1) Increase Sleep Quality
This is my best piece of advice to anyone who wants to be healthy, beautiful, and successful in life. Sleep deprivation is the root cause of all problems in this life. People who do not get enough sleep most nights will experience a decrease in energy, productivity, appetite, and a variety of other factors.
Lack of sleep, depending on how much you missed, weakens your immune system by 20 to 40%, making it vulnerable to illnesses and viruses. It also weakens your digestive system, which has a connection to the health of your immune system.
2) Stress Less
In this life, our greatest adversary is stress. It drains your vital life force and makes you weaker. It may even put you on your knees, making you miserable and tired.
Chronic stress weakens your immune system, making you more susceptible to illness.
3) Improve Digestion
There is a strong link between digestive health and immune system function. A healthy digestive system supports a strong immune system.
The strong digestion system is dependent on regular healthy bowel movements. A regular bowel movement is essential for removing toxic waste from the colon and maintaining a healthy immune system.
4) Water
Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water per day, depending on your body weight and level of activity. Hydration is essential for all aspects of health, from digestion to immunity. More water is especially important if you are sick and have a headache.
5) Prevention is Key
Maintain good hygiene by regularly washing your hands and carrying hand sanitizer with you. To avoid contracting the virus, avoid contact with people who are already sick. Always eat well and get enough sleep.
6) Oregano Oil
A few drops of this potent essential oil may be sufficient to kill viruses and intestinal parasites. Because of its potent antibacterial properties, it is used as a natural antibiotic to treat colds and flu.
7) Green Smoothies.
Green smoothies and juicing green leafy vegetables are nutritious and beneficial to the immune system. Drink it on a regular basis to keep your immune system in good shape.
Combine dark green leafy vegetables with your favorite fruits, such as berries and avocado. Celery, kale, apple, and pineapple are good combinations for juicing green leafy vegetables
8) Move, Exercise
Sitting and not moving for an extended period of time reduces the power of your organs, weakening your immune system. Stretch frequently and exercise regularly to keep your immune system functioning properly.
9) Rest
Take regular breaks, and if necessary, nap. De-clutter your mind and remember to take deep breaths whenever you can.
10) Avoid Junk Food
Junk food contains a lot of additives and toxic ingredients that are bad for your immune system and digestive health. To stay strong and vital, ditch junk food and replace it with a healthier option.
11) Find your Healthy Weight
I believe that we all function differently at different body weights. Being overweight may contribute to a variety of illnesses, including a weakened immune system.
Being underweight is also harmful to your health because of malnutrition and the body’s inability to overcome the obstacles one may face. To look and feel your best, find and maintain your optimal and ideal weight
12) Meditate and Relaxation Techniques
One of the most effective ways to reduce stress and boost your immune system is to practice daily meditation and relaxation exercises such as deep breathing. If you haven’t tried yoga yet, you should do so. It is an excellent method for reducing stress and eliminating toxins.
13) Surround Yourself with Loved Ones
Surround yourself with positive people. People you care about and love. This will make you feel good and secure. Being around loved ones boosts and strengthens our immune system.
14) Laugh and Have Fun
Don’t be sad and depressed; instead, try to laugh and have fun. Watch comedy movies, go out socializing with friends, or even make a new friend. The cognitive stimulation of socialization, as well as a number of other factors, all positively impact the immune system response.
15) Avoid Sugar
If you want a stronger immune system, one of the first things you should eliminate from your diet is sugar. Sugar has the potential to suppress your immune system and weaken your defenses against infectious diseases. It can also reduce white blood cell ability to kill germs by around 30%.
Certain foods make my body extremely sensitive. If I eat sugar in certain amounts and at the wrong time, I immediately feel the negative effects. I start having digestive problems and feel terrible afterward. So you should be aware of how harmful sugar is to one’s health.
16) Boost your Zinc Levels
Zinc is most likely the most important mineral for our overall health and well-being. Many people are deficient in this mineral but are unaware of it. Stress and poor eating habits can easily lead to zinc deficiency. However, correcting the deficiency is difficult for some people.
Zinc deficiency is one of the causes of digestion issues, which are linked to immune system health. Not getting sick on a regular basis does not imply that you are zinc deficient or that you have a strong immune system. The immune system is a much broader concept than a cold or seasonal flu.
