What are some tips to improve your immunity?

​

• Limit inflammatory foods:-
   

  • Gluten (inflammatory - especially wheat for Corona as that affects the chest.) 

  • Dairy (mucus agent - especially with Corona as it is a mucus building virus)

  • No refined flours – no muffins or cakes

  • Limit sugar, typically have sugar free treats – lollies or 75%+ dark chocolate (very rarely) (Sugar is inflammatory best to stay off it or keep it to a minimum with Corona)

  • Limit processed foods  

  • Don’t cook with any oils only salt free full fat butter on a low heat or with water (heat causes a marked increase in free radicals being released)

  • I never put butter on hot toast  – only once it has cooled.
     

• Limit coffee

• Limit salt – use garlic and herbs for flavours

• Shoot for a predominantly a Mediterranean organic diet – fish (Mercury free), chicken, salads, seeds and vegetables with occasional fruit

• Use flaxseed oil only / cold pressed olive oil - for salads and soups 

• I drink a lot of herbal tea!

• Limit alcohol

• Try to exercise 3 - 4 times a week 

• Meditate daily – guided or mindful based meditation.
