]]> Coronavirus outbreak has the whole planet slowing down and many people are staying at home. Millions are rushing to the stores to get enough food for the next few weeks, but if you pay attention, you’ll see that people are mostly stocking up on flour, bread, frozen pastry, etc. in order to boost immunity and increase your chances of avoiding the new virus, here are the foods you should be buying and eating instead.

Fruits and Vegetables

Green vegetables are great for your immunity and overall health. Eat other vegetables as well, and fruit should be your dessert of choice that will help you get plenty of vitamins.

Water and Tea

If you drink bottled water, make sure you have enough of it at home. Staying hydrated is crucial for immunity, so drink plenty of it every day. You can also hydrate with herbal tea so stock up on it, too.

Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds are a perfect alternative to industrial snacks, and when you’re at home all day long, you’ll definitely want to snack more. Having healthy options at hand will keep you feeling great.

Pepitas! Aka pumpkin seeds – a good source of magnesium (essential for the absorption and metabolism of calcium), potassium (able to balance salt intake and reduce blood pressure), fiber, healthy fats, iron, copper, and vitamin E. They are also one of the best plant-based sources of zinc, a mineral important for wound healing, immune function, and DNA synthesis. ⁣ ⁣ Pepitas are delicious raw or roasted, sprinkled on top of smoothies, salads, oatmeal, trail mix, or just on their own. You can roast them with any spices you like – cinnamon, paprika, etc. I went with just salt and olive oil here so I can use them with sweet or savory dishes.⁣ ⁣ Per cup of seeds, coat with 1/2 tsp olive oil and 1/4-1/2 tsp salt and roast at 350 for ~10 min, mixing around halfway through. 🌱

Warm Water

This is one of the simplest energy-boosting habits you can try. When you wake up, just get one glass of warm water, add some lemons and you will notice a lot of difference. Warm water will activate bowel movement and get your digestive system going.

Scrape Your Tongue

You will definitely find this routine crazy, but it works wonders. In the morning, your tongue is full of bacteria, food leftovers and dead cells you have to remove. After scraping, you will feel amazing.

Dear Ange, I just read what you said about this tongue cleaner and I have to say I personally feel exactly the same. It seems disgusting at first but it’s a life changer for me too! If you missed Ange's review, here it is: “I've been using this tongue scraper for almost a year and it has kept me from getting sick. Even through the nasty flu season, I didn't even pick a cold. I'm asthmatic and usually get sick when the seasons change or all through Winter. But not this year and believe it's because of this twice daily ritual. I keep buying them for people when they get sick! – Ange” You can find out more and get this tongue cleaner in the link on my profile page!! #tonguecleaner #tonguescraper #tonguecleaning #tonguescraping #drtungs #nourishedlife
