Viruses, flus, and colds are a part of life — and we are still trying to learn how to navigate in this ‘new normal’ during the pandemic. But we shouldn’t live in fear; our best defense is to build up our immune system to protect ourselves against all potential health conditions and not just the flu.

There are a lot of companies claiming miracle COVID 19 solutions. But the fact is, by making a few lifestyle changes you can increase your defenses naturally and quickly.

By losing weight naturally the right way, you can simultaneously reduce health risk factors like high cholesterol, blood pressure and triglycerides, high blood sugar levels and high stress — all which compromise your immune system and make you more vulnerable.

GOLO has the solutions needed to help you get healthier.

Your immune health depends on the lifestyle choices you make every day. GOLO works to support your body’s natural ability to defend itself against colds, flus and other serious illnesses that may come your way — while simultaneously helping you shed unwanted weight.

Here are some suggestions to help you. Make a conscious effort to identify where you can improve some habits, make a few minor changes and reap the rewards of better health and weight loss.

PROCESSED FOODS

Problem: Eating processed foods denies your body of key micronutrients and fiber critical to your immune defense.

Solution: Skip processed foods, drinks, and meal replacements. Eat balanced healthy meals from whole foods and eliminate grazing so you are resting your gut and organs between meals which will have a dramatic and positive effect on gut health, weight loss and the lowering of risk factors. Follow the GOLO For Life Plan and the 7 Day Reset Plan inside the GOLO For Life Plan. Reduce or eliminate dairy and consider more plant-based foods like quinoa, beans, and lentils as healthier protein sources. Refer to your GOLO For Life Plan for more information.

GUT HEALTH

Problem: Did you know that approximately 70% of your immune system is in your gut? Maintaining a healthy balance in the gut is essential for better health and a strong immune system. Processed foods, unhealthy habits, and even fad diets can alter this fragile ecosystem.

Solution: Feed your immune system a wide variety of healthy whole (unprocessed) food. Let your digestive system rest between meals and overnight so your body and key organs can restore and cleanse. Reduce sugar and preservatives that can decrease immune strength.

SLEEP

Problem: Lack of sleep or poor-quality sleep is devastating to your immune system because your body doesn’t have the chance to rest and restore, stressing your body and leaving you fatigued throughout the day. During the sleep cycle, our bodies perform complex and important detoxification processes that are needed for overall good health as a good night’s sleep can boost the efficiency of T cells in the body, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight off viruses.

Solution: Reduce the amount of time you spend watching TV, browsing on social media or other distractions. Create a bedtime ritual that allows you to ‘unwind’ with a book or bath before bedtime and enjoy the process of recharging your body. Don’t eat or drink too much water late at night. Consider apps that gently wake you up rather than loud alarm clocks.

STRESS

Problem: Stress can be induced by many things including bad eating habits, lack of sleep and emotional eating or stress eating which manifests itself as poor sleep and immunity issues. It’s a vicious cycle, but you can reduce stress with a few easy changes.

Solution: Be aware of the areas in your life that are causing increased stress. Although you may not be able to eliminate them entirely, awareness can help you set up a strategy for managing them. The Overcoming Diet Obstacles section in the GOLO For Life Plan contains a lot of useful information on emotional eating and how to overcome the obstacles that can sabotage your efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Eat balanced meals that follow the GOLO For Life Plan and keep taking Release as the ingredients Rhodiola, zinc, magnesium and inositol – some of the ingredients in Release have been shown to help promote reduced stress and better sleep.

EXERCISE

Problem: Lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle can reduce our immunity, cause weight gain and even increase stress. It also leads to a build-up of toxins and waste in the body, increasing the risk of illness.

Solution: If you aren’t exercising now, start adding some activity slowly. Even just a few minutes a day will get your muscles moving and help your lymph system release toxins and waste. You can fit exercise in anywhere, even at work. You don’t need a gym or class, just start walking, go up and down stairs, lift cans of food, water bottles, etc. As you start exercising you will want to do it more often, as your stress levels will decrease, and you will feel more energized and fit.

MINERAL OR VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES

Problem: The soil today is not rich in minerals like it used to be which means the foods we eat today do not provide the same nutrition as it did many years ago. Pesticides, herbicides, and pollution have caused the deficit, and the aging of food, from ‘farm to table’ further diminish nutrition. This problem, along with the amount of processed food we eat, makes it possible that many of us are deficient in the level of minerals that we need to stay healthy.

Solution: Whole foods, organic if possible, and as close to home (locally grown) will give you the best chance at optimal nutrition. Organic produce reduces the exposure to harmful toxins that can be linked to most disease. In addition, Release contains the high-quality minerals Magnesium, Chromium and Zinc, and helps prevent Chromium and Zinc deficiency.

How The GOLO For Life Plan Can Help Improve Your Immunity

Balanced meals are better

Rest organs and gut between meals – no need for grazing

Super Foods for overall better health and vitality

The GOLO For Life Plan focuses on nutrient-dense, whole foods that give your body the right nutrition for weight loss and overall wellness.

Super Foods

The stronger your immune system is, the better it can fight off colds and viruses. One key aspect of building your immune system is focusing on eating nutrient-rich foods and choosing lifestyle behaviors to help you stay ahead of the germs.

These nutrients can help support your immune system and are a part of the GOLO For Life Plan:

  • Beta carotene is found in plant foods such as sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, mango, broccoli, and tomatoes.
  • Vitamin C-rich foods include citrus fruits, berries, melons, tomatoes, bell peppers and broccoli.
  • Vitamin D is found in fatty fish and eggs.
  • Probiotics are “good” bacteria that promote health. Cultured dairy products such as yogurt and fermented foods such as kimchi are good sources.
  • Protein comes from both animal and plant-based sources, such as milk, yogurt, eggs, beef, chicken, seafood, nuts, seeds, beans, and lentils.

Release – It’s Not Just for Weight Loss

Your Immune Kickstart Plan

By now, you know why it’s important to keep your immune system strong, and by taking care of yourself with healthy decisions you have the best chance of a healthy winter season ahead.

  1. Keep following the GOLO For Life Plan which eliminates processed food, giving you optimal nutrition from balanced meals.

  2. Take your Release supplement with each meal to help maintain good energy, reduced stress and steady insulin levels. Release contains Zinc, Magnesium and Chromium which are key minerals the body needs.

  3. Support your gut health by eating clean and foods that feed your gut with a variety of fruits, vegetables and healthy carbohydrates like brown rice, lentils and beans. If your gut and digestive system need extra help, consider Go-Digest.

  4. Drink water – staying hydrated by drinking water will also give your immune system a boost. Start by drinking a glass first thing in the morning to start your day on the right foot. Reduce caffeine as caffeine increases cortisol and stress levels. 

    Pro tip: Water is the healthiest and most essential beverage for overall health and weight loss. Water helps to boost metabolism, eliminate waste, curb the appetite, reduce water retention and to properly metabolize stored fat.

  5. Add moderate exercise if you aren’t already – any physical activity you can add into your daily routine will benefit your overall health and immune system.

  6. Limit alcohol – Excessive alcohol consumption, even short-term, can alter your immune system.

  7. Relax! Try deep abdominal breathing and visualize on a tranquil scene. Tai chi and yoga are also great ways to relax and reset.
