Stress is the major cause of low immune system, heart problems and digestion issues. Accept the challenge and choose calmness and faith. Let go of what you cannot control or what does not serve you.
If you find yourself stressed, restless, anxious or depressed, listen to a calming music. Take a bath or a shower.
Give yourself a self-massage. Use essential oils around your home.
Watch funny movies. Speak to friends. Drink herbal tea. Read a book.
2. Exercise .

4. Take supplements.
Go an extra mile.
Vitamins, minerals and probiotics. Natural probiotics are kimchi, sauerkraut, gherkins, kefir and yoghurts. Probiotics support gut microbiome that is necessary for a strong immune system and for the entire wellbeing. Consider taking Vitamin D3 & K2. Don’t forget vitamin C.

It is definitely more than we can get from the 5 a day recommendations. An medium apple has about 4 grams of fibre, a small banana about 2.5 grams we get from of fibre, 100 grams of broccoli contains about 2.5 grams of dietary fibre.
6. Limit junk food.
Take a full responsibility for the quality of your meals.
Pretty obvious, but take-aways and microwave meals are usually low in nutrients. Cook, enjoy, share and embrace your cooking and your meals.
Inhale.... and exhale...
Breathe fresh air.
Open your windows, go to the garden, open the front door to get a fresh air. You are not going to harm anyone by standing at your doorstep breathing deeply.
