Once we catch a virus, our immune system weakens while fighting it. After the virus, we should be careful not to catch another one because we no longer have defenses. We need to recover these defenses, and this is why we tend to catch infection after infection: our immune systems are not able to recuperate.
What make us frequently get sick?
Eating fried foods, saturated fats, sugary drinks (sodas or canned juices with added sugar such as sucrose, fructose, diet sugar, etc.), cow’s milk and derivatives, excess salt or refined products like flours.

Those chocolates people give us with so much love we should eat very carefully. Let’s take a look at the increasing sugar consumption over time and how diseases such as arthritis, heart and respiratory problems, cancers, vision, circulatory, and kidney problems have increased. Also, the high consumption of sugar is related to the loss of memory.

Our brain produces a hormone called MELATONIN. Melatonin’s job is to regulate night and day sleep cycle. Darkness causes the body to produce more melatonin, which signal the body to go to sleep. Light decreases melatonin and signals the body to prepare for being awake. There are foods that help our brain produce more Melatonin.

A few extra pounds can put you in the group of people at high risk for heart disease, diabetes, urine and kidney problems, among other conditions. You should consider dieting as an option, but before deciding on one diet among the many out there, talk to your doctor, to help guide you in choosing the one that helps you lose weight and also compensate for any deficiency in vitamins and proteins your body needs.
Diets vary from those based more on fruits and vegetables to those that are based on low-fat dairy products seeds, nuts and proteins, or lean meats.

• Try not to fry food
• Reduce your food portions when serving meals
• Do not eat foods difficult to digest at night
• Do not eat sweets after noon
