- Eat a healthy and balanced diet — Make sure your body has adequate levels of proper vitamins, minerals, enzymes and micronutrients which are needed to keep itself in good repair.
- Get Adequate Rest — Staying up late and using sugar, tobacco, coffee and energy drinks is not recommended.
- Stay Hydrated — Increase the effectiveness of your natural defense mechanisms by drinking plenty of water throughout your day.
- Exercise — Increase the efficiency of your lymphatic system, which requires movement to circulate this important germ-fighting fluid. Take a walk, hike, or simply work in your garden or back yard! There are many safe and creative ways to stay active and healthy.
- Stay Positive! — Have you ever heard the expression "worried sick"? Your brain is a very powerful thing, and can be the difference between you staying healthy, or not. Stay informed, but distance yourself from the fear revolving around the pandemic. Take care of your mental health by taking breaks from the news and social media periodically, and use that time to focus on things you enjoy, like spending time your family, reading a good book, cooking a wonderful meal, working in the garden, or taking walks.
- Wash Your Hands — Regularly wash your hands for 20 seconds at a time, and keep your hands and fingers away from your eyes, nose and mouth.
- When you're comfortable, resume your Chiropractic Adjustments — Don't handicap your nervous system, the master system that controls your entire body. Keep up with regular adjustments, stretches, and recommended continued care.
Following these suggestions is a great way to stay safe from any number of germs or microbes.
