The immune system is of your body shields you from succumbing to any little ailment that your body is susceptible to every now and then. In this sense keeping your immune system alive and charged is inevitable for survival. In the following are a few tips to have you attain that:

Having sufficient sleep — the first pre-requisite:

For a human body to function properly, adequate sleep is as essential as nutrition. A good night’s sleep is not only mandatory for the physical functions, but also for the mental and emotional well being. While you are sleeping, your body is in a state of ‘suspended animation’.

This dormant stage, THE SLEEP, is a time for repairing anything damaged at cellular level — a healing process which is faster than the one while you are awake predominantly including the immune system.

If you are short sleeping for about 3 or 4 hours daily, your body will get stressful and weary, i.e. its ability to synthesize essential materials meant for smooth functioning gets undermined, consequently your immune system’s strength is compromised.

Proper Nutrition and Balanced Diet — the second pre-requisite

The immune system has a lot to do with the blood circulation, which is a phenomenon of the vascular system that, in turn, relies largely on proper and balanced nutrition.

In view of the supposed complexity of the immune system, there is no particular MAGIC FOOD that would help you relieve ailment. Rather, a proportioned blend of multi food groups, such as of the following description, is a great source of boosting your immune system’s vigor:

  • Plenty of vitamins, e.g. A and C
  • Antioxidants like in green tea
  • Protein acquired from lean meats and fish
  • Curtailment of trans fats instead of unsaturated fats

Incorporate vitamin and mineral supplements in your diet

The natural and the preferred source of vitamins and minerals is your food, as the body extracts nutrients from it at a faster rate. Nevertheless, if you can’t intake a certain range of food owing to any reason, the next available option available for you is to acquire them from multivitamin and mineral supplements, available in the market.

A regular physical activity

Physical workouts not only drain out excessive fats from your body but also boost your blood circulation on which your immune system is greatly dependent. Moreover, physical activity makes you perspire, flushing toxins out of your body that may interfere with the immune system. “Flushing out” is a blanket term that may entail activation of normal bowel movement contributing toward excretion of unwanted materials from the body.

Reduce Stress

Research has unraveled that stress and mental tension deteriorate your health by eroding your immune system. After doing a hectic job, take the time to relax and recover. Get used to activities, like yogic meditation, culminating in mental peace. Avoid taking pains on issues you can’t sort out at your own.

Cautionary Note: It is pertinent to acknowledge that medication can help you prevent infections only. On top of any external supplement, the most vital thing is your immune system — the last line of defense against pathogens. Boost it to optimum to ensure a long and energetic life!
