A strong immune system while crucial to preventing and fighting illness, is also a key component to living a balanced, happy life.
Here are 5 simple ways to boost your immune system
1. Exercise
Exercising daily for about 30 minutes enhances and improves different components of the immune system.
2. Get enough sleep
During sleep, your immune system releases proteins called cytokines, some of which help promote sleep. Aim for 7-9 good hours each night.
3. Eat whole foods
80% of your immune system is located in your digestive system. Your immune system relies on nutrient-dense whole food to function well. It’s best to keep your stomach healthy and happy.
4. Reduce stress
Stress can be an inhibition of immunity. Try to keep stress minimal and allow your brain some down time.
5. Let the light in
Enjoy moderate exposure to sunlight a few times in each week. Vitamin D is imperative for strengthening and boosting your immune system.
