7. Drink lots and lots of water. All of life’s functions take place in water and it flushes your system, washing out toxins as it rehydrates you. 8. Do cardio exercises regularly. Cardio forces the body to pump more oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. This helps to eliminate waste and produce more of the body’s natural virus-killing cells. 9. Take nutritional supplements. Due to stress, food degradation, the environment and other factors, the foods you eat may be missing important nutrients. 10. Recover Post-Workout. Working out produces free radicals, causing oxidative stress which can damage otherwise healthy cells. Drinking a recovery shake within 30 minutes of your workout floods your body with antioxidants which clobber free radicals. EAT WELL! Healthy eating isn’t a single lifestyle decision, it’s thousands of daily choices that add up over time. Nutrition Quarterly · 2020 – Volume 3 13
