If you want to take your health into your own hands, the first thing on your list should be focusing on boosting your immune system. What science hasn’t understood until lately is that between 70% to 80% of your immune system is located in your gut. Things like balancing your microbiome, eating a clean and healthy diet, avoiding sugar and processed foods, and in general, healing your gut with essential nutrients can have a profound effect on your resiliency and immune system health. But there are other factors beside what you put into your body that have immune boosting effects as well, such as what you do, and how you think and the amount of stress in your life.
Overall wellness is truly a combination of mind, body and spirit all working together so we have curated list of things you can do to start to flip your immune system including nutritional, physical and mindset practices. We suggest starting with nutrition as the lead, because what you put into your body will help flip your energy levels, which in turn flips and motivation and mood.
Add the simple things you can do every day then level up and think about adopting some of the other practices along your journey to optimum immunity and health.
