During this special and unique time, evoleum supports you with the #bienchezsoi campaign. This new life at home, far from our usual rhythm of life, is ideal for taking a step back. This situation is an invitation to take time for yourself, to take care of yourself. It is a time to adopt a new philosophy of life, to tame everyday life more serenely. At evoleum, we want to take advantage of this time to share our experience and advice on nutrition, beauty, health and well-being with you.
Naturopathy, an ancestral medicine, aims to strengthen the body's defences through the use of means considered to be natural. This approach places healthy living at the heart of health and the proper functioning of the body. Aurélie Fleschen, naturopath, shares with us some advice on how to strengthen your health and immunity.
Strengthen your immunity through a rich and healthy diet.
Diet is an essential pillar in providing what our body needs. Providing the right elements, such as amino acids, will enable the body to strengthen its antibodies and thus stimulate its defences.
We provide the body with the right amino acids by choosing quality proteins. As far as animal proteins are concerned, eggs are a source high-quality protein source. It's best to choose them organically, and to eat them as uncooked as possible. Indeed, the more a food is cooked, the more it will lose the elements essential to the body, making the digestive process longer. Aurélie also recommends sheep's milk cheeses, white meats and oily fish (sardines, mackerel, herring, etc.). Cow's milk products, red meats and cold meats should be avoided, as they are pro-inflammatory and generate acid waste. These elements will disrupt and slow down our body's proper functioning.
As for vegetable proteins, pulses, whole grains and fermented soybeans are the foods of choice.
Diet is also an effective way of providing the body with sufficientantioxidants. These antioxidants are found mainly in fruit and vegetables. Aurélie Fleschen recommends eating raw vegetables or vegetable juices at every meal, to replenish vital energy through a rich intake of vitamins and minerals. Fruit is best eaten outside of mealtimes, at breakfast or as a snack, up to half an hour before a meal.
"Only living things can bring vitality: that's why we prefer raw vegetables to cooked ones. "
Sprouted seeds, oilseeds and evoleum birch sap are also foods rich in vitamins and minerals. They should be included without moderation in your daily diet.
Our diet determines the quality of our intestinal microbiota, which in turn affects our immune system. Maintaining your microbiota is therefore essential.
How can we do this? By nourishing intestinal bacteria with fiber. To do this, eat a diet based on organic wholegrain cereals (rice, quinoa, wheat, buckwheat, etc.), pulses (chickpeas, split peas, etc.), raw vegetables and seeds.
To maintain your intestinal microbiota, you can also include probiotic foods, which are bacteria that limit the development of pathogenic bacteria. These probiotics are found in lacto-fermented foods such as sauerkraut, pickles, etc. A one-month course of probiotics can also be considered to boost immunity.
Strengthen your immune system by better managing your stress and emotions.
Learning to manage stress is the second lever you can use to boost your immune system. Stress is harmful and has a negative influence on our immune system. That's why regular physical activity is highly recommended. Ideally, you should try to exercise every day for between 45 minutes and 1 hour, depending on your vitality. If you're in a feverish state, sport is not recommended.
Focusing on your breathing is another way of managing your emotions. Aurélie Fleschen recommends the practice of abdominal breathing, which involves drawing energy down from the nervous system to the body. Practice for 2 to 3 minutes, as many times as possible during the day.
Cardiac coherence is another effective way to relieve stress. This exercise harmonizes the functioning of the brain and the heart. Do it 3 times a day to manage your anxiety.
Strengthen your health with plants and micronutrients.
Essential oils are highly effective in boosting the immune system, both in preventive and curative care.
Aurélie Fleschen particularly recommends Ravintsara essential oil, the most antiviral. It can be diffused into the air to purify it, applied locally or ingested internally. Before use, it is advisable to seek the advice of a health professional, as there are many precautions to be taken when using essential oils.
We also have plants such as Echinacea, which will prove highly effective in modulating our immunity. This plant can be taken as a preventive or curative treatment, in a one-month course.
Finally, micronutrients also have a role to play. Aurélie Fleschen recommends the following:
- liquid vitamin D3, 1000 IU/day as a cure for one or two months
- vitamin C, 1000g active/day
- zinc, 20mg/day
These micronutrients should be combined with the probiotics mentioned in the nutrition section, so that they can act synergistically to boost your immunity.
To hydrate the body and detoxify, also considereau de bouleau evoleum. Rich in manganese, this plant elixir provides an immediate detoxifying effect.
Strengthening one's vital energy and health is essential during this period. A healthy and rich diet combined with a good management of stress and emotions, by practising a sporting activity, are two essential steps to reinforce your immunity. The use of plants, essential oils and micronutrients are the third pillar of what can help you preserve your immune system on a daily basis. You now have all the keys in hand to become an actor of your health.
Take advantage of these moments to rethink your daily life and approach life in a more serene manner. Take time for yourself, to take care of yourself, at home. #goodtoself