17) Increase Selenium
Low levels of selenium are the most common cause of your immune system’s dysfunction. I researched this for years and finally concluded from my experiences and experiments that selenium levels are the key to immunity. Viral infections and other infections are caused by a lack of this vital mineral in the body.
18) Vitamin C and Antioxidants
Vitamin C is an excellent way to support your immune system. You should eat a couple of servings of fruits and vegetables every day. The body requires adequate nutrient intake to keep up with daily activities and avoid becoming ill or fatigued.
Camu camu is a superfood that contains an abundance of vitamin C per serving and can be included in your diet. Rosehips, mulberries and acai are my favourite superfruits that contain the highest vitamin C.
19) Add some Sunshine
Don’t overlook the importance of sunlight and Vitamin D. This essential vitamin is required for proper body function. Vitamin D is necessary for optimal hormone and organ function.
One of the biggest reasons why people tend to get sick during the colder season is because of the low levels of sunshine along with lack of nutrition So, whenever you have the opportunity, go out and enjoy the sun because you may not always have this opportunity, especially if you live in a country with low average sunshine hours.
20) Garlic
Garlic is a strong anti-oxidant and a natural virus killer. Garlic has the ability to boost your immune system by increasing the rate at which your natural killer cells are produced. Combine garlic and parsley in a bowl and serve with your favorite natural yogurt.
21) Ginger
Ginger may improve immune health due to its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is beneficial to both your immune system and digestion. Ginger can stimulate the lymphatic system, which aids in the removal of toxins from the body.
22) Hot Teas with Lemon
Drink a cup of hot herbal tea with a slice of lemon. Tea antioxidants help to rejuvenate cells and prepare them to fight illness. Rose Hip Tea, which is high in vitamin C, is one of my favorite teas. Another excellent combination is ginger and chamomile.
23) Probiotics
Probiotics can boost the body’s immune function and assist the body in warding off infections. Probiotics also keep the gut healthy, to ensure the immune system functions well.
24) Eat More Vegetables and Fiber
Consume more green leafy vegetables to strengthen your immune system. Kale, Spinach, Broccoli, and Dandelion are all healthy choices. They are also effective immune boosters due to high levels of vitamins C and K, as well as beta carotene, folate, and fiber.
25) Cut Back on Alcohol
Alcohol weakens the immune system and raises the risk of adverse medical conditions. The immune system is weakened by excessive drinking. This makes it easier to become ill and more difficult to recover from illness. Furthermore, excessive alcohol consumption makes the body more vulnerable to infections.
26) Omega 3
By improving and enhancing immune cells, omega-3 fatty acids can help boost the immune system. These healthy fats reduce inflammation and boost the activity of phagocytes, which are cells that literally kill the bad guys.
Omega-3 fatty acids boost the immune system by acting as an anti-inflammatory. While EPA keeps inflammation from becoming too severe, DHA is in charge of total healing from inflammation processes.
27) Don’t Masturbate Frequently
Don’t believe anyone who claims masturbation is a healthy practice. While doing so in moderation is fine and can even be a stress relief, masturbation, especially in men, can cause nutrient deficiencies, brain fog, and adrenal fatigue.
Excessive masturbation puts too much pressure on organs, the immune system, and the digestive system. It is acceptable to do it on occasion if you have no other option for stress relief. To avoid over-masturbation, I recommend that you try meditation, yoga and praying.
This bad habit depletes your precious vitality and negatively affects your immune and digestive systems. So, instead of watching porn, use your valuable energy to heal and strengthen your immune system with the aforementioned beneficial tips.
28) Massage
The built-up stress begins to weaken your immune system. So, get some massages on a regular basis to improve blood and lymphatic circulation, which will keep you healthier and help to improve your immune system.
29) Choose Healthy Oils
Unhealthy oils found in fast food cause inflammation in the body and weaken the immune system. So, to keep your system healthy, try to use healthy oils like olive oil to balance the cholesterol.
Extra virgin olive oil is an excellent choice for supporting your immune system because of its high antioxidant content, which provides superior defense against infection-causing agents.
30) Fresh Air
Every cell in the body requires oxygen to survive. Fresh air is beneficial for a variety of reasons, including improved mood, happiness, and digestion. Fresh air also helps to boost your immune system.
If someone in the house is sick, either go outside frequently to get fresh air or open the windows frequently. Spending time in nature can support your immune system and your overall health.
