How To Boost Your Immune System: Foods And Strategies

boost immune systemI’m eager to share with you how to boost your immune system – because now more than ever you need the right foods and health strategies to improve your overall health!

As you might know, I’m a late in life mom – who had a miracle baby at age 50.

I later told my son I’d do everything I could to live to 100.

He asked me to live to 200 – but I bargained him down.

He accepted my counteroffer.

I then went on a 2 year quest to learn everything I could about how to live longer, younger, healthier.

So I interviewed our world’s top aging experts and best doctors – plus read piles of fascinating health research.

How To Boost Your Immune System: Foods And StrategiesAfterwards I began following everything I learned.

My doctor then told me that at age 59 1/2, I happily have the blood work of someone 20 years younger!

So I turned all this cutting edge knowledge into a bestselling book, Life is Long.

I’m telling you this first to let you know my background.

I’m a research geek on health, the immune system and longevity.

Plus, I am someone who follows these important health recommendations – to great success!

boost immune systemSo I’m excited to give you these research-based immunity tips (BELOW) – so you’re at your best health for preventing and managing infection.

As you know, presently there are no specific cures for Coronavirus.

I’m simply sharing these research-based health recommendations (below) to boost your overall health and improve your immune system.

As always, please check with your doctor before trying any new health recommendation – especially if you have pre-existing health issues!

How To Boost Your Immune System

1. Get your vitamin D!

Vitamin D is called “the sunshine vitamin” – and famous for helping the immune system.

It’s especially important for people who are unable to go outside now – due to quarantine.

Now more than ever you’ll want to load up on Vitamin D rich foods – like eggs and sardines.

Plus, take a Vitamin D3 supplement – one which has a balance of Vitamin K2, which helps the supplement work at its best.

==> I recommend this Vitamin D3 & K2 Supplement – in liquid form – from a reliable supplement company! <==

Oh – and it’s possible to have too much vitamin D. So don’t over-do the recommended d on the bottle! 🙂

2. Choose immune-boosting foods!

  • Red peppers

It’s important you pick red colored peppers – not green, yellow or orange.

Red peppers contain twice as much vitamin C as citrus, and are rich in beta carotene.

They’re reported to boost your immune system – plus help your vision and skin to be healthier.

  • Broccoli, spinach, kale, spirulina, chlorella

Each of these greens are super helpful for immunity.

Enjoy them at their most powerful, by cooking the ones you eat lightly – or not at all.

==> I also take this all-in-one, nutrient-rich, truly-super Supergreens – as a supplement! <==

I love having this shelf-stable supply of greens in my home, in case food supplies of veggies are tough to get.

  • Citrus fruits

Vitamin C is famously recommended when you catch a cold, because it’s thought to increase the production of white blood cells – which are key to fighting infections and boosting the immune system.

So be sure to eat a variety of citrus fruits – and/or take a supplement.

(Thankfully you can’t over-do Vitamin C. It flushes right out of you.)

==> I recommend this terrific fat soluble Vitamin C supplement – from a reliable company! <==

  • Probiotics

I recommend eating yogurts or kefirs which say “live and active cultures” printed on their label.

These cultures are reported to help boost your immune system.

Plus, I recommend getting them “plain”- so they’re not loaded with sugar. Sweeten them yourself with fruits and honey.

==> I also take this awesome probiotic! <==

It’s the only probiotic which keeps me “regular” (wink, wink.)

  • Garlic

Garlic has been reported to lower blood pressure and slow down hardening of the arteries and help in general to boost the immune system.

I love to roast a whole garlic clove in the oven (in a muffin pan) with a little olive oil and seasonings.

Just make sure everybody in your family eats some – so nobody complains about anybody’s garlic breath! 🙂

==> I also use and love this terrific garlic supplement! <==

  • Shelf Stable Proteins like Almonds, Beans, Peas, Etc

I know that meat plants now are reporting issues – so I’ve been stocking up on plant-based proteins – which can be stored indefinitely.

Protein plays a big role in your immune health.

Many nuts like “almonds” offer healthy fats and vitamin E – a recommended vitamin for a healthy immune system.

==> Our family loves these yummy nuts – because they’re always fresh & tasty! <==

  • Green Tea

Green teas are packed with flavonoids and EGCG, powerful antioxidants reported to improve your immune system.

Plus Green Teas are a good source of the amino acid L-theanine – which has been reported to aid in the production of germ-fighting compounds in your T-cells.

==> We love this delicious Green Tea – because it’s blended with Matcha & Sencha – plus ethically sourced! <==

  • Turmeric

Turmeric is not only a key ingredient in curries – it’s been used for years as an anti-inflammatory in treating both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Studies report that high concentrations of curcumin, which gives turmeric its distinctive color, are good for muscles and overall health.

==> I recommend this awesome Turmeric tea – which is blended with ginger – by a medicinal tea company <==

3. Avoid Sugar and Processed Foods!

Sugar and processed foods are infamous for being bad for your health – for many reasons.

Basically, they create inflammation in the body – which then predisposes you to a variety of illnesses.

It’s more important now – more than ever – to make sure you’re not binging on sugary or processed foods!

I know that stressful times – like this pandemic – can lead to stress eating.

Your health and immune system matter now – more than ever!
