12 WAYS TO COMBAT CORONAVIRUS + SUPPLEMENTS, FOODS, CHARITIES TO SUPPORT & MUCH MORE

Today I’m sharing 12 Ways To Combat Coronavirus + Supplements, Foods, Charities To Support & Much More. The best time to build up your immune system is way before you actually need it. And with over 70% of your immune system living in your gut, whether you want to believe it or not every meal plays a vital role in keeping you healthy or not.

I for one know I do not eat near enough nutrients, fruits and vegetables in my diet as I should. Yes I still drink my mBreakfast Shake every morning but that’s just not enough. You are supposed to have 5 to 9 servings of fruits and veggies a day. So I have to supplement for many of the things that I am lacking.

But I have been trying my best to incorporate more plant-based foods in my diet and less meat. They are rich in antioxidants and fiber plus work to keep your immune system strong. One way I’ve been doing this is by adding the Sakara At Home Plant-Rich Ready-To-Eat Meals to my Diet. And use My Personal Discount CODE: ‘XOSSS’ – to receive 20% off the SAKARA SITE! 

They deliver nationwide and this is my fourth week eating them and I just love them! And my daughters and husband do as well. Head to the bottom of this post for a special collaboration offer between Sakara & my favorite beauty expert Dr. Barbara Sturm (you will receive $250 worth of 4 of her top products if you participate)!

12 WAYS TO HELP COMBAT CORONAVIRUS:

1. WASH YOUR HANDS: With soap and water for at least 20 seconds and be sure to cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.

2. INCREASE VITAMIN C INTAKE: (Recommended daily dose of Liposomal Vitamin C is 1,000 mg for adults found here & another one found here as well) + (Liposomal Vitamin C for Kids contains a tiny 125 mg capsule found here) for children, 4 years old and older.

3. INCREASE VITAMIN D INTAKE: (Recommend daily maintenance 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 found here) or (D3 + K2 found here).

*based on your current vitamin D3 levels and current vitamin D3 intake from multivitamins and other sources, you may need more vitamin D3 or less.

*as a general guideline, get your vitamin D level tested twice a year, in the winter and summer, to make sure you’re in a healthy range of 60 ng/mL to 80 ng/mL year-round.

4. BOOST IMMUNITY WITH THESE NUTRIENTS:

The provisional daily dosage suggestions to help control RNA viruses, including Influenza and Coronavirus Infection, are as follows:

I also go locally to Formula Wellness (as many of you know) to receive various IV Therapies as well as Wellness Injections to replenish, energize and revive myself with a blend of all natural vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants throughout the year! 

5. TRY PRE-, PRO- AND SPOREBIOTICS: (probiotic with bifidobacterium bifidum strain found here & probiotic here as well; Probiotics specially for women here & Probiotics for kids found here; + Complete Spore Restore found here/Sporebiotics;

6. TAKE QUERCETIN: (For adults 500 milligram-dose mg twice a day found here)

7. TAKE N-acetylcysteine/NAC: (600mg and found here and NAC also found here) 

8. GET PLENTY OF SLEEP: For most people eight hours is the minimum for functioning at your best. Recent research shows the composition of your gut microbiome, why you need to take #6 seriously, the quality and quantity of your sleep and your immune function are all connected.

9. GET ADEQUATE SUNSHINE: Vitamin D from sun exposure increases your body’s production of naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides that destroy the cell walls of viruses and bacteria.

10. EXERCISE TO BOOST IMMUNITY: People who exercised regularly were shown to have stronger immune systems, as evidenced by higher T-cell activity, than their non-exercising peers.

11. STAY HYDRATED: Drinking adequate water is vital for proper hydration, flushing toxins in the body and contributing to an improved immune system. Whether it’s with Vitamin C supplements like lemon or glucose or water with ginger & cayenne, it can remove all the toxins from your body. I love adding these to mine.

12. MEDITATE: Meditation impacts your biology and physical health via “stress reduction pathways” in your brain. Therefore, Meditate to Stress Less & Accomplish More.

In Summary:

• The only real defense against COVID-19 is your own immune system, which works best when fed right. While changing your diet is a commonsense solution for the long term, a rapid-response strategy would be to use high doses of Vitamin C
• Vitamin C strengthens your immune system and kills pathogens, including viruses, when taken in high doses
• Other important immune boosting nutrients are vitamin D, magnesium and zinc
• They are now finally adapting Vitamins C and D in high doses in the conventional treatment of novel coronavirus. This fortunate turn of events is likely to save thousands of lives, while keeping health care costs way down.
• Vitamin C at extremely high doses acts as an antiviral drug, actually killing viruses.
• Seriously ill coronavirus patients in New York state’s largest hospital system are finally receiving 1,500 milligrams of intravenous vitamin C three to four times a day, in conjunction with other conventional treatments.
• Although vitamin D does not appear to have a direct effect on viruses, it does strengthen immune function, thus allowing the host body to combat the virus more effectively. It also suppresses inflammatory processes.

To help you lift your mood and lower your stress during quarantine: Invite your neighbors to a cocktail hour (with six feet of distance between you of course). Call that relative or friend you haven’t spoken to in months. Create a virtual book or movie club using Zoom. Skype or Facetime loved ones so you can see each other’s faces as you chat.

These type of  interactions, even if they last ten minutes or less, will lift your mood, lower your stress, and help you cope with the anxiety of self-quarantine.

I love this to help us keep things in perspective for reference:

If you think you’re showing symptoms of Coronavirus, which include fever, shortness of breath, and cough, call your doctor before going to get tested. If you’re anxious about the virus’s spread in your community, visit the CDC for up-to-date information and resources, or seek out a mental health support.
