Actively enjoy your meals, whether with family, friends, or alone, as the endorphins released from positive emotions can alter the function of immune cells and nurture regulatory T-cells, thereby supporting immune health.
Learn to say no and establish clear boundaries, especially when commitments compromise personal time, family time, or activities that nurture you, as this helps manage stress and prevents burnout.
Aim to incorporate 30 different plant-based foods into your diet each week, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, beans, pulses, and whole grains, to promote diversity in your gut microbiome, which educates the immune system.
Prioritize consuming fiber, found in fresh produce, nuts, seeds, legumes, beans, pulses, and whole grains, as it is massive for the resilience of your immune system by feeding diverse gut bacteria that produce beneficial postbiotics.
Make conscious dietary choices to improve the health of your gut bacteria, as this directly leads to an improved immune system, given that gut bugs are key educators of the immune system.
Be mindful of chronic stress, as it can interrupt the balance of your immune system by influencing immune cell production and wearing out the stress response circuit, making it harder for your body to produce fresh, new immune cells.
Engage in cathartic activities like writing or creating a narrative around what’s causing stress to facilitate emotional release and help your body move on from the stressor once a decision is made.
Consider taking AG1 daily to support digestion, enrich your gut microbiome with beneficial bacteria, and provide food sources for these bacteria, which are key educators of the immune system.
