Enhance Your Immunity

Here's What You Need To Know About Building Your Immunity

You’ve probably seen website ads and natural food stores promoting miracle foods and potions that claim to boost your immune system. Are they worth the money?

A healthy lifestyle will probably do more for your immune system than anything you can buy.

The same habits that keep you strong and fit will maximize your resistance to infection and illness.

At the same time, it’s important to follow the advice of public health experts related to contagious illnesses such as COVID-19. Practice social distancing, wash your hands frequently, and call your doctor promptly if you have any symptoms that concern you.

Sensible precautions and healthy choices can lower your risk of disease. Consider these simple ways to enhance your immunity…

Eat produce

Vegetables and fruits are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that help fight inflammation. Current federal guidelines recommend one and a half to two cups of fruit and two to two and a half cups of vegetables each day.

Add herbs

Ancient customs and modern medicine support the theory that certain herbs aid immune functions. Such herbs include garlic, ginger, and turmeric

Avoid sugar

In addition to empty calories, sugar can increase your risk for heart attack and stroke. The average American consumes 17 teaspoons daily, far more than the American Heart Association’s maximum of 9 teaspoons for men and 6 for women.

Increase fiber

High-fiber foods positively affect your gut microbiome and immune functioning. Good choices include apples, potatoes, dark-colored vegetables, beans, nuts, and whole grains

Consider supplements

You may want to take supplements if it’s difficult to meet your nutritional needs through diet alone. Talk with your doctor about your individual requirements.

Drink tea.

Tea contains a special kind of antioxidants called flavonoids that enhance immune function. Along with water, unsweetened tea also helps you to stay hydrated without extra calories.
