PHITNESS HUMOR FROM PHIT PICKLE
MAINTAIN A HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM! Keep a Positive Mindset: A positive mindset doesn’t mean you ignore life’s difficulties and challenges – it means you approach them in a more constructive and positive way. A positive mindset has been linked with lower rates of depression, resistance to the common cold, and better cardiovascular health. Stay Hydrated: The human body is mostly water, and our brain and muscles are up to 75% water. Water is found in every cell, tissue, and organ in the body – that’s how important it is. Proper hydration improves brain function, helps deliver oxygen to the body, lubricates joints, and is essential for cell growth, replication, and survival. Eat Your Vegetables: Vegetables (and fruits) are loaded with Vitamins and minerals that help support immunity, including Vitamins C, B6, and E. Vegetables that are particularly rich in these nutrients include yellow bell peppers, kale, broccoli, spinach, peas, potatoes, carrots, and avocados. Quercetin (a flavonoid found in onions, grapes, capers, and black and green tea) is believed to have antiviral properties. Consume Vitamin D: Vitamin D plays a key role in immune health. When you are deficient in Vitamin D, you may have an increased risk of respiratory infection. Consume Essential Fatty Acids: The benefits of essential fatty acids are almost endless: improved cardiovascular health, muscle tissue maintenance, mental and cognitive improvement, and reduced inflammation. Fish and seafood, especially salmon, mackerel, albacore tuna, trout, sardines, and swordfish, are generally the best sources of essential fatty acids. Skip Added Sugar: Sugar can temporarily halt your immune system’s ability to respond to challenges, so focus on cutting foods with high levels of sugar and added sugars. “Added sugar” doesn’t naturally occur in food, so we’re not referring to what you’ll find naturally in fruit – we’re talking about artificially sweet treats like candies, cookies, and cakes. Added sugar can even sneak into flavoured yogurt, sauces, and granola. Move For 30-60 Minutes Each Day: Whether it’s a bodyweight and resistance band workout, a long walk, bike ride, or a run, the benefits of movement and exercise are endless: improved mood, reduced insulin sensitivity, increased energy, and improved cardiovascular health – just to name a few. Avoid repeated overexertion since it can compromise your immune system, but make healthy movement a daily priority. Get Zinc: Zinc plays a critical role in our immune system. Great sources of zinc include shellfish, red meat, chickpeas, lentils, and pumpkin seeds.
