Houston “Fitness Czar”, ReSYNC Your Life author, and 4-time #1 Fitness trainer in America Samir Becic, doesn’t play around when it comes to getting- and keeping- people healthy. This is why, in the wake of Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, he’s sharing his best tips for building a strong immune system, which he tweeted out to his followers:
Samir starts “After weeks of researching COVID-19 and following all the information from the most affected countries in their native languages, my advice as a health and fitness professional”
- If you have current health ailments please try to remediate them ASAP. That way, the virus will have less effect on you, even if you contract it.
- For the elder population, boost your immune system to the max with supplements: garlic, zinc, magnesium, vitamins (C, B, D, + E), Omega-3s, elderberry
- Drink lots of water to flush out the toxins
- Get enough sleep to boost your immune system and regenerate your body
- Eat anti-inflammatory foods such as ginger, turmeric, citrus fruits, berries, olive oil
- Exercise regularly- this can be done at home, the key is moving your body and getting the blood flowing
- Stay away from foods that cause inflammation such as alcohol, artificial food additives, sugar, white flours, trans fats…
- Focus on eating immune-boosting foods: leafy greens, fresh vegetables and fruits, garlic
- Most importantly: wash your hands, avoid large crowds, avoid contact with people who are sick, get some sunlight
- P.S. There are many indicators that the obese population is more susceptible and has a more difficult recovery but instilling healthy habits can boost the immune system immediately
