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.
