9 WAYS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR BODY AGAINST VIRUSES LIKE COVID-19 The best way to keep your body healthy during this time is to stay moving and reduce inflammation. Being sedentary and making poor diet choices has the potential to hurt your immune system and make you a target for sickness and disease.

9 ways to strengthen your body against viruses like COVID-19:

1. Wash your hands often, for at least 20 seconds, using soap and water.

2. Don’t touch your face!

3. Go outside and go for a walk, jog, or bike.

4. Eat a Mediterranean or other mostly plant-based diet.

5. Don’t smoke.

6. Strive for more quality (deep) sleep.

7. Drink plenty of water.

8. Stand up and stretch!

9. Keep doing your home exercise program.

In order to be healthy, there needs to be a large emphasis on movement. When your body is flexible, strong, well-balanced, and fueled by a nutritious diet, it is able to fight infection and reduce the impact of viruses. We are dedicated to helping you live the best life you can. During this time, if you cannot make it to your physical therapy appointments, continue your exercises at home. We care for you and remember you are part of our physical therapy family.
