Dr. Doni Wilson outlines four lifestyle changes to help your body fight HPV: clean eating with less sugar and alcohol, 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep, stress-reduction practices like yoga or time in nature, and gentle exercise starting with five minutes a day.
7½ to 8 hours per night.
About five minutes of movement (e.g., a walk or five minutes of Pilates).
If you're feeling overwhelmed with high risk HPV virus, let's chat about some simple lifestyle changes you can make to support your body's natural defenses. I like to use the acronym CARE to remind you of some lifestyle changes that can make a big difference. The C in Care stands for clean eating. This can start with reducing your sugar and alcohol intake because sugar and alcohol both reduce your immune system and your ability to protect yourself from high risk HPV virus. The A in CARE stands for adequate sleep, so this means making sure you get to bed early enough that you can get 7 1/2 to 8 hours of sleep every night. R in Care stands for Recovery activities. Any kind of activity that helps you to recover from stress. Time in nature, Yoga, any other activities that you enjoy that will help you to recover from the stress that you're exposed to each and every day. The E in CARE stands for exercise. Exercise could mean starting even with five minutes of movement, either a walk, five minutes of Pilates at home. So you want to start simple with your exercise and not overdo it either. If we overdo some activities like exercise, it can actually become more of a stress. The whole idea behind these lifestyle changes is to do it in a way that's gentle and loving for yourself and your body, allowing you to take better care of yourself each and every day and.
