3 Uncommon Ways to Boost Your Immune System
Immune health is a big topic right now, so we’re here to help!
What can you do to help yourself? People typically look outside themselves for the support; Vitamin C, multivitamins, elderberry, the list goes on. Are these things ineffective? No. But what can you do to stack the odds in your favor to make sure these other supplements work?
Check out these 3 overlooked ways to boost your immune system…
Build a Better Aerobic Base
Modulate stress by conditioning in the 60%-75/80% zone of your max heart rate.
This aerobic zone “gives more than it takes”; and allows you to train harder (and buffer stress) in the future.
Avoid Constantly Cutting Calories
People typically believe they're supposed to eat less and workout more when their goal is to lose weight. But what effect does that have on the body and the immune system?
If you're looking to drop fat, in a healthy and sustainable way, while keeping your immune system strong, try cycling between eating more and eating less relative to your activity.
Please consult with your physician (and coach) when working on these nutritional strategies.
Improve Your Sleep Quality and Quantity
For your hormones to be optimal, and for your immune system to function properly, you need sleep! When working to improve sleep quality or quantity, it's helpful to start small so you gain more confidence to continue to catch more Z’s.
