Take control of your health and well-being. Empower yourself with nutrient-dense foods and strengthening habits. Gradual, consistent steps will get you where you want to go, sometimes quicker than you can imagine.
1. Reduce Sugar -- Sugar weakens you. Excess sugar leads to inflammation, reduced immunity, and the proliferation of harmful bacteria. In addition, refined sugar products deplete important minerals, such as magnesium and calcium, needed for strength and endurance.
2. Eat Mushrooms -- Mushrooms stimulate the production and activity of white blood cells, making them beneficial for fighting infection. Rich in B vitamins, vitamin D, and selenium, mushrooms will help keep you strong, happy and healthy. Delicious shiitake, maitake, cremini, and portabella mushrooms all contain immune-enhancing nutrients.
3. Detoxify -- Boost your body's natural detoxification system by incorporating seaweed, beets, greens, probiotic foods,and cruciferous vegetables into your diet. Releasing toxins will help you clear your focus, boost your energy, and strengthen your immune system.
4. Drink Tea -- Both green and black tea contain L-theanine, which helps strengthen immunity. By dunking your tea bag up and down during brewing, you increase the release of antioxidants.
5. Spice Up Your Diet -- Use immune boosters such as cinnamon, garlic, turmeric, clove, oregano and ginger. These spices, and many more, are a delicious way to protect yourself from illness.
6. Express Gratitude -- Writing a daily gratitude list will help you feel happier, and more optimistic about your life.
7. Use EFT Tapping -- EFT Tapping will help you release weakening thoughts and feelings. EFT is also effective for boosting feelings of courage and self-confidence.
8. Sleep -- Sleep deprivation is linked to lower immunity, inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and diminished brain function. 7-9 hours of sleep daily will help strengthen your entire body and mind.
9. Meditate -- Even if it's for 5 minutes a day. Regular meditation will help you tap into your inner source of power.
10. Spark Your Creativity -- Take creative breaks to explore your talents and abilities. Allow yourself time and space to express your creativity. Honoring your gifts will help you feel joyful and recharged
11. Create a Success Jar -- Keep a stack of scrap paper to write down your successes. Include small, medium and big successes in all areas of your life. Keep at it, and you'll begin to realize how successful you truly are! The more successful you feel, the more success you'll create for your life.
12. Move Your Body -- Move your body in a way that feels good. Get your limbs, muscles, joints, and lymph going. Regular physical activity will help keep you strong, and flexible.
13. Volunteer -- Volunteer your time for a meaningful project. Volunteering is an excellent way to develop your skills and talents. Volunteering in the way that's right for you, can give you a powerful sense that you really can make a difference in the world.
14. Enjoy Your Morning Ritual -- For a daily boost of power, enhance your morning ritual with activities such as meditation, yoga, journaling, or walking. Dedicate time to connect with yourself, before the onslaught of daily distractions.
15. Let Go -- Let go of activities, habits, circumstances, and worries which drain your power. Make a list, and begin today.
