1. Have a good sleep 😴
By not sleeping enough, we increase stress and hurt our immunity. If we're drinking coffee & tea all the time we may not even realize just how tired we really are. Because sleeping is important to rebuilding a struggling immune system, we need to let ourselves sleep as much as we need
2. Reduce Stress 😞
When we are stressed out our body produces stress hormones that tax the immune system. So one of the most important ways to boost immunity is to reduce stress. To reduce stress, it's key to ensure you have work-life balance, take breaks, when you need them and to employ some calming or relaxing stress-reduction techniques.
3. Exercise, but not too much 💪
Exercise can be one of the best things to do to boost immunity. But we have to be careful because too much excercise is stressful on the body and can be tough on our immune system. So just keep the other tips in mind: Keep stress low, and if you're tired, then rest.
4. Healthy Food & vitamins 🥦
To support your immune system, you can eat immunity supporting foods like citrus fruits, garlic, broccoli, and spinach. If your immune system is already weak, it can also be helpful to supplement with key vitamins and minerals that may have become depleted like Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Vitamin D, and Zinc.
5. Avoid certain food & alcohol 🍺
Sugar, processed meat, vegetable oils, and alcohol tend to be inflammatory foods so they busy the immune system, leaving other problems in your body unaddressed. That's why it can be really helpful to remove these inflammatory foods if we want a healthy immune system.
