We’ve been experiencing information overload with the COVID-19 virus that has quickly spread across the world. However, staying healthy is and has always been a priority for us at Sagicor.  While we do want to reinforce some tips to help fight the virus, we also want to share some tips that we hope you make a regular part of your lifestyle. 

Stay Healthy
Stay Active- Keeping active is essential for both physical and mental wellbeing. At least 30 minutes a day is recommended. Take a walk or a jog, just keep moving.

Eat healthy – Take small steps such opting for water instead of soft drinks or swapping out fruits for your regular snacks. Choose a day to switch it up and go from there.

Stop Smoking–  Making the decision to stop smoking, reduces the risk of developing cancer and boosts your general health.

Boosting Immune System 
We’ve been hearing about our immune system quite often with the spread of COVID-19. Your immune system is not a single entity. It’s a system or network of tissues, cells and organs including your tonsils, digestive system, skin, bone marrow, nose, throat and so much more. Speak to a professional to learn and understand more about the immune system and how it works. 
What we can tell you, is that we need it to fight off germs, bacteria and viruses. We also need it to help us recover when sick. How do we boost the immune system? Well, follow the health tips above and seek medical advice.
