Feel A Lil' Better: Because We All Need To Boost Our Immune Systems

In This Article:

No matter how good (or bad) you'd describe your health, one thing is for sure: a little boost is ALWAYS a good idea. Whether that's reading a new, motivating book, or listening to a song that speaks to your soul, there are plenty of resources to help your health thrive on any given day.

As coronavirus continues to work its way through the United States, we're all growing intensely aware of how our bodies are feeling. Is that cough allergies or am I suddenly a threat to my roommates? One way or the other, masses of people are buying immunity shots, stocking up on vitamins, and freaking out that they haven't done "enough" as soon as the sniffles make an appearance.

It's crucial for all of us to do what we can to boost our immune system — not just in times of global pandemic, but for the sake of our long-term health. A strong immune system can ward off disease, and taking the steps to strengthen yours is sure to provide a little peace of mind as well.

Each week, we're bringing you the best resources and influencers to give you a health boost. Here's what we're following this week for boosting immune systems.

Book: "The Beautiful Cure: Harnessing Your Body's Natural Defenses"

Playlist: Songs to Sing in the Car

When you're happy, your body produces hormones (endorphins, dopamine and serotonin) that keep the good vibes coming. These hormones also encourage immunity health. Turn those angsty tunes off and pump up the songs that make you happiest. Heck, have a dance party and release those exercise endorphins too — you've got the extra time, might as well!

BONUS: Immunity gummies

A gummy a day, as they say!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it.
