Epi 14: CORONAVIRUS: How I'm Preparing My Body In Case I Get It
I have been asked by many of you how I\u2019m prepping my body in case I get the virus. Honestly though, it\u2019s more about just sticking with your healthy habits. I\u2019m sharing my diet, supplement routine, and why I\u2019m taking it easy on my workouts.\xa0
My own personal history prepared me in the best way for this pandemic. After dealing with extreme inflammation several years ago, I made huge dietary changes that I have maintained since. I eat a very anti-inflammatory diet which is what we all need right now.\xa0
My supplement routine hasn\u2019t changed much either. With increased time inside, I have upped the amount of vitamin D that I take and I\u2019ve added in quercetin, but other than that I\u2019m taking my regular supplement regimen. Listen in as I share exactly what that is.\xa0
Scientists have now found that the virus thrives in bodies that are already high in inflammation. Take every precaution to remove inflammation. Don\u2019t drink alcohol, remove sugars, stop buying processed pastas and breads. Try to eat as healthfully as possible during this time.\xa0
Also, don\u2019t make it a point to kill yourself in your workouts. It\u2019s important to keep moving but now is not the time to be maxing out every single day. All that will do is break you down when you need to be at your peak.
For me personally, not much has changed with regard to my diet, exercise, or supplements, but if you haven\u2019t already started on an anti-inflammatory meal plan, now is the time.\xa0
