
- Avoid refined sugars: Candies, chocolate bars, white, brown, cane, berry or beet sugar. Do not eat sweets and use sweeteners minimally in cooking.
- Got to bed early. Your immune system works at its optimum during deep sleep between 12 am and 2 am. If you are not in deep sleep at this time, you will not reap these benefits. If you have trouble sleeping, contact me.
- Avoid alcohol. Alcohol also will depress your immunity. Limit alcoholic beverages.
- Contrast Hydrotherapy. An amazing boost for you immunity. If you have a sauna, get nice and hot in your sauna first, then have a cold splash, shower or a roll in the snow. Repeat this several times. It works better than you would imagine and will leave you feeling energized and relaxed.
- Fever – a slight elevation in internal body temperature will help your immune system work at its optimum. You can simulate a fever by taking a hot bath or using a sauna. Consider using the contrast hydrotherapy method.
- Antioxidants – when the immune system is ramped up, it generates a lot of free radicals. Antioxidants like those found in berries, turmeric, Vitamin C-rich foods like cabbage help quench the fire.
