The Truth Is...

There are viruses out there. Information flows 24/7 non-stop. And, it’s difficult to decipher “the truth”.

Confusion causes panic. Panic causes mental/emotional stress. And, stress wrecks the human immune system.

So how do humans optimize the immune system in defense of viruses? There 5 fundamentals of a resilient immune system.

1. Sleep Cycle – consistent sleep time and wake time

2. Nutrition – a balanced and whole nutritional plan; minimize SUGAR!!!

3. Exercise – regular daily/weekly stamina, strength, and stretch training.

4. Physical Body Care – daily/weekly/monthly foam roll/lacrosse ball rolling, stretching, massage, chiropractic alignments, acupuncture, etc.

5. Mental Relaxation – decreasing mental/emotional stress through positive outlets

These 5 fundamentals have been required even before Corona.

It’s vitally relevant during Corona. And, will be forever essential “after” Corona.

These 5 fundamentals are absolute irregardless of Corona virus, Influenza virus, or the common cold.

The truth is, we don’t have any control over any virus. No control over any policy maker. And, no control over other people not wearing a face mask.

But, we do have control over how we think, what we focus on, and how we behave. How we remain even keeled mentally and emotionally. And, how we stay consistently active physically.

The truth is, our health is our own responsibility. Each person is responsible for their own 5 fundamentals. Focus on your thoughts and your healthy actions.

Don’t just survive… THRIVE!
