043 – Revive Yourself – Things I’ll Do Doing This Winter To Avoid The Flu

REMEMBER LOW IMMUNITY SETS THE STAGE FOR SICKNESS Any illness, whether bacterial, fungal or viral, shows up in individuals who are “susceptible.” Your immunity could be low for a number of reasons, including: - Chronic stress - Poor diet, especially from eating too much sugar - Lack of sleep - Buildup of toxins - Infections - Acidic blood Making healthy lifestyle choices during “cold” and “flu season” (and all year round) will help build defences in your body. But there are several additional and all-natural steps you can take to arm yourself against the super-contagious colds and flu and I will outline some of them below.

In our war against bugs such as bacteria, we have created a harsh environment that has caused more dangerous bacteria to evolve, like antibiotic-resistant bacteria superbugs from antibiotic overuse. The solution? Strengthening your immune system - using the methods I outlined above - from the inside out will provide protection against bacteria, viruses, and parasites while supporting your gut with good bacteria will help to fight any infection that comes your way. Health & Happiness Ryan P.S. I haven’t had the flu or a cold in 9 years which I’m sure is down to luck P.P.S. Studies show us that 85% of people who get the flu jab get the flu - so without even mentioning the ingredients, is 15% chance of “immunity” really worth it?
