Pandemic strategies!

Test - Don't Guess
​You need to monitor your labs to stay in balance! 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, you may experience stress, anxiety, fear, sadness and loneliness. And mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression, may worsen.

Learning and practicing self-care strategies like meditation can help you cope. Along with meditation having your antibodies tested can give you peace of mind. 
Testing to see if you have antibodies in your blood isn’t the same as testing to see if you are currently infected with the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 virus. 

An antibody test will determine if someone has been infected and recovered, whereas a testing for active infection is a molecular test – called a "PCR" test that usually uses a nose or throat swab – and shows whether that person was infected with the virus at the time the test was taken. 

Antibodies are the body’s way of remembering how it responded to an infection so they can attack again if exposed to the same pathogen. If a person has antibodies in her blood, that means she has immune cells available to fight the virus, which lowers the risk of getting sick.  
 
If you find yourself over-stressed with anxiety surrounding this pandemic I suggest you tap into the  meditation apps out there and learn to use them on a dalily basis. One company you can check out is called Headspace, a company committed to advancing the field of mindfulness meditation through clinically-validated research on their product. They are currently have  research studies with large national institutions that may be among the largest mindfulness meditation trials ever conducted. 

​Meditation has been shown to help people stress less, focus more and sleep better.

Also taking high quality nutritional supplements such as vitamin C, vitamin D, and a good multivitamin will help support your cells and protect you during this viral pandemic.
