A Journey into Thought & Spirit

Most Simple Lemon + Ginger Immune-boosting Tea: COVID 19 Vitamin C Recommendations

3/4/2020

Seattle has been interesting the last couple of weeks. This week in particular with the spread of COVID 19 in Kirkland. The retirement homes I work at have gone on quarantine so that means no fitness classes for residents and no work for me. Many clients have cancelled their training hoping to avoid any contact with possible germ-filled locations. 

​Many corporations have requested people to work from home as a preventative. Smart? Yes. But what many people do not realize that exercise and many natural foods are immune boosters.

Most people today misunderstand the human body. Thanks to the growth of the medical industry, people understand the human anatomy in separate pieces or from the lens of pharmaceuticals. Most people do not understand the human body is like a garden. It is its own vast and complex eco-system that has the ability to regenerate. 

​Many people do not live healthy lives. They have stressful jobs, don't exercise and eat out a lot. Some do smoke marijuana as well as consume alcohol on a frequent basis. 

Working from home is great, but unless one secludes themselves to the four walls of their apartment it is impossible to avoid the public. During this time, it is important to boost immunity through moderate exercise as well as through whole / natural foods. 

Recent research published from greenmedinfo.com states that Vitamin C is beneficial for COVID 19. It may not be a cure, but it can help boost immunity and those who had the virus in Asia have found positive effects on people who recovered from the virus. Vitamin C also aided other viruses like pneumonia and influenza. 

Fresh Lemon Ginger tea boosts immunity, acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and relies nausea and digestion. Lemon is an ideal source of Vitamin C and ginger contains gingerol, a
 bioactive compound that exhibits strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects.

During this time, moderate exercise and consuming more whole foods prepared at home will maintain immunity. 

Greenmedinfo.com also suggests, "
start taking vitamin C right away; at least 3 grams a day, spread right across the day. That's a 1,000 milligram capsule every 8 hours, or a level teaspoon of powder dissolved in a pint or so of water, drank all through the day."

This is really helpful to boost our immune system especially this time where COVID-19 was already pandemic. We really need to help our immune system to be strong to be able to fight the virus. We must avoid to be stressed and we must have a daily routine to exercise our body and our mind. Though we are under quarantine, I'm fortunate enough to have the privilege to have a sun exposure early in the morning to also help my immune system. I also take vitamins and make sure to still communicate with my friends and families online. Let us help one another to get through this hard time.

Having ginger and lemon tea at this time when such a virus is around us is a good choice. It is better for boosting our immunity. What other foods can we add to our diet to boost our immunity?
