HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM

⚡With all the products and pharmaceutical products floating around, it’s easy to feel powerless over your health.

🍎But there actually are some steps you can take to help your immune system in top shape.

🏃‍♂️Taking action goes a LONG way toward moving you from overwhelmed to empowered.

🥦I’ve got a list of healthy immune-boosting actions you can take to get back that sense of control.

🥱Get enough sleep. This can help improve your body’s natural immune function. Aim for 7-8 hours a night.

🏃‍♀️Keep up with your fitness routine. Moderate to intense workouts lasting under an hour help boost your immune system both immediately and in the long run.

🧘‍♀️Cut back on your stress with scheduled downtime and breathing exercises. Chronic stress appears to wear down your immune system, which can make you more vulnerable to illness.

🍎Eat a healthy & balanced diet that’s low in sugar. A balanced diet that contains veggies, fruits, and healthy fats is rich in antioxidants and micronutrients that support your immune system.

🧊Stay hydrated. Drinking enough water makes it easier for your cells to do their job – plus allows your body to more easily process food and eliminate waste. Shoot for at least 8-10: 8-ounce (240 ml) glasses a day.

💉🩸My updated health journey ✋️

Liquid Gold. 🟡

This right here is my second iron infusion in two weeks.

Many have asked me if I feel it right away.

Unfortunately not.

I usually will get flu like symptoms and feel exhausted for a couple days after the infusion.

I had my first infusion two weeks ago and I felt so sick, unfortunately.

Then I got a sinus cold and flu right after so it probably all went hand in hand.

I have struggled to even get out of bed.
I have struggled to walk to feed the animals.
I have struggled to be able to stand long enough to make dinner for my family.

It has not been easy.

I know you do enjoy all of the videos and pictures 📸 of the animals on the farm 🚜 but it's important for me to share this part of who I am.

I don't want you to think that running a farm is easy.

Yes day to day operations can be fairly good as long as I am feeling well.

But struggles like these remind me of my amazing will to take care of myself first.

I spent years taking care of many other woman and their health journeys and goals. I encouraged, praised and respected the entire road of their journey.

I share my journey with you all, because I want you to know that you are not alone in your struggles.

I may not understand your pain 💔 or struggles but I do understand the process of not being ok.

I truly look forward to seeing my health journey improve so that I can share the ins and outs of the process of fitness, homesteading, homeschooling and farming all types of animals. 🐐🐽🐰🐔🐓🐣🦆🦚🪿🐱🐶🐢

Christina ❤️

Ps thank you for your prayers and blessings 🙌 🙏

[YOUR SUPPORT ON MY PAGE MEANS THE WORLD]

Backcountry Fitness with Christina Hooper

I have been struggling with Multiple Sclerosis for over 3 years now.

So hear I am getting yet another iron infusion. 🩸💉

And now the government has made a decision to no longer cover this.

So I have to pay for them now out of my own pocket.

I don't have a choice.

Iron supplements don't work.

Yes I eat lots of meat.

No my body does not absorb iron properly.

So here we are. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Liquid Gold.🟡

I would like to say that I am doing well, but it's actually been a struggle.

Things that have been happening to me lately:

❗️Extreme exhaustion and fatigue
❗️Body pain that lasts for many hours of the day
❗️Numbness and tingling sensations in my hands and fingers
❗️heart palpations
❗️shortness of breath
❗️dizziness
❗️Extreme Headaches

My next MRI is in one week to see how my Multiple Sclerosis is going.

"Is it getting worse? " is the first question that enters my mind.

I have to trust that it's going to be ok ...

Tuesday REAL TALK 👄

A question I get asked MANY times.

'How do you stay so positive during your Multiple Sclerosis journey?'

We all battle something.

I battle each day with Multiple Sclerosis and iron deficiency issues(when my levels deplete).

Two years ago my MRI Scan wasn't good.

My Relapsing-Remitting MS was aggressive.

My battles have included:
Headaches
Neck pain and stiffness all the time
Constant lack of appetite
Vision changes and eye pain
Changes in mood, personality, behavior, mental ability, and concentration
Memory loss and confusion

Last years MRI was surprisingly really positive.

But again lately I have been struggling.

I have many days where I struggle with even getting out of bed 🛌.

I have many days where the devil attacks me and says, "you aren't good enough, you aren't a good mother and you should just stay in bed."

Having a purpose with intention.

Stop those thoughts before you believe them and tell yourself what you intend to get done.

Each morning I have a decision to make:

Do I let Multiple sclerosis define who I am or do I let it push me to break through the barriers of these hurdles and say,
"not today devil, not today. "

Where does my strength come from ?

My faith in God pulls me through all of my hardships and keep me positive each day.

My strength to get up each day for my husband and for my children is what motivates me.

My commitment to my family and tend to the kids
Making meals for family, clean house, homeschooling to water all of the animals, milk my goat 🐐, pick eggs, clean out the pens and coops have not been easy.

Everyone has been helping out.

Let me be clear about one thing.

Rest is an important part of physical health too, and we do need to listen to our bodies too.

But don't let those negative thoughts define who you and and what you want to accomplish.

Don't let your battle define who you are.

Iron infusion to healing...yet again.

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
~Isaiah 40:10
