Build A Healthy Immune System

Build a Healthy Immune System

With the ongoing global pandemic, health is at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Staying healthy is important now more than ever, and what we do to protect ourselves will have lasting effects on our future. Building a strong immune system is key to staying healthy and maintaining an active lifestyle. Two of the best ways to stop the spread of disease is to follow guidelines provided by the CDC and boost your immune system.

 

We want our patients and our communities to stay healthy. That’s been one of our goals since the beginning, and building a healthy immune system is key. Follow these expert tips to keep your immune system running smoothly and even give it the boost it needs to fight off harmful pathogens.

 

Consume vitamin C-rich foods

It is no secret that vitamin C boosts immunity. While most of us may choose orange juice when getting our vitamin C, keep in mind that juice may contain a lot of sugar. Opt for a whole orange, broccoli, kiwis or cantaloupe instead to get the most benefits from your vitamin C.

 

Take vitamin D supplements

Vitamin D, or the sunshine vitamin, plays a crucial role in overall wellness.  Most people don’t get enough vitamin D in their diet, depriving themselves of amazing benefits. Vitamin D helps promote healthy bones, support the immune system, enhance lung function and even helps improve overall mood. As the virus behind the current global pandemic seems to affect the lungs in particular, a boost in vitamin D may help prevent adverse effects while boosting the immune system.

 

Get plenty of rest

While sleep alone may not prevent you from getting sick, it does aid in immune function. Sleep helps immune cells (T cells) work more effectively by better identifying and destroying harmful pathogens. It is recommended that adults get at least 7 hours of sleep per night to experience improved health and wellbeing.

 

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise promotes immune function by slowing the release of stress hormones, which may have made the body vulnerable to illness. It also helps flush bacteria away from the lungs and airways, clearing any harmful pathogens from these areas. Thirty minutes of mild to moderate intensity workouts are great for beginners to get started. These exercises can even be practiced in your home while you engage in safe social distancing.
