Boosting Immune System

[zoomzx11]

Diet and exercising since teenage years.
One men's vitamin a day since early 20's.
Height to weight ratio well within the appropriate range. Proper amount of calorie intake daily. Better chance of being run over by an ambulance chaser than dying of influenza.

You are ignore this is a "novel virus"?
Novel means new. No one has encountered this virus and no one has immunity.
No good science on why some do not get sick, some really sick, some dead.
The amount of viral load you ingest may be related to your degree of illness
It would seem that the better your health equals you getting some benefit but no one knows for sure.
Nothing much on if you the disease a second time or no.
Only one thing works near 100%

I will continue to live my healthy lifestyle and enjoy my
healthy immune system as I sit back watching all those
unhealthy diabetic sloths meet their maker.
More fear mongering drivel from those who know best?
Thanks but no thanks buddy. I will out live you.

You don’t need to eat tasteless and bland foods/drinks. You just need to find a natural alternative to the ones that are not good for your health.

The biggest mistake people do when altering their diets is to stop eating much of everything. It’s not about not eating much at all, or fewer choices.

A balanced natural diet just means eating smarter and healthier. They will be much, much more tastier than anything you had before.

Eating smart also means eating enough to support your metabolism. You can’t cut calories input and expect the body to adjust to it overnight. You just need to balance the types of foods you eat, so each complements or restricts the other.

This is the same as your pharmacist does when you fill prescriptions. They check for adverse ones that don’t mix well and make adjustments based on that.

They are foods that act as diuretics, take lots of water out of your body. Others would promote better sleeping, migraine reduction, etc...

You can create the best plan based on your own tastes and likes. After that is only about being consistent when stocking the right items in your kitchen. The rest is the easiest part as you like all of it.

Add to that the simplest and most rewarding of exercises: Walking!
That’s all you need folks for a healthier living.
The rest is just added bonuses, depending on choices.

The best part of all this, you’re in the right country to enjoy a full natural diet!

And therein lies the rub. The "W" word.

I have really screwed up knees due to a nasty fall down some stairs a few years back.

Truthfully? It's an easy excuse and somewhat valid. Also, last year I was walking for an hour every morning until my knees started acting up again. Add a little bit of morning rain to the rational, and I came to a dead stop.

Hopefully, this will be the year I finally get off my fat butt and start again.

I know - baby steps.

One step at a time. No need to run!

Best way to strengthen your knees, is to tie a weight (light) to your shoes and kick the leg from a seating position a few times a day.
After a week or two, you’ll notice extra firmness as you stand a walk and less impact in your knees.

Then you can start by making short walks around your property twice a day. After a week or two you can venture into the street for around the block walks.

It’s something most people don’t do.

It has to start first by conditioning your body, much like we condition vehicles left seating for a long time before we take them for a spin.

After you condition your body enough for longer walks, you’ll never be idling again in your sofa.

JD, I walk between 10-14 miles a day. You're welcome to join me!

My daughter was lees than 30 when she contracted Lymphoma.
At that age, they really 'up' the chemo dose....

She has a background in drug/health care
She worked for a global marketing company - branding/imaging specialists
Just one account she handled - Pfizer -- her company's largest US account
She learned a lot watching all the tests etc

So, when her time came - she prepared.
Veggies smoothies, fruit ones, the greener the veg the better.....
She redesigned her diet to cope.
Did so to the point the nurses asked what she was doing to withstand the chemo better than others.

Sure, she lost her hair and all but overall, she did well

Google her - CCWebster or websterworks.com
I think the diet is there.

Me?
My melanoma treatment was Immunotherapy.... I got the HUGE boost !! Chemically
Keytruda.... google Jimmy Carter

As is being written here - there are many, natural ways to boost your immune system

Are you ordering on amazon or are these available in DR? Thanks

did I say or imply they were all from booze? Imply they are not different?
If so it was not my intent.

