Un très bon livre que j'ai lu il y a quelques années.

Une excellente ressource de l'Institut de médecine fonctionnelle!

Quels sont vos plans pour la fin de semaine? Moi je finalise après des mois et des mois de travail mon premier programme en ligne. Soyez aux aguets car je ferai l'annonce officielle la semaine prochaine. Bonne fin de semaine à tous!!!!

Heureusement que présentement certains chercheurs s'intéressent à ce que l'on peut faire pour aider notre système immunitaire. Merci à la Dre Deanna Minich de faire avancer la médecine fonctionnelle. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7482148/ Summary of Clinician Recommendations... Nutrition Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Aim for 9-13 servings per day of a variety of types for a wide array of phytonutrients to enhance the gut microbiome. Consume dietary fiber, a minimum of 28-35 grams daily, preferably from whole foods. Eat fermented vegetables or other probiotic-containing foods to maintain epithelial health and gut barrier function. Reduce or avoid immune offenders such as added sugars and salt, high-glycemic foods (including processed carbohydrates), and excessive saturated fat. Stress Reduction/Management Monitoring stress levels through biofeedback markers such as heart rate variability (HRV) may assist in knowing when to implement stress management strategies and in having a means to assess their efficacy, as well in helping to track resilience-building approaches. Practicing stress-modifying techniques on a regular basis using HRV and other modalities can result in greater resilience when confronted with stressors. Sleep Good quality, sufficient quantity (seven to eight hours) and adequate deep phasic bouts of sleep is of utmost importance as part of immune maintenance, as well as during times of recovery from illness. It is advised to have patients practice good sleep hygiene and maintain consistent sleep hours by turning off screens, ensuring the room is cool, quiet, and dark, and setting reminders to go to bed on time. Exercise A personalized exercise program can be designed even during homestay by utilizing features in one’s home environment, including apps, the internet, and technology, or by taking the opportunity to experience the calming, immune-supportive effects of being in nature (while, at the same time, social distancing). Social Factors/Connection Reduce exposure to interactions perceived as hostile and non-supportive and, at the same time, on emphasizing and encouraging time with others who are positive or affirming. For those people who may be lonely or isolated, as well as those who may be at increased risk of immune compromise, recommend regular social connection as a routine. Ideas might include participating virtually in local community events or in a religious or spiritual group.
