Take a few minutes today to boost your immune system!
Whether it’s the middle of flu season, you’re feeling a little under the weather, or you just want to make sure you don’t catch anything this year, it’s always a good idea to have your immune system in top working condition.
Stress, unfortunately, can depress your immune system and leave you prone to catching things.
When your body is in “fight or flight,” which happens in response to most day-to-day stressors, it can’t focus on things like healing and repairing your body.
So, today’s video will help you:
- Relax and de-stress
- Switch your nervous system out of “fight or flight” mode to “rest and healing” mode
- Boost your immune cell count
All so your body can help protect you from getting sick.
The video will lead you through breathing, tapping, and acupressure that you can repeat anytime you want to boost your immune system.
