While there are millions of posts telling you to eat certain foods to boost your immune system, I’m going to recommend focusing on reducing stress. Why? When our minds and bodies are stressed, this down regulates our immune system.

This means that reducing stress can actually support your immune system health and function in the body. Clearly this is a difficult time to reduce stress, which is why I’m sharing some of my favorite guided meditations below as well as free at home workout options.
