(1) Cut way back on all forms of sugar. The amount of sugar in one soft drink suppresses immune function for up to 12 hours.
(2) Minimize high-glycemic carbs. These foods rapidly elevate your blood sugar.
(3) Support a healthy intestinal microbiome with a diet of fresh vegetables and fruits, organic as much as possible, with plenty of prebiotic fiber (feeds the good bacteria in our intestinal tract), small amounts of healthy meats (if you choose to eat meat), and healthy fats.
(4) Take a good-quality, high-potency daily probiotic. Up to 70% - 80% of our immune system is in our intestinal tract!
(5) Get plenty of sleep.
(6) Find effective ways to manage your stress.
