You've heard hundreds of stories about COVID-19 by now. And if you're like me you're constantly thinking of ways to avoid contracting the virus, or getting sick at all.
Staying on top of your health isn't always about working out, it's also about working from within.
Without giving you a full assessment, here are some ways that you can help keep your immune system healthy.
SLEEP
Most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep in order to function at their best. Sleeping helps your body recover from illness, and helps prepare it to defend against illness.

Eat + Drink Healthy
It's beneficial to you if your drink tons of water eat whole foods (not the store but the original meaning). Foods that are derived from plants, like vegetables, fruit, whole grains, legumes. Try to keep sugar intake to a minimum, and eat fermented foods because they help with your gut microbiome. Healthy fats are great for you as well.
