Boosting Your Immune System Right Now

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">COVID-19, or Coronavirus, is the word on everyone’s mind right now. But how can you support yourself and your loved ones during this crisis? I’m joined by</span> <a href="https://drkellyann.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Kellyann Petrucci</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to talk about how we can boost our immune systems and become better humanitarians right now.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The single most important thing we can do during this uncertain time is to be a better humanitarian. Human connection, even virtual, is so important, as it increases oxytocin, the happiness hormone, which helps to strengthen our immune system. Please, please be a good person, help your community where you can, and share as much love as you can.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Kellyann and I talk about some of the ways you can help boost your immune system are right now. Starting with sleep, it’s essential that you prioritize getting 7-8 hours a night. Kellyann also explains why you shouldn’t eat sugar and how it actually harms your immune system - yes, even a little bit.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We also talk about burn-out. This is especially important during these times when you genuinely do want to be there for others and help them. It’s important to care for yourself first and foremost. Say no more than you say yes, but never close down your heart and love.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kellyann shares the advice her dad gave her: Dare to be great every day. This is such a wonderful thought that I want to share with you all to take to heart. Loving yourself and filling any holes in your soul with your own love and kindness, being great every day, and sharing your truth is how we get through this, together.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How can you be a better humanitarian right now?
