Avoid Sugary Foods & Alcohol This may sound like an impossible task if you crave sugar when you are stressed, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. Like it or not, high-sugar foods and drinks feed bad bacteria in the body and also promote inflammation which makes fighting off viruses and infections much harder. † Here are a few tips on how to avoid “ bad” snacking and drinking: • Stock your fridge with veggies, greens & low-sugar fruits • Snack on veggies & hummus between meals • Have a filling, delicious protein shake with added berries —think of it as dessert! • If you would like a drink, limit it to one glass of red wine for its antioxidants • Instead of reaching for a bad snack, reach for a game or puzzle to occupy your mind. HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR Immune System & STAY HEALTHY!
