Let’s face it, this world is going through a crisis that is affecting lives, businesses, economies, and etc. we are told that nothing works better than taking isolation precautions. We are locked behind doors with only one thing to do: stay healthy.
Schools and daycares closing down causes uncertainty and even anxiety for families with children. It is a real struggle for big families to supply children with meals at home. That also leaves many jobless. People are stocking up on toilet papers and other essentials. While others fill up their cupboards with immune-boosting supplements.
It is a powerful blessing to be able to control the fear with the help of our Lord. He is our best hope at overcoming the unknown.
It is only a matter of time before the coronavirus pandemic withdraws and we get back to living a normal life. In the meantime, there’s actually one critical action we have to take. Building and supporting a bulletproof immune system will keep you and others around you safe.
There are plenty of other stores besides Target and Walmart that still have water, produce, and supplements on their shelves. The key is to find a local, preferably organic store that has the right immune-boosting supplements available for you. They come in drops, capsules, or even syrups and will leave you feeling like a superhero.
During our quarantine, we made sure to have all sorts of immune-boosting vitamins and foods. I’ve included a photo of our everyday essentials. We also make sure that Josie gets her daily dose of vitamins. The supplements that our 18 month old takes come as syrups to avoid a choking hazard. They are actually quite tasty. The elderberry syrup gets added to her water bottle, herbal tea, and bedtime nosh. It makes the liquids turn a lavender color and tastes like berry juice. The propolis drops also occur in her herbal tea. I make sure to include the maple syrup as a tea sweetener. She loves it. We love it.
My husband and I take the rest of the supplements on the photo. I have to inform you that the most horrible tasting one has to be the oregano oil. I force it down my throat as I cringe like there’s no tomorrow. It’s so bad but so good for you.
A great way of consuming “bad” bacteria fighting foods is by eating fresh garlic, lemons, ginger, and turmeric. I’m sure there are more foods of such but these are the ones that we prefer. Add these ingredients to your meals consistently. It doesn’t have to be a lot of it, a little goes a long way. The kick will come in after.
“Good” bacteria actually helps stimulate your immune system so that it’s ready to fight off anything that comes its way. We take our probiotics through kombucha, as well as “gut shots”.
Now that we are healthy humans and our energy levels are super high, we need to stay active! We clean, play inside, play outside, eat, play some more, eat again. I try to keep Josie busy by including her in yoga stretches, cleaning and cooking. She includes me in coloring, building blocks, nannying her dolls, and washing her bum.
Stay safe out there. Take your vitamins❤️
