Staying Strong When Worried

4/4/2020

Are you are starting to question if this COVID19 thing will ever end? Or when another virus might cause this to happen again?

I am. I look at my children and my elders, and I worry.

So I am staying focused on what's good - like going out less, making do with less, spending more quality time with family, my pets, my self and my books - these are real gifts for my family and I, and for the planet too!

Since gifts cannot be burdens, this shifts me into enjoying this time instead of resisting it.

And when life is usually too fast and busy to put proper priority on our health (yes, even the health practitioners struggle with that!) - well, now we are definitely taking notice and taking care.

Taking care of myself and my family's health shifts me out of fear to one of empowerment. It feels good to be doing something that helps!

There are SOOOOO many things you can do to boost your digestive health and immunity. Here are another two easy things to focus on in the meantime.

Pay attention to HOW you eat. Relax before and during eating, and avoid distractions so you can chew really really well!

This maximizes production of acid in your stomach and sets up your whole digestive system to function properly!

It also helps you to break down and absorb proteins, and vitamins A, C, E, B6 plus iron, zinc and magnesium... all essential for immune health.

Focus on eating fresh fruits and veggies, fermented foods, and soups made with veggies, seaweeds and/or meat bones. These provide you with plenty of Vitamin C, A and zinc, some of the primary nutrients for boosting your immune system. There's more to read about them all here.

With love for your gut,
Katanne

Hi, I'm Katanne - Nutritionist and Gut Health Specialist. My talent and passion is helping busy people like you to finally enjoy food and life again!! By resolving painful and annoying digestive issues, we then have energy and enthusiam for our life!
As a busy, do-too-much, everyone-else-comes-first type of person, I learned the hard way that this kind of stress compromises both gut and health. It took ten years to perfect a healing approach that is less about food and more about how we manage our stress.... stress that impacts our digestion, and stress that we over-doers tend to bring on ourselves. We all need efficient and effective solutions that we can integrate today, so here are some simple tips of what to eat and do to bring enjoyment back to your eating and living!
