YOUR IMMUNITY IS YOUR LAST LINE OF DEFENSE, NO MORE PLAYING WITH FATE, SUPPORT YOUR IMMUNITY AND STOP UNDERMINING IT

The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is here and it is here to stay.  This is not the time to be quixotic, this is the time to be pragmatic and preemptive. Past infection growth projections have been spot on up to this point and the current spread projections are likely to be accurate.

Research published on Wednesday March11, 2019, on Aerosol and surface stability of HCoV-19 (SARS-CoV-2) compared to SARS-CoV-1 indicated that the virus could be detected up to 3 hours in air, this is potentially one of the most serious findings to date.

Many projections range from a 40% infection rate (high) to a 25% infection rate (low), objectively it is not a matter of IF you will encounter the virus, but WHEN you will encounter this virus.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM

When you do encounter the virus before a vaccine is developed (and you are not a carrier) you will face one of four possibilities:

1. You apply the factual prevention protocols and do not become infected
2. You become infected and survive with a short and less impactful illness
3. You become infected and survive with suffering and perhaps long-term complications
4. You encounter the virus become infected and die  

You are more likely to experience a difficult recovery, have long term complications or die if:

1. You are over 50 years old
2. Have cardiac or respiratory issues
3. Are hypertensive, stressed or diabetic
4. Are overweight
5. Have a poor diet

There is nothing anyone can do about your chronological age but, WE CAN REPAIR YOUR DIET and lifestyle, WHICH WILL IMPROVE your:

• Biological age (the age your biological profile and capabilities seem)
• Cardiac and respiratory capacities
• Hypertension and insulin responses (in support of medical treatments)
• Level of overweight

Vacillating about your dietary changes, holding on to old socializations, habituations, cravings and addictions is not the way to protect yourself.  There is a reason so many weight related illnesses are killing people all over the world, most people rationalize their triggers and embrace their cravings, supported by enablers and a food industry which absolutely puts profits over people.

This is a wakeup call, regardless of your habituations and cravings, sensibly, now is the time to pivot completely away from what is hurting your survival, towards that which will support a thriving life.

YOUR IMMUNITY IS BEING HANDICAPPED

Many common, easily accessible and affordable foods, have low nutritional density and deny your system the nutrients it needs for optimal performance. They create inflammation and oxidative stress, TASKING and “preoccupying” your immune system, leaving it damaged, weak and slow to respond.  These foods are

• Refined flour
• Refined sugar
• Alcoholic beverages, especially mixed drinks
• Late night eating
• High calorie lifestyle
• Processed foods, processed meats and fast foods

Keep these out of your diet. Remember YOU WANT WHAT YOUR ADDICTION WANTS. if you feel compelled for any reason to eat these foods CONTACT A COACH, your coach is experienced and objective, you cannot, must not, trust your own thinking.

TO SUPPORT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM, YOUR WEEKLY DIET MUST INCLUDE

• Antioxidants and flavonoids
• Anti-inflammatory foods
• Fiber rich foods
• Foods rich in vitamins A, C and D, and minerals such as zinc

Your assignments facilitate for these nutrients. You need to be open-minded about your options, when planning your assigned meals. You must have:

Cruciferous vegetables – bok choy, broccoli, kale, callaloo, brussels sprout, cauliflower, cabbage and other green leafy vegetables.

Colored vegetables – The more colours the better (at least 3 types of vegetables every day, 6 cups or more)

Berries – are filled with antioxidants, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, strawberry

Fruits – filled with antioxidants and flavonoids, at least one or two servings per day

Plant source seasoning and spices including – ginger, garlic, cumin, turmeric, onions, green tea

Nuts, seeds, legumes, beans and peas – also rich in minerals

Complex Carbohydrates – Natural, unrefined and filled with fiber

Fasting cycles – peer reviewed studies show that fasting prepares your body for “stressful times” bolstering and priming your immune system.  Speak with your coach for additional information.

GET YOURSELF TOGETHER TODAY

Biology is empirical, sooner or later your life will reflect the numbers.  Hiding, leaving it for later, “sticking to it 80%”, not being “quite there” is simply undermining your own life. 

Your scale and waist measurements are meters showing you how likely you are to survive, or not. At the best of times this is foolish, setting yourself up for tragedy within months or years.

If your weight and food is not managed, your health and your immunity is not managed. You are your own business, your biggest asset, your commodity, stop selling yourself out to your job, moods and being too busy, invest the time and effort in yourself, through preparedness create a healthy routine, or there will be nothing left for anyone or anything.

Also, speak with your coach about exercises for supporting your immune system.

Dedicate yourself to living on the right track, embrace your Intekai lifestyle and be safe.
