One way you can protect yourself and your family right now is to prepare your immune system to fight COVID-19 if you do get infected. HansaBhargavaMD explains:
infection – you’re staying home, washing your hands, and wiping down surfaces. Another way you can protect yourself and your family is to prepare your immune system to fight the virus if you do get infected.
Think of it this way – when coronavirus attacks your body, it’s waging a battle against you. If you don’t have your ‘armor’ on, you will likely get wounded. While you are at home, why not start preparing and ‘arming’ your immune system for that attack, if it eventually comes?When you exercise, not only do your muscles get stronger, you also prepare your cardiovascular system too.
And make sure you socialize. Relationships are so important, and physical distancing does not have to mean emotional distancing. Reach out via Facetime, Skype, or Zoom to friends and family – see their faces and talk to them. Yesterday evening, I had a virtual “girls’ night out” with my sisters and my best friend from Toronto. We all had a glass of red wine while we chatted and caught up. It was wonderful to see the smiles of my loved ones. By the time I got off that phone, I felt armed and ready for anything.
It is a tough time in our lives, and we need to draw on all the resources available to us to get us through. So, take good care of yourself – put your ‘armor’ on – and follow the guidelines for physical distancing, and we’ll get to other side of this together.
