Your immune system fights potential invaders like unfriendly bacteria and viruses. The stronger it is the healthier and more protected you will be. Your gut health is important in keeping your immune system working at its best. What you eat does matter. Much of the work of the body is done by the good bacteria that live in our digestive tract.

Here are some ideas you can start incorporating into your daily life to make you stronger:

• Decrease processed sugar consumption. Sugar increases inflammation which can cause problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, dementia, and digestive disorders.
• Drink more water to prevent dehydration. Lots of health problems can be avoided by keeping all the cells in your body hydrated.
• Increase vitamin D. You can sit in the sun to get vitamin D; mushrooms are a good source of vitamin D, and you can take supplements for it.
• Get more sleep. Your body repairs itself when you sleep. Lack of sleep can lead to accidents, weight gain, poor performance and poor health. 
• Foods that can boost your immune system include: garlic, ginger, onions, lemons, limes, and apples.
• Try to eat organic vegetables and fruits. Eat grass-fed animal protein. Avoid dairy and friend foods.
• Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. If you use hand sanitizer, be sure that the alcohol content is at least 60%.
• There are essential oils that have antimicrobial functions and immune boosting properties. (Ask your therapist for specific guidance in which ones to use and how to use them).
• Exercise is also a key way to decrease inflammation and boost your immune function.

Your patient care, health and safety is our priority. We follow practices for Safe Healthcare Deliver in all settings. We require all healthcare personnel to perform good hand hygiene, environmental cleaning and disinfection.

The surfaces used for our patient care are wiped with SNAP II cleaner disinfectant (contains 60% alcohol C14) to disinfect exam tables, exercise mats, and equipment after each use. All linens are washed with detergent and bleach after a single use. Keeping everything clean is our main preventative to keeping you all safe. 

If any of our staff isn't feeling well, they are advised to stay home to keep from spreading any germs. 

If any of you are not feeling great, we advise you to call us to cancel your appointment and not come in to spread more germs and take care of yourselves by keeping hydrated, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds or more, keep away from others and rest.

​We are taking guidance from the CDC, and the WHO, which recommends regular cleaning as one of the most important preventative measures we can take.

If you have any questions about your appointments, please call us at (626) 576 - 0591. We are open from Mondays - Fridays from 8 am - 5 pm.

Thank you and be safe,
