  1. Your gut health is not stable: A healthy belly is responsible for 70% of your immune system as the “good” bacteria in your belly helps prevent foreign invaders from penetrating your immune defenses. TO better belly health try eating Paleo-friendly foods like kimchi, herbal tea, and yogurt to get your daily dose of “good” bacteria. Also consume probiotics once in a while.
  1. You don’t wash your hands frequently: Do you wash your hands every time before you have lunch or any meal throughout the day? Your hands and nails are potent carriers of germs, viruses and bacteria which can cause a number of health diseases. So make sure you wash your hands before touching the food you eat.
