Healthy Ways to Beat the Flu Season with Olive Leaf Extract

Filed under: Health and Fitness — Tags: , , — nbarrett @ 2:22 pm

Instead of taking the ‘flu-shot’, which actually lowers your own immune system, not to mention the fact that it fills your body with the stuff you don’t want… Sickness!!!

Move away from Sudafed and all the over the counter “Wonder chemicals,” as they just mask the symptoms… alas after 3 weeks of use one is better!!!

Beat the Flu Naturally Occurring Supplements

Research has shown that Olive Leaf Extract with high levels of Oleuropein can offer the best way to boost immune system against many types of bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungi.

The great thing about olive leaf (Oleuropein), is that unlike synthetic flu shots or antibiotics, it does not destroy the good bacteria, only the bad bacteria. It acts as a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic, anti-viral/fungal, anti-bacterial compound.

It does this when taken orally, by dissolving the outer lining of the infectious germs, and hence then penetrates the infectious germs/cells preventing more from forming.

The effective part of Olive Leaf is a phyto-chemical compound called Oleuropein extracted from Mission and Manzanillo olive trees.  (Learn more about maintaining optimal fitness by taking the right supplements here).

A person’s immune system becomes weakened when fighting an influx of bacteria and infectious germs, making the body more susceptible to sickness.

When Olive leaf is taken orally, two natural enzymes in the body – esteraize and beta-glucosidase – convert the Oleuropein in Olive leaf to elolenic acid. Elolenic acid helps boost your immune system.

Recommended Dosage for Olive Leaf Extract Supplement

  • 2 capsules 900MG ( approx) 3* per day for 3 days when symptoms first occur.
  • 1 capsule 2x per day for maintenance.

Resetting Goals

There are many ways to reach goals,and using the following tools will help you:

1) Write down all your goals to give them more force and have a clear picture of what you want.

2) Be Precise

Set deadlines, putting dates and time by when goals need to be achieved. Keep goals incremental and attainable, that way you will know when an exact goal has been met. Always reward yourself for having achieved it.

3) Prioritize

When you have several goals, set them by priority. This helps make them stronger by compartmentalizing them, and not diluting by having too many set at one time, often leading to stress and reduced quality of completion.

4) Set goals that are “performance” related, not outcome focused

It is best to set goals that you have more influence as to their outcome. It can be disappointing to set goals that you don’t reach due to extenuating circumstances, business climate, bad judgment, poor weather etc. Outcome goals are uncertain due to the intangibles.

If goals are set on personal performance,or information/ skill to be acquired, then it is easier to influence the goals and gain satisfaction from them.

For example if you enter a Marathon and set a goal of being in the top 2000 finishers,you might achieve a personal best time in the race, but not be satisfied as you did not finish in the top 2000 finishers . As you set the outcome of finishing in the top 2000 finishers, then this would be a defeat. If you set a performance goal of achieving a certain time, then you will have achieved that goal and can draw confidence and personal satisfaction from this goal.

5) Keep goals small

What I mean by this is, set them as step by step to achieving your bigger goals. Derive today’s goals from larger ones. Always reward yourself, taking in the importance of the goal has on effecting others , and use the achievement of each to move you to the next.

SMART Goals Are:

* Specific
* Measurable
* Attainable
* Relevant
* Time- bound
