74: How to Optimize Your Immune System to Prevent Respiratory Infections (Veggie Doctor Radio)

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I talk about recently getting the flu, what factors are involved in catching a respiratory infection and what we can actually do to decrease our risk of getting sick.

 

What I discuss in this episode:

Factors involved in catching a respiratory infection:

Exposure

Your antibodies

External factors that affect your physiology - stress, sleep, exercise, diet, mindset

How to decrease your risk of getting sick

Decrease your exposure and practice contact precautions

Get adequate sleep

Get regular exercise

Eat an antioxidant rich diet and stay hydrated

Keep a positive mindset

What to do if you get sick:

Watch for emergency symptoms - unexplained pain, difficulty breathing, dehydration, severe headache, call your provider

Rest

Stay hydrated

Honor your appetite

Stay away from the public - please dont spread and sanitize
