Immunity Juice from the Yoga Girl® Kitchen

For a serious immune boost, we have turned to the big guns of the plant world to help keep our immune systems strong and supported during these strange and recent unsettling times with the recent escalation of the Coronavirus.

The best way we know how to combat viruses is to have a healthy immune system, and there are so many components that need to be taken into consideration.

Immune system health is related to how healthy our lifestyles are, the foods we eat, our sleep, stress, and so much more.

While it is hard to not be stressed with everything going on with COVID-19, try to remember that worrying can contribute to a more weakened immune system . Do what you need to do to relax, we are all in this together. Although things may seem scary right now, do your best to care for yourself and stay in a peaceful mindset.

When you start to feel stressed, try to pause and take a moment to calm yourself. Put your phone down, close your computer, and connect with your heart. Take a few deep breaths and think of something you are grateful for. Keep doing this until you begin to feel a sense of peace coming into your being. Do whatever it takes during the day to bring yourself back to this state!

Sleep is also very important. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, and rest during the day if you need to as well. Listen to your body and practice sweet self-care whenever you need to rest. These are strange times and it is so important to take care of your mental, emotional, and physical body.

If you are feeling super anxious and have a lot of energy, move your body.

Practice yoga online if you can’t get to a studio. We have so many wonderful classes on yogagirl.com designed for self-care, self-love, meditations, pranayama, and go-to Vinyasa flows to move the energy around and keep your mind, heart, and spirit strong and aligned with peace.
