10 Ways To Boost Your Immune System

10 Ways To Boost Your Immune System

 1. Diet

Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables which are rich in nutrients like vitamins C, and E,

beta-carotene, and, zinc.

 

2. Exercise

A daily 30-minute walk can help your immune system fight infection, boost your body's feel-

good chemicals and help you sleep better.

 

3. Sleep

Poor sleep can lead to higher levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, and increases inflammation

in your body.

 

4. Alcohol

Think moderation! Too much alcohol can also cause inflammation within the body and can

interfere with getting adequate restful sleep.

 

5. Stress

Stress hormones suppress the immune system. Try meditation, a calming app, just slow

down and connect with friends and family.

 

6. Supplements

Supplements that may help to support the immune response include Astragalus, Andrographis,

Echinacea, Vitamin C and Zinc.

 

7. Laughter

This wonderful expression encourages the brain to secrete endorphins, almost immediately

reducing the levels of stress in the body! Watch a comedy!!

 

8. Relationships

Having strong relationships and a sound social network is good for you!  Spend time with loved

ones and a community who share an interest or those who just inspire you!

 

9. Smoking

Stop! There are many options to help you quit, including patches, gum, or even clinical

hypnotherapy.

 

10. Sun

Direct sunlight is one of the major contributors to the production of Vitamin D in our body.

This vitamin is essential for healthy functioning of the immune system as it helps the body to

produce antibodies.

 

With these small changes in your daily routine, you can ensure a happy immune system!
