Coronavirus and Nutrition

It goes without saying that the Coronavirus topic is consuming all news and discussions. It’s important to look at this issue in a rational way and not panic. Practicing proper hygiene and staying away from large groups are key basics. It’s also important to remember to keep your immune system strong. 

There are many ways to do this, so let’s go over a few. First off, get plenty of rest. Adequate sleep is very important for your immune system, so be sure you are not sleep deprived. Second, make sure to keep exercising. If you trying to stay away from the gym, even just regular walking or running outside is helpful. Third, try your best not to stress.  That’s easier said than done right now, but focus less on the news and more on the positive. Stress will impact your immune system and make you more susceptible to sickness. Finally, NUTRITION!! Practice eating a healthy diet and stay away from the sugary and processed foods. The better you feed your body, the better it will perform. Check out this article, which discusses nutrition and how it affects your immunity.
