When we hear the word “preparedness,” we usually think about preparing our house for survival or improving our prepping skills.

These things will not matter, however, if we fall sick when SHTF.

Imagine if a tornado hit, and you suddenly raised a 104°F fever.

You wouldn’t even be able to protect yourself – much less your whole family.

Having a strong immune system is a crucial aspect of preparedness.

When emergencies strike, the last thing you want is to be bogged down by illness. 

That’s why you should take simple steps to keep your immune system in top shape.

First and foremost, make sure you sleep at least 7 hours every night. 

Sleep is essential for every aspect of our lives.

Next, eat wholefood meals.

A lot of people nowadays are poisoning their bodies with ultra-processed foods and packaged meals.

Make sure to include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your meals.

These foods are rich in vitamins and minerals that are essential for a healthy immune system.

Also, consider adding probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kefir to your nutrition, as they help to keep your gut healthy, which is where 70 percent of your immune system is located.

In addition, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Water helps to flush out toxins and keep your immune system functioning properly. 

These 3 things are the most important factors in a strong immune system.

But we shouldn’t neglect exercise. It helps our bodies function properly and shields us from disease.

If your job involves manual labor, then you probably have that covered.

Otherwise, you should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily.

Whether it’s a brisk walk, a jog, or a gym session, make sure you move your body every day.

You should also minimize stress.

Chronic stress can be detrimental to our health.

If you find yourself stressed daily, you need to look for a way to change that.

Keeping our immune system strong is not often discussed in the prepping world.

Yet, staying healthy is a crucial aspect of preparedness.
