5 Ways To Boost Your Immune System

There are several dietary & lifestyle choices that may strengthen your body’s natural defences & help you fight harmful pathogens or disease-causing organisms.

Here are 5 tips to strengthen your immunity naturally.

5 Ways To Boost Your Immune System

Eat a Nutrient-Rich Diet

Your immune system is directly affected by the food you eat. Make sure to include organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, & lean meats in your diet. Reduce the consumption of processed foods & sugar.

Hydrate

You need to drink adequate amounts of water to ensure that your blood will carry plenty of oxygen to all the cells in your body so that your systems will function properly. Water flushes toxins through your kidneys, if you do not drink enough water, toxins will build up, weakening your immune system.

Stress Less

Stress weakens the immune system. The stress hormone corticosteroid suppresses the effectiveness of the immune system. it disrupts your equilibrium which significantly impairs your immune system from being able to control and eradicate infections.

Exercise Regularly

Physical activity improves your immune function by increasing the number of white blood cells, which are your body’s natural defence against viruses.

Take Immune Boosting Supplements

Elderberry, Echinacea, Astragalus, Turmeric, Oregano, Garlic, & Ginger are all herbs that can help enhance immune function.
