Ways to Boost Your Immunity:
1. Eat a Balanced Diet:
-
Load up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
-
Foods rich in vitamins C, D, E, zinc, and antioxidants are especially helpful (e.g., citrus fruits, nuts, seeds, spinach, salmon).
2. Get Enough Sleep:
Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night. Sleep helps your body repair and regulate immune function.
3. Manage Stress:
Chronic stress weakens immunity. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
4. Exercise Regularly:
Moderate exercise boosts immune function and circulation. Aim for at least 30 minutes most days.
5. Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water to help your body flush out toxins.
6. Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol:
Both can impair immune response.
7. Practice Good Hygiene:
Wash hands regularly and avoid close contact with sick people.
8. Consider Supplements (with doctor’s advice):
Vitamin D, zinc, or probiotics may help if you’re deficient.
