Your immunity needs more attention in the spring. The change of seasons causes changes in the body and a decrease in protective functions. The COVID-19 pandemic is aggravating the situation, and the incidence rate is increasing several times. Therefore, you need to make every effort to improve your health during this difficult period.
Doctors recommend using healthy ways to increase immunity.
Healthy diet.
Food provides you with many beneficial nutrients that build your immune system. If you want to be healthy, you should include foods such as vegetables, fruits, and herbs in your diet. These foods are anti-viral and can help fight infection. Also, you need to avoid deficiency of elements such as iron, copper, zinc, selenium, vitamins A, C, E, B6, and B12. A healthy diet is about a balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. If you exclude one of the food groups, you create a risk to your health. You shouldn’t stick to restrictive diets during this period.
Emotional health.
Stress is one of the factors causing various diseases and reduced immunity. Stress triggers the production of cortisol, which disrupts the immune system. As a result of chronic stress, your body is unable to effectively resist viruses and bacteria. Use healthy ways to reduce stress levels such as meditation, yoga, dance, sports, and more.
Quality sleep.
Your immune system depends on the quality of your sleep. Your body needs rest and recovery after an active day. All the processes that restore your body’s resources take place during sleep. If your sleep is poor, your body does not rest and remains under stress.
Physical activity.
Any kind of physical activity strengthens the immune system. You can go jogging, swimming, pilates, going to the gym. Choose the sport that’s right for you and doesn’t make you averse to the sport. You should exercise regularly and be active throughout the day. Also, sports improve your mood, which leads to an improvement in your physical condition.
Rejection of bad habits.
Alcohol, smoking, drugs are the main enemies of your health. By consuming these substances, you poison your body, and it spends all its energy to get rid of the poison. During this time, your immune system will not be able to cope with the virus, and the likelihood of getting sick increases significantly.
