6 Ways To Strengthen Immune System With Good Habits
Immune system
With the rise of awareness of the ever-changing and unpredictable threats associated with infections, more and more people are wondering how to strengthen their immune system.
The most efficient way to build up a strong immunity is to develop a set of good habits. Incorporating them into your daily routine makes all the difference between having a weak and strong immune response.1 Read on for a list of good habits to support your immune system!
Take it easy
As it was proven by scientists, constant stress can lead to a weakened immune system.2 Many people often underestimate emotions and feelings as something that has a true impact on our wellbeing.3 The fact remains, however, that along with nutrition and sleep, psychological stress is a key factor linked with the state of your immune system.4 And there are times in our life when we feel ill after an intense emotional experience or a prolonged, taxing project.
Take up exercising
You know how it goes – a sound mind in a sound body. It is a well-established fact that regular physical activity strongly affects your immunity and helps you avoid illness.5 If you aren’t active, start working out, jogging or even walking several times a week. Exercise adds up and makes for a stronger immune system.6 So, if you want your body to be better at fighting and resisting illness – work it!
Take medication only as prescribed by your doctor
Let’s start off by saying that there is medication which boosts and bolsters your immune system, and we will cover it in our next tip.
Certain medications, such as antibiotics, can significantly weaken our immune system.7 Unfortunately, in certain circumstances, they are impossible to avoid. Because of their impact on our bodies, antibiotics should only be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The key is to stick to the treatment dosage and duration.
Eat a healthy diet
We’ve mentioned your diet already, but it deserves a separate point. Nutrition strongly affects your body’s immune response, so make a habit of eating healthy, unprocessed and fresh food, and make fruits and vegetables a part of your daily meals. Alcohol consumption will make it even more challenging for your immune system to fend off various infections.8 Remember that nutrition gives your body the energy while micronutrients are required for the development, maintenance and expression of the immune response.9 Why not take up cooking while at it?
Supplement with vitamins
A very important point. Stress, physical hardships, your work – all of this can be truly exhausting to your body and put your immune system under strain.10 That is when it may need a little bit of outside help in the form of essential vitamins. The best way to ensure a sufficient intake is by eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.11 But if you think you might not be getting enough micronutrients, consider taking a supplement like Redoxon that helps strengthen your immunity with vitamin.12
Stay positive
Positive thinking can be a positive change for other areas of your life, too - time to change your mindset!
