10 Effective Ways to Boost Your Immunity and Survive Covid-19 | How to Survive Covid-19.
1. Control your anxiety. Anxiety is simply your body signaling danger. It is the sensation generated by elevations of your stress hormones, activation of the sympathetic nervous system, elevated Pro-I’s, and the inflammatory reaction. It is not a “psychological issue,” although mental threats are more likely to over-stimulate the nervous system than physical ones. With the correct approach, it is solvable.
2. Optimal sleep. At least seven hours a night of restful sleep lowers your threat response and inflammation.
3. Expressive writing. You can’t control your thoughts and emotions but writing them down, tearing them up and discarding the paper separates you from them. The practice has a remarkable impact on both mental and physical symptoms.
4. Avoid anger. Anger creates a powerful neurochemical reaction with marked elevations of Pro-I’s and inflammation. There is no shortcut to overcoming anger but it needs to be dealt with quickly. You also must address your deepest wounds. Do you want the person or situation you hate to be what ultimately kills you? Who would win?
5. Healthy eating. This can make a remarkable difference in lowering Pro-I cytokines. This is a separate goal than from losing weight.
6. Stay calm and relax.
Limit watching the news.
Avoid watching violent and over-stimulating shows, especially at night. Just witnessing violence will increase Pro-I’s (ref).
Stop negative talk, such as complaining, gossiping, discussing your medical problems or care, giving unasked-for-advice, and criticism.
7. Regular exercise.
At least 30 minutes a day.
Moderate and enjoyable.
8. Control medical problems.
Control your diabetes.
Take your blood pressure and cardiac meds.
Comply with all of your recommended medical treatments.
Stay in touch with your doctor, even about issues you consider minor.
9. Sort out family issues. Families trigger each other, but there are effective ways to create structure that will minimize conflict.
Living in chaos is not only unpleasant; it also has a negative impact on your health.
Your family is usually the source of your biggest triggers.
Be nice! Any member of your family who feels trapped is at higher risk for an illness or chronic disease.
10. Play. Having fun is one of the most powerful ways to stimulate the production of Anti-I’s and relaxation hormones.
