Wellness with Jen: Healthy People: Lucky or Smart? strengthening my immune system over the years of being around a variety of different germs, I also am consistent with my preventative measures.
In honor of St Patty’s Day being upon us, let’s chat about our luck. Is a person who seems to rarely get sick lucky, or are they just consistent with prevention? Well, it is true that some people have really great immune systems, which can lead to getting sick less often. I, for one, have built up a very strong immune system as a result of working with children. However, in addition to
Over the past year, we have been reminded of the importance of taking precautions when working to avoid contracting germs that lead to sickness. What are some of these precautions? • Wash your hands regularly: before you eat, after filling up with gas, when you walk in the house from anywhere,... • Remember that hand sanitizer is a great option for when good ‘ol fashioned soap and water washing isn’t an option, but it is not meant to replace washing your hands.
• Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: drink water... If you don’t love plain water, add a couple drops of flavor with some citrus fruits, cucumber, or some flavored drops derived from a natural sources. Hydrating does not include sugary, caffeinated, and/or alcoholic beverages. • Gut Health: Ditch the processed foods, ditch as much sugar as possible, take your probiotics (Some people feel conflicted when it comes to probiotics. Do your own research and determine what works best for you.) • Take your supplements: I didn’t think I needed supplements because I eat a healthy diet and lead a healthy lifestyle. I was wrong. Foods do not hold the same nutrition that they used to. Take your
supplements! • Sleep and don’t stress: easier said than done, I know. Regeneration happens while you sleep. Stress wrecks havoc on your system. • Boost your immune system with other natural products that fit into your lifestyle. So, to answer our question from above... Yes, some people seem to have a bit of luck when it comes to staying healthy, but prevention is key!! Whether or not you consider yourself lucky when it comes to your health, provide your body with what it needs and take proper precautions. Treat your body right!
