Some of my favorites include spending time in the sun and getting out into the fresh air. Not only do these help lower stress and inflammation - studies have shown that sun and fresh air can help to kill off bacteria and viruses.
1.) Cinamon - a power spice
I really do love the flavor of this spice, I add it simply to everything; my morning oats, smoothies, Currys, soaps and my matcha latte… It has got many benefits, its rich in antioxidants, which help to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body and natural antimicrobial properties that can help fight various types of infections.
