5. Get Some Sun
Sunlight triggers the skin’s production of Vitamin D which helps fight respiratory infections. In the winter months, it is difficult above the Mason-Dixon line to get an adequate amount of sun, so if you live north of there, consider a Vitamin D supplement.

3. Drink Less Alcohol
Alcohol impairs the immune system and increases vulnerability to lung infections such as coronavirus. A glass or two here and there is stress relieving to many, but more than that increases stress on your liver and immune system.

2. Manage Your Stress
Stress is another thing that elevates the hormone cortisol which suppresses immune function. Keep to your deadlines, but allow yourself more time to complete projects. Leave a little early for work so you don’t have to worry about arriving on time. Limit your contact with people who are stress magnets. If you’re feeling particularly stressed, take a walk, close your eyes for 10 minutes, or open a book. Anything to break the cycle of stress and stress reactions is good.

If you have chronic pain, regular neuromuscular massage can help ease the pain and maintain your range of motion, all of which help maintain your quality of life.
New studies show that mindfulness is another tool to help relieve chronic pain.
Mindfulness is nothing more than taking opportunities several times each day to bring your attention on to something in the present moment.
Much of the discomfort of chronic pain is our own reactions to it.
Often, our thoughts are brought from an activity we’re engaged in to thinking about what hurts.
There are mindfulness meditations, as well as activities that you can do anywhere to help your chronic pain.

Your body needs water to maintain its temperature both in the hot summer months, and in the cold winter months.
Not having enough fluids is a common reason for people to suffer hypothermia while engaging in outdoor activities in the winter.
Maintaining enough fluids is one way to help your body remain warmer during the winter.

Remember to stay hydrated all day, so start first thing in the morning with a full glass of water.
Set some mini-goals for yourself throughout the day and use a clear water bottle so that you can see how well you are meeting your goals.
If you aren’t fond of plain water, infuse your water with a piece of fresh fruit. Any citrus fruit can add flavor to your water and there are infusing water bottles available that make adding fruit to your water easy.
Anything liquid helps with hydration (except alcohol and caffeinated beverages), so warm yourself up with a nice cup of tea and stay hydrated.
