Welcome to my new blog!

 

Hello!  I’m Dr. Marianne Nielsen. I’m a chiropractic neurologist and owner of the Chiropractic Neurology center featuring the new Brain and Body Spa in Los Gatos, California. I have a passion for sharing information about brain and body health, so I will be posting tips and insights right here! 

A few tips on boosting your immune system.
There is a lot of information going around about the coronavirus currently, and it can get overwhelming sorting it all out.

Get plenty of sleep and eat healthy.
What we do know for sure is that supporting your immune system is very important. Getting enough sleep and eating nutritious food should be on top of the list of things you are doing to support your immune system. Junk food and sugar does weaken the immune system, so even though we are camped out next to the fridge these days, avoiding those foods is more important than ever.

Take invigorating walks.
With all the restrictions on public spaces, getting your daily exercise is certainly a bit of a challenge, but it is very important that you find a way. There are lots of exercise programs online, but taking a brisk walk around the neighborhood is an excellent way to get some exercise in. Make sure to swing your arms as you are walking to activate your brain as much as possible.

Try some vitamins.
As for supplements to take, Vitamin D, A and E are important for the immune system as is Zinc and Selenium. NAC or glutathione is also important . There are many more , but those are a good start.

Questions? Feel free to contact me!
Let me know if you have trouble finding any of these, as immune supporting supplements are selling out fast everywhere. I have a button on the website for Fullscript – you can purchase supplements off that site and they often have hard to find items available.

Stay healthy!
