I apologize for not following up with neurotransmitters. I returned the book to the library, so I will continue with that topic at another time. I have been scanning through a book called the "100 Best Ways to Stop Aging and Stay Young" by Julia Maranan. The topic that caught my attention was the immune system. I think this is an area that we neglect as we age. Many times, the only preventative action that is taken to stay healthy is to get a flu shot, rather than focusing on avoiding illness through strengthening the immune system. Following is a list of ideas from the author on how to keep your immune system strong:
- Do not hold a grudge
- Do things that you enjoy - this will help reduce stress
- Listen to music
- Get enough sleep
- Use the power of touch for lifelong immunity
- Think positively
- Exercise in moderation
- Eat immune boosting foods - colorful fruits and vegetables, mushrooms, garlic, nuts, and green tea are all beneficial foods.
- Take supplements to boost the immune system
- Improve the air quality in your environment
