Thank you to Damon for the live Body Challenge workout today! We've created a private 'group exercise' group for our current members to join so that together we can stay accountable for exercise! There we'll try to do some more live videos, post workouts you can do at home and share health and fitness tips. If you are a current member, private message one of us and we can add you to the group. Some of you have already been added, so if you're interested, please accept the invite :) Stay safe and don't forget to wash your hands! -Nicole

Hello! I’m going to (attempt) to hold a virtual Body Challenge class at normal time today.(12:20-12:50)
You’d need a set of dumbbells or bands, but if you don’t you can always use soup cans!
Who would be interested in tuning in? Like this post if you would.

Tell us what workouts have you been doing at home! So far I’ve been on a couple of bike rides, gone for some walks and I had to teach a strength class on Monday before gyms got shut down. Here’s a quick workout to try at home! Stay safe and smart, everyone! ~Nicole

Per Governor Hogan's order, the fitness center is now closed until further notice. We plan to re-open as soon as we are allowed. We encourage outdoor activities like hiking, biking and walking to continue getting some basic physical activity and of course, stress relief. Thank you for your patience!

With the concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19, the fitness center will be operating on limited hours. This week we will remain open 7am-3pm unless directed to close by CMS. I will post messages here on Facebook, as well as our website: www.eaafitness.com - stay safe everyone! And don't forget WASH YOUR HANDS :) ~Nicole

What to Eat to Boost Your Immune System
Sally Kuzemchak, MS, RD

Wouldn’t it be nice if eating a particular food could magically protect you against all the nasty bugs floating around? (Even better, if this magical food happened to be, say, chocolate?)

It’s not that simple, of course. Handwashing remains your best defense against picking up viruses, and sleep is a crucial component of a strong defense too.

But what you eat does play a role in your ability to ward off colds and flu. Though it doesn’t boil down to just one or two foods, the nutrients and other compounds found in your daily diet have an impact on how weak or strong your immunity is. Here are some eating habits that can help you stay healthy:

Eat fruits & vegetables every day: Produce contains key vitamins involved in the immune system. Vitamin C in foods like strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, and citrus, helps immune system cells function, including phagocytes (the kind that engulfs potentially harmful particles). Vitamin A helps keep tissues in the mouth, intestines, and respiratory tract healthy and is found in sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, and cantaloupe. Remember that eating the actual fruit or veggie is better than popping single-vitamin supplements since it’s likely that all the components in the food interact to offer protection.

Get plenty of protein: Getting too little protein can weaken your immune system. Protein-rich foods supply the amino acids you need to build essential proteins in the body, including antibodies. Animal foods like beef and pork also contain zinc, a mineral that your body uses to make t-cells (you can find zinc in cashews and chickpeas too).

Include fermented foods: These are foods that are naturally preserved by bacteria, and they’re good for the “microbiome”. That’s the name for the trillions of bacteria that live in your gut, where a lot of cells involved in immunity actually reside. Fermented foods like yogurt (look for the term “live and active cultures” on the label), kefir, sauerkraut, miso, and kimchi help beneficial bacteria flourish in the gut, leaving less room for harmful bugs.

Season your meals: Every plant food has its own unique compounds that offer potential health-boosting benefits. Spices and seasonings like garlic, ginger, oregano, and cinnamon have all been researched for intriguing capabilities as anti-microbials, anti-inflammatories, and cell-protecting antioxidants. They’re not magic cure-alls, and popping them in the form of pills isn’t the same as eating the real deal. But adding flavor to foods with these ingredients means you’re getting even more beneficial compounds in the meals you eat every day.
