So here we are already, nearly at the end of week 3 and most of you have made substantial progress to say the least, a big congratulations to you all on that. Had an email from simon in chicago yesterday, he las lost 11 pounds already and he thinks another 10 pounds will make him very close to his goal weight, which i was very pleased about.
Sorry to hear cyril and jean are not feeling well, this is sad as they are usually highly active and very valuable tothis blog!
So today’s post, i would like to tell you what happens if i ever get struck down by something like that, and thankfully it doesn’t happen to often!!! One day off work in 12 years!
Anyway, here’s what i do. I buy a whole lemon, some manuka honey, and some warm water, and sometimes i even eat the skin of the lemon, and i know most of you wouldn’t do that as its so bitter, but it works for me!
Then as a defence for all of this coming in the first place, i tend to make sure my immune system is very strong to begin with.
I always make sure i have nuts in the house, brazils, walnuts, cashews, almonds which are great for the immune system.
I always make sure i have plenty of fruit in the house, blueberries, strawberries, pears, apples, bananas, oranges etc, which again, are fantastic for our immune systems.
I consume all of these daily and never miss, as well as consuming as much veg as possible, from different sources.
To further boost my immune system, i get to bed early and try to get good quality sleep, even with a new baby in the house, its that vital to me!
To boost my immune system further, i don’t smoke of course, or eat much rubbish at all, and i never drink in the week at all, never!
Another good immune system trick is to always have at least one day off a week off from training, exercise is a very positive thing for your immune system, but if you overdo it, it can overload it and it breaks down, and then you get sick.
I try to keep things simple as you all know, so i don’t rely on medical drugs, and paracetemol etc if i possibly can, and try to rely on nature’s way of looking after ourselves.
Give it a go, it’s a positive way for you all and you know deep down, it’s going to have a positive effect.
Have a great saturday, enjoy the game later, and get out and plan something active for tomorrow, i know it makes you all feel great after a leisurely saturday!
Keri
