Thank you I have multiple sclerosis and since I've change my diet to switch to a plant-based one, the inflammations are decreasing ! And it's better for animals and the Earth as well :)

[@d.h.9278]

Staying happy/positive is very important for your health- even with pandemics/environmental ravages.

[@thehappypear]

We 100% agree. Once you give up a little your body can start to spiral a bit. Positive mental attitude for the win.

[@bodybykondi2246]

I totally agree - just as important as what you eat!

[@samanthageiger5851]

I’m going to pretend you lads are my friends and family so I can feel more supported in making choices that’ll create a cycle of goodness!

[@thehappypear]

We're all a big family here! You can do it!! We'll always support positive change.

[@wonderwoman5528]

Aw, sweet comment :)

[@russb24]

In addition to brightly colored fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices are also some of the highest antioxidant foods. They are great pantry staples and can be added to just about any meal. Also great is tea (but without dairy milk, which binds the antioxidants).

[@jeanneamato8278]

Thinking of you and your viewers. Wishing you all love,strength,and vegan health

Our food stores (United States, New Mexico) have had serious shortages of late, but there has still been plenty of fresh parsley, cilantro, and garlic. Voila! Chimichurri sauce and lots of it is what i've been making. Thank you so much for your videos, information and generosity.

[@thehappypear]

Thanks a million Catherine! It's unnerving when the supermarkets get empty and all thats left is the healthy foods.

[@IZLALE]

Loved this video! I am a big fan of eating more fiber rich foods, eating bright colored fruits/veggies and surrounding myself with positive likeminded people. I really liked the information gathered here today. I also appreciate your enthusiasm! Thank you guys for brightening up our lives! Please stay safe and healthy.

[@bodybykondi2246]

me too!! It's so important to "eat the rainbow" to give your body what it needs!

[@chengfusaechao7243]

This is what i like..... straight to KZbin videos, unlike some videos..there's so many useless Ad's..

[@remuswalks3192]

Thanks for the great video! Consistently moving while working at home is my goal... and using a candle in the evenings. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@thehappypear]

Amazing Rosemary! Hope you enjoy your relaxing candle lit evenings. :D

[@plantplottersparadise4005]

Great opportunity for many to realise that eating healthy whole foods is key 🔑 to life. Thanks lads 😊 Hopefully this pandemic will get more to cook their own healthy foods Ps- I would have mentioned vitamin C and D 😉

[@thehappypear]

Thanks a million. We hope more people cook healthy too

[@elizabethlord8227]

I think you have explained those points brilliantly, thanks fellas, always love your posts. I have shared this on Facebook

[@thehappypear]

Thanks a million Elizabeth! Really appreciate it.

[@SheWhoWoodworks]

I made my bedroom cooler since the video you guys did a while ago where you talked about sleep tips. 😊👍 And diet I believe is most important of all these but all are essential ♥️

[@joelleaittama1416]

I just had to say that I made the immune soup. I added dry black and brown lentils and three Yukon gold potatoes, and it’s now my new favorite soup. I really think the Tamari kicked it up a notch or two.

[@bodybykondi2246]

Tamari is such a great addition to soup for a pop of flavour!

[@edwinaforkin3190]

Thanks guys good to get a reminder in these current times ex

[@thehappypear]

Yeah, it’s really easy to do too

[@nachovalenti]

Very good video and I’m totally agree and also it’s so important to be positive and smile and laugh at least 5 minutes per day. Thanks for sharing. Yes

[@thehappypear]

We 100% agree with that. So good for releasing the good chemicals in your body.

[@IanParker]

Thanks Dudes... brilliant as always!

[@thehappypear]

Thanks a million Ian!!

[@Nephthy666]

No hanging out with anyone in America right now...but the rest was great advice 😊

[@consciousobserver629]

The one thing people haven't been highlighting is how physical touch boosts our immune systems! Sex is a great immune booster, but other forms of touch work, too.

