3. Make Friends A Priority
Research suggests that people with strong friendships have healthier, robust immune systems. A 2008 Harvard University study states that positive social attachments protect your brain against memory loss as well as many other cognitive disorders developed with age. A 1993 Swedish study of male blue-collar workers found that those with a strong social support system had decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, versus a 2009 study done in Buffalo, NY that found that those with few friends had increased risk of cardiovascular disease. So start working on your relationships. Learn how to communicate and listen. Try to be cognizant of how others perceive you and stay open minded about whom you share your time with.
4. Stay pH Balanced
Alternative medicine doctors preach that the body is healthiest when it is pH balanced (midway between completely acidic and completely alkaline). When the pH levels fall outside of this, whether it be too high or too low, acidosis onsets. Most people suffer from this and don’t even realize it. The typical American diet doesn’t help with this much, as it tends to be an overdose of meat and sugar. Fight back with more vegetables, especially dark leafy greens as well as beans, asparagus and carrots. Fruits such as cucumbers, avocados and coconuts are great acidosis inhibitors as well.
5. Eat Garlic
Garlic is a powerful antioxidant and antibiotic. It builds your immune system and wards of ailments like the common cold. It also is great for managing blood pressure, as well as triglycerides and cholesterol levels. Garlic’s medicinal value is best found in its natural state. So keep fresh garlic in your diet!
