* Disclaimer: Some of the information here is what I found online and I pick those that I found to be useful and helpful.

I’m staying in Singapore , currently our outbreak alert have raised to orange level as the coronavirus spread further within our country.

After this alert been raised , I can feel the fear of people . Fear makes some people go into defensive and selfish mode , that result in hoarding food , masks , alcohol wipes , toilet paper etc .

Although times like this makes me sad , but these few days keeps me wondering

“isn’t it be best that everyone of us do our best to keep ourselves healthy physically and mentally?”

During times of Coronavirus , we should take good care of ourselves . First with a healthy body , our body can help fight the virus . Second with a healthy mind , we can overcome any challenges.

There are alot of articles online on improving the health of our Mind and Body : here a few which I pick .

Healthy Body : Improve immune system

• Drink a lot of water : to hydrate and detox the body
• Green tea : Powerful antioxidants
• Vitamin C : supplement , fruits
• Vitamin D : Sunlight
• Fish oil : supplement
• Exercise
• Balance diet : Eat more fruits and vegetables
• Get plenty of sleep : 8 hours
• Garlic : some people say 1 clove of garlic with warm water every morning empty stomach. I have not try but think I will give it a try soon .
• Don’t smoke

Healthy Mind : Having a resilience mentality

• Meditation: depends on your level , I meditate around 20 mins Everyday
• Practices Gratitude: every morning name 1 things you are grateful . Eg. “I am grateful that I have a healthy body, Thank you !”
• Raise your mood : keeping yourself in a positive mood aka feel good eg, doing things you love , listen to your favourite music , things or activities what will makes you feel good and happy .

When you are down with flu virus :

• Keep your body warm at all times : some researcher found that warm temperatures kill infection faster.

(There is a old remedy which I always use when I have flu/cold. I will cover myself with blanket and make myself sweat , as always after I sweat I feel a lot better . )

It is better you see a doctor if your fever last for more than 3 days or increasing towards 39.4 C (103 F)

• Drink plenty of water : eg. warm water , hot green tea etc

• Sanitize household objects – item you touch Everyday eg. Doorknob , remote control, jugs handle , keyboards , handles etc
