Helping you EAT, MOVE and THINK your way to better health
|
|
|
Our lives continue to change at a rapid pace as they are affected by Covid-19. We all have questions, yet media reports can seem a little contradictory. Can we/can’t we do this or that? How do I cope with my kids, parents, work and so on. One of the things we are asked most is how can I help myself stay healthy?
This is difficult to answer as each of us has different circumstances. The main thing is to think first about yourself – if you are sick you can't help others – and next is to support your immune system so that if you do come into contact with the virus, you will be better able to fight it off. Here is our check list of how to keep yourself, and your family, as fit and healthy as possible:
|
1. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to support your immune system.
2. Get out in the sun and absorb some Vitamin D. If you can't get outside, supplementing with Vitamin D3 is helpful.
3. Exercise a little every day – walk as much as possible or if you are stuck indoors try this at Living Naturally.
4. Avoid crowded places OR even better, just stay home!
5. Keep busy – set yourself tasks that you have been avoiding like Spring cleaning (also good exercise!); get out the old board games to keep the kids occupied and get everyone learning something new like a language or a hobby.
6. And last, as our parents used to say, “play nicely with the other kids.” Buy only what you need, help where you can and respect each others personal space. |
