The British Dietetic Association recently published a statement
Simply put, you cannot “boost” your immune system through diet, and no specific food or supplement will prevent you catching COVID-19 / Coronavirus. Good hygiene practice remains the best means of avoiding infection.”
In this solo episode I talk about why it's important to stick to a healthy lifestyle and how it's not just about nutrition but understanding the 4 pillars of health and ensuring equal balance across all four - Sleep, Exercise, Nutrition and Relaxation.
So whilst there's no official vaccine against the Corona Virus to provide immunity, we can still work on improving ourselves more and more each day to put our bodies in the best situation for optimal health.
Moving onto an often overlooked topic of gut health and if this is unbalanced it could be inhibiting your progress again both physically and mentally. Why we should be eating a wide range of whole plant based foods and the benefits it will give our body from the myriad of nutrients, minerals and vitamins and what they do.
Please note that I am not a qualified dietician or nutritionist, this podcast is based purely on my research and opinion.
Thanks for listening :)