There is a very large number of different liver diseases different causes.
Liver does a lot of work

It wasn't you who made the comment, and it wasn't you I responded to?????

These are great for when you are not wanting the full fresh natural way. They are dried and still natural.

I got so used to fresh ingredients to cook, that it has become a natural step for me.

In the DR eating natural is about as effortlessly as eating fast foods overseas.
Even white frying cheese from Sousa is all natural!

I used to love eating out, but ever since I took into cooking fresh and natural meals, I can honestly detect by taste and texture foods that are everything but fresh or natural.

You can taste the difference and feel it in the texture of the foods in your mouth.

I can still recall the day I tossed into the garbage 🗑 bin all the salt, sugar, chemical based ultra processed foods and even oils.

I cleared my pantry and refrigerator so well, that I ended up with only one door of storage with the left stuff. Not to mention an empty fridge.

I did a looooooot of research on many foods and cooking/kitchen equipment that would enable my natural choices of cooking.

I buy my meat fresh daily, same for fruits and vegetables which I purchase about every three days. The icebox is now good for ice cubes and Bon ice creams.

When I need grounded beef or chicken, I buy at the counter and have it grounded after leaning the cuts.

Fresh breads don’t get any better than Lumijor at Rafael Vidal.

My most prized cooking equipment is my Zojirushi Japanese rice cooker. It’s perfect for brown natural rice.

Change your cooking to full natural and your body and health will show you quickly how big a difference it is.

You’ll become a discriminating food critic after that! LOL 😂

I actually only use them on eggs or in soups. You sound like you finally saw the light, and started eating for life.

Using a step counter helps as well, you can start slowly doing around 5000 steps a day and work your way up daily going a little more until you up to 20,000 or so.

A friend sent this to me earlier today.
Interesting information regarding the immune system
and Covid treatment.

Great way to start.. and after getting off the couch, and doing the long walks...join a good gym (when they are open again) find a good trainer... start very slow.. the beginning is the most important time, as thats when most people quit... after a few months of say 4 times a week, you will notice a huge difference in the way you feel, physical and mental...after that most people look forward to going and working out, as I do...I have been doing this gym workout for over 35 years...It also makes you feel younger, that probably explains my girlfriends, and thats a good thing........

Actually the figures provided from mortality rate and those that were infected tells us that people with good health tended to do much better fending off the serious effects than less healthier individuals.

The figures are like day and night for the two groups.

My wife's cousin, who is 72 years old and has spent the better part of the last ten years sick with something, having had a kidney removed, three feet of her large intestine removed...etc had a son in law get sick with covid. Since they lived with her and her husband they all got tested. According to the tests my wife's cousin had already had the virus and recovered. Her daughter didn't get the virus and her husband didn't get it either. Their 21 year old granddaughter that also lives there didn't get the virus either.

It sounds impossible and completely improbable that people sharing the same house with a Covid infected person do not also get infected. I suppose with diligent cleaning and isolation of the sick the risks can be reduced but that is not easily accomplished here or anywhere else without completely separate living spaces for the sick and the currently healthy. This idea defies the way this infectious virus spreads. I would be more inclined to believe that the non-infected people had testing errors or were tested before the virus was detectable in them even if asymptomatic. Based on the amount of time it takes for the body to fight off this infection, being exposed to a sick person in the same house breathing the same air and touching the same things, for days on end, one just has to be exposed to the virus at some point. What happens next is up to one's immune system and some degree of luck.

5000!!!! ARE YOU NUTS!?!?!?!?

LOL

As I mentioned in my post, when I was walking before I did the little by little approach to get up to 1 hour so all of you are preaching to the choir.

My only problem is mental, and I'm gonna get over just like every thing else.

Well you would be wrong. We even have an one of our members that covid and her husband didn't. Did you ever stop to think some people don't get it because of their immune system. 6 out of ten children will not get it because of antibodies already in their system. I don't give a rats ass what you believe.
