Mark has shared his six tips to improve emotional health and bolster immune functioning before, but we encourage you to review them again and work towards them:

1. Connect regularly with family and friends. A virtual conversation is better than no conversation.

2. Exercise at least 60 minutes a day. Note this doesn’t mean 60 minutes of continuous exercise, rather the total amount accumulated throughout your day.

3. Sleep at least seven to eight hours a night in a cool and dark place. Turn off light-emitting devices two hours before bedtime for the best sleep.

4. Practice mindfulness 20 minutes a day to find comfort in the present moment.

5. Eat healthy, whole foods that nourish and fuel your body for optimal performance. Similarly, consider increasing water intake and decreasing consumption of sugar-laden, caffeinated, or alcoholic beverages.

6. Seek mental health support if you notice persistent or increasing symptoms. Please contact your health care provider to be connected to a mental health professional. If you are in crisis, please contact a crisis hotline.