[@thehappypear]

We did mention putting this in but we know there is a much younger audience for our videos too. 😅

[@lisalaurel1352]

Turns out getting physical touch is quite hard these days 😂

[@colin6673]

Self touch 😜

[@lisalaurel1352]

@@colin6673 true that :P

[@bodybykondi2246]

absolutely!! There may be a lot of babies that come from this quarantine lol

[@evileyelash8094]

Loved it! Especially the tip about moving as it can be extra challenging with the quarantining and restrictions on going out at the moment. Thank you :)

[@misterellis2357]

This vid will really help me-thanks. I would like to see you discuss oil free and fat free options in your cooking. I need to have low-fat dishes and no added oil/fat. It breaks my heart that I can’t add coconut oil to my curries. But that’s just the way it has to be (medically) for me. Thanks!

[@jeanmorris6601]

Mister Ellis watch The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show on you tube for oil free cooking

[@judesgoldpearls7828]

Love your videos! Best vegan chefs on KZbin!

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

Thank you for the good video!

Thanks lads, golden advice!

Thanks a million for watching Pat! Hope you're healthy and happy. :D

These days. We’re enjoying all our video chats with friends and family. 😀😀

[@lovefirst2725]

thanks guys :)

[@thehappypear]

Thanks a mill for watching Monica. 😀😀

[@katygreenwich]

So happy I’m watching this after just having green lentil Ragu! X

[@thehappypear]

Oh looovely!! Thanks so much for watching Katy!

[@getguthealthy5387]

Yesssss! Plant based for the win 🌱

[@thehappypear]

100% Can't champion them enough. :D

[@merefrog]

Excellent suggestions. I would add deep diaphragmatic breathing, knitting, bike riding, gardening and reading.

[@thehappypear]

Nice additions Mere! Hope you're healthy and happy.

[@sarahbird8052]

Thanks for the tips.x

[@asiyam3583]

Great info thanks 🙂

[@thehappypear]

Glad it was helpful Asiya. 😀

[@TheBernd1966]

Greetings fromm Germany. Superb show👍

[@saamokari2356]

Find ich auch 🌱🌻

[@eric69571]

Just a reminder that now is not the time to be hanging around friends. It is time to work on self discipline and implementing these healthy choices on your own.

[@thehappypear]

Wise words Eric!! One thing from all of this is people uninterrupted connection with themselves.

[@md61211]

You only mentioned 4 off the 5 sleep points. What's the 5th?

[@annak3380]

I love you guys but what are the 5 foods from the title? Did you mean 5 things? Xxx

[@thehappypear]

Yup 😭

[@Didi38]

I love you guys. 😍🤗

[@blackcat3585]

Green tea... if you can stomach it 😅

[@esterstella4333]

lighting a candle before going to sleep may not be a very good idea... unless you want to be woken up by a fire burning down your house 🙈 ☺

[@thehappypear]

Light candles before you go asleep to relax. Obviously blow them out before falling asleep 😅

[@esterstella4333]

@@thehappypear that's the challenge 😉

[@Prancer1231]

Battery-operated ones are safer.

[@HappyDancerInPink]

Do yous get sick often?

[@thehappypear]

Not very often at all. We still suffer some allergies and dry skin though.

[@not-a-ghost2206]

Everyone is buying noodles and tomatosauce.. great, more vegetables/fruits for us 🙌 (Joke, keep helping others. Spread the message!)

[@thehappypear]

It is very unnerving that all the healthy food get left behind. We've been giving out free meals to people that can't make it to the supermarkets and they've all been enjoying the healthy meals, hopefully it sticks with them. :D

[@dricklypick2144]

Someones studying Lifestyle Medicine?

[@thehappypear]

Ah we're always studying something. :D We've been witting online courses for years now and some of it sticks, haha.

[@edwinaforkin3190]

Sleep

[@icildawillis2477]

❤️❤️❤️👍👏

[@thehappypear]

Fair play Icilda!!! Hope you have a great week.

[@Miyankochan]

actively try to calm down? i would like to calm down passively O_O

[@thehappypear]

Maybe be more contious of breath would have been a better suggestion.
