Covid mitigation strategies

Always good but feeling particularly thankful for them this week!! My partner contracted covid after a recent trip, but because he masked around me and our kids constantly after getting home (as we usually do after such trips for 7 days), ate in a separate room with the door closed, and ran air purifiers—he was able to protect our whole household during the most infectious stage, which was before he was showing any symptoms but testing with a bright positive. (He developed symptoms the next day, which would have been too late to protect us if he hadn’t been masking and testing already.) It’s now day 9 since his positive and no one else is sick—still technically possible but the odds look good. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 There’s nothing hotter than sacrificing a little convenience to save your loved ones (or anyone) from physical suffering… plus in the case of covid, potential complications or even chronic disability. It works!!! 👏🏻

Sleep and eating well

Immune systems rarely need a boost, they just need the tools to function a peak performance. The number one way to kneecap your immune system is to not get sufficient sleep. Flu vaccines have been shown to be dramatically less effective when sleep deprived individuals took them. Your body needs 7-8 hours, full stop. Supplements are a racket. Most are concentrated doses of micro-nutrients that your system immediately flushes because they're not in a form your body can absorb effectively. You get these nutrients best through whole foods. Want vitamin c? Eat an orange. Increase the amount and variety of fruits and veggies in your diet. Two side comments: Rain/getting wet does not cause colds. Neither does eating/drinking cold foods, another misconception I have heard. However, cold, dry air (like from an AC) does dry out our sinuses which makes us more vulnerable to cold viruses. Getting outside and drinking warm drinks (like the teas deardoveswings suggests with helpful herbs) will keep our mucus membranes hydrated and effective barriers against contagions. Finally, COVID is still around and we are in the latest wave. Avoid crowed indoor venues when you can. Wear a mask when you can't. Especially if traveling on planes.

Move your body. Go outside. Get off your phone.

Movement is proven to help with depression. It doesn't have to be a long time or anything intense. Stretch or do yoga or just move your body in any old way that feels good, even if it seems weird. Even better if you do it outside (get that vitamin D!) Put your phone away and get off SM. Do something that doesn't involve looking at a screen. Be in the real world. I swear it helps.
