Vitamin D
To obtain your daily does of Vitamin (which aids with absorption of calcium and facilitates a healthy immune system) go out for your walks to obtain sunlight. Vitamin D is fat soluble. Our tummies have pretty much the most fat cells in our bodies, so lay out in the sunshine and get out bellies out for 10-15 minutes a day. Wear a hat and/or put sun block on your face!! Brisk walking in the Sunshine creates happy hormone Serotonin. This will also help against Depression.
Stretch
Remember to do some stretching. At the moment are spending more time sitting at the computer doing Zoom and face time sessions and checking out social medial. etc etc. As us Heavenly Hunter Angels are not able to massage you at the moment, take at least 10-15 minutes a day somewhere in your day to stretch legs, arms and neck. If you can squeeze in 30 minutes a day that would be wonderful.
Breathe
When we are stressed, which, let us face it pretty stressful times (!), we tend to hold our breath. Stress, creates actual stress on our adrenal system. It also creates a hormone called “Cortisol” in our body. It builds up and can create belly fat which leads to all sorts of issues. So, when we remember to breathe deeply we can release toxins. By doing deep belly breathing it can help calm the nervous and also the endocrine systems. Thus bringing the body back to homeostasis. You can breathe in for say a count of 5 then hold for count of 2 and out for count of 7 hold and repeat. You can count to what is comfortable for you as long as the out breath is longer than the in.

Anti inflammatory Diet
When we have any type of dis-ease in our bodies inflammation is brought on. To help our bodies be in a top condition to ward off dis-ease we can help by having an anti inflammatory diet. Basically it is easy to reach for not so great food when we a stuck at home. We actually do have time now to make healthy, delicious, nutritious meals. Keep up your fresh fruit and Vegetables. Fish (salmon particularly), nuts, flaxseed), lean meat (a couple of times a week). If you can try some vegetarian options to give your digestive system a rest. There are different legumes we can make into yummy curries which use great anti inflammatory spices like cumin and turmeric. If you can add plenty of fresh garlic and ginger! Lots of lovely healthy oils, Extra Virgin, cold pressed olive oils – plenty around this region! And 1-2 glasses of red wine here and there. J Not too much. And plenty of fresh water. Best Rule – fresh is best. Give the pre-packaged stuff a miss.
