Dr. Kim DiStefano · April 30, 2020 · 5 min read

As we age, our immune system naturally weakens. Here are TCM practitioner recommendations specifically for baby boomers looking to strengthen their immunity.

🍵

Warming Foods & Teas

Ginger tea, bone broth, and cooked warming foods support digestive strength and Wei Qi.

🌿

Astragalus (Huang Qi)

The premier immune-boosting herb, can be added to soups and broths.

Prioritize Sleep

Quality sleep is when Wei Qi regenerates—aim for 7-8 hours nightly.

🧘

Gentle Movement

Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and walking promote circulation without depleting Qi.
