CHEW THOROUGHLY
Did you know that your first line of defense against viral and bacterial pathogens is stomach acid!?!  By chewing your food thoroughly ~ at least 20 chomps per mouthful ~ you will stimulate gastric juices which are essential to not only breaking food down, but to also killing off pathogens before they can lead to symptomatic infection.
STAY HYDRATED & EAT REAL FOOD
Clean water & whole foods are the most optimal way to provide your body with the nutrients it needs to keep your immune system strong.
Fill up your plate with an abundance of colorful organic veggies & fruits, wild caught seafood, pasture-raised meat, poultry and eggs + quality fats. Incorporate natural anti-viral foods & herbs into your diet like ginger, garlic, oregano, echinacea, elderberry, cats claw, calendula, olive leaf, licorice root & astragalus root.
Avoid fast, cheap, processed & refined foods as these stimulate inflammation and over-burden your immune system so that it can't defend against illness. CLICK HERE for a guide to stocking your pantry with nourishing foods.

GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO UNWIND AND REST
