How do we adopt natural wellness solutions, and create healthy immune systems? Tune in to this podcast with a nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Educator, Marie Ruggles. Marie explains how to create your own “kitchen pharmacy” and what healing foods and supplements we need to keep close by. Marie’s new book is titled, Optimize Your Immune System. It is a compilation of the latest research and practical approaches that educate the reader about how good nutrition and lifestyle factors boost our immune system. Our guest explains why we need to focus on the immune system to not only stay healthy. She also explains how to prepare for exposure to unhealthy people or settings with whom we come into contact.
Here are some of the discussion topics:
- What belongs in our “kitchen pharmacy”?
- What are the essential nutrients and “superfoods” that keep the immune system healthy?
- Can we re-vitalize the immune system in our senior years, or is it too late?
- Keeping immunity on a budget
There is an abundance of nutritional guidance available online, but listeners to this conversation can learn tips on starting small and adopting the correct mindset to keep viruses at bay. There is nothing normal about getting sick, says our guest, and educating ourselves on good nutrition keeps us responsible for our own health and prepared for any new pandemics that come along.
