Easy on the dehydrating things like too much coffee
Make foods with immune boosters—garlic, ginger, turmeric, parsley, thyme, sage, etc.
Increase the ZINC in your diet: chickpeas, almonds, cashews, lentils, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, oatmeal

Don’t smoke (it comprises your respiratory system’s defenses
If you have underlying lung issues consider taking Ashwagandha for the next two months
Get some good time outdoors each day, get the sun on your bare skin to activate Vitamin D
Express appreciation out loud to the earth who supports you and your loved ones who love you
Sing outloud, expands lung capacity and the stimulation of the vagal nerve can calm your body’s stress drive
Hold your kids close. They are awesome and won’t be small forever. Even as we are financially challenged, try to see this moment of them being close as a gift
Call your parents if you can and tell them you’re grateful for them
Limit gatherings and if you need to meet, keep it to small family size (6-8 people)
Namaste. No hugs or Hi5.
