A healthy, balanced diet includes all the vitamins and micronutrients your system needs, including plenty of high-fiber fruit, vegetables, whole grains, good fats and lean proteins.
Meditate, practice mindful walking, or say no more often – do whatever works for you to bring down stress levels, which can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system.
Drinking your 2L a day is crucial for overall health, but water has a particularly important role in immune health: it helps the lymphatic system distribute infection-fighting cells around your body.
Besides the well known health benefits, regular exercise stimulates immune cells and promotes better sleep, and less stress and anxiety, all of which help keep your system in top shape.
Sufficient, high-quality sleep every night strengthens and balances your immune system so that it’s ready and able to do its job. A lack of sleep has been proven to interfere with its function.
