The immune system needs to be strong enough to fight off infections and illnesses, but not so much that it unnecessarily overreacts (which may cause autoimmune disorders). It is not easy, but according to science, these are the best ways to help boost one’s immune health:
- Make sure you are well-rested.
Get plenty of quality sleep every night (ideally 7-9 hours). Our bodies create important molecules that fight infection while we sleep. You should also learn to minimize your stress levels. Stress may eventually impact your health, including the immune system. When our bodies try to respond to stress, it also suppresses the immune system. - Take care of your health and wellness.
It is important to stay fit and healthy as it can affect all our bodily functions, including the immune system. So, be careful of what you eat. Eat a nutritious, well-balanced, and healthy diet, stay hydrated, and exercise regularly. You may ask your doctor about the best diet and exercise plan for you. - Get vaccinated.
Doctors have always recommended getting immunized ever since we were babies. This is due to the many health benefits of vaccines. And getting vaccinated even as adults and seniors is still good for our immune system. Stay up-to-date on the recommended vaccinations or consult your doctor.
