Power Your Immunity, Your guide to killing a cold…
This is an assembly of the latest research on how to arm your immune system so it will strike at the first sign of a tickle in the throat or immediately after a suspicious double sneeze. Or right after you wake in the morning feeling a bit flat. These are symptoms of a cold or flu building. Don’t wait until sets in. Knock in the head immediately with these tips. These could be the difference between needing two days off work or just getting a sniffly nose.
Strategy 1. Eat a large healthy breakfast. Research shows eating a breakfast containing around 1200 calories increases the bodies immune system immediately. Eg. Sultana bran + low fat milk + glass of orange juice + toasted muffin with jam or peanut butter + banana smoothie. Wow! That’s a lot of food, but it will do the job.
Strategy 2. Swap your daily coffee for a green tea.
Strategy 3. Get a solid nights sleep. Aim for 8 hours of unbroken sleep. Research shows wearing light clothing such as a t – shirt and shorts in the hours before you go to bed adjusts your body temperature enough to improve your sleep and immune system.
Strategy 4. Exercise regularly. Research shows that regular moderate exercise increases white blood cell production and decreases colds and flu by 25%. Also if you are unlucky enough to get a cold, you should have it for a shorter duration. Weight training and walking are both excellent.
Strategy 5. Reduce prolonged stress. Prolonged stress of more than a couple of hours is detrimental to your immune system. Do something that relaxes you at the first signs of stress. Try deep breathing, meditation, yoga, stretching, exercise, reading, music etc.
