Share your personal diet routine. Also immunity boosters you have relied on?
Serena Poon:
I made sure that I ate TONS of vegetables every day (think “eat a rainbow”). When you eat the rainbow, you are not only taking in all the phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, you are also targeting the energy centers (the chakras) of your spiritual or energetic body.
Greens constitute 75% of my plate, and the rest were made up of vegetables of other colors (think carrots, radishes, beets, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, etc) and sometimes I would add some grains. I made sure to have either avocado, nuts or seeds (or a combo of all), every day for the healthy fats, the protein and the vital minerals that they offer. I recommend broths, either vegetable or bone broth (if you are not plant-based), as they are full of rich nutrients, especially good on the days that you don’t feel well.
During our COVID recovery, I used: extra zinc picolinate, liposomal vitamin C 2000mg 3-4x a day, liposomal glutathione, vitamin D, NAD+, NAC, magnesium glycinate, propolis, oil of oregano, astragalus, nettle leaf with quercetin, L-lysine and an ayurvedic immune blend. When respiratory issues were present, I drank a tea made with fresh thyme, citrus (lemon or orange, with the rind) and a bit of manuka honey. This tea was one of the most helpful things we did – when you have a sore throat, breathing/respiratory issues, coughing, chest congestion – drink this tea all day long! I also used a diffuser with a blend of wild oils: wild thyme, wild sage, wild bay leaf, wild oregano, cinnamon and cumin.

An Exercise routine is essential not only to keep us fit but stay positive & mentally fit. Share the Routine you follow.
Serena Poon:
My routines have changed throughout the years and I believe that you have to listen to what your body needs and responds to, and adjust accordingly.
A few years ago, I used to weight-lift about 6 days a week and do some occasional yoga or Pilates. Now, and especially during the pandemic, I found that stretching, walking, light yoga and floor pilates have been the most supportive for my body and my mind. I love having the rebounder and it’s such a great way to get the energy and the lymphatic system moving in your body and even low it’s low impact – you can make it more challenging by adjusting your movements and adding weights.
