Hi.
We all get exposed to the same environment, but all of us doesn't get affected by it! why - because of different immune system. So, if a person has a strong immune system, we are protected from the attack of any virus or bacteria!
a healthy, nutritious and balanced diet along with exercise will give you that. A healthy and strong immune system prevents us getting any diseases even a simple cough and cold.
So, to build up a strong immunity, you need to alter few changes in your daily routine. If you don't have any underlying medical condition, you can follow the below points for healthy living.
The diet plays an important role in making our immune system stronger:
1. Get enough protein. You can get protein from meat, dairy, eggs and vegetables.
2. Avoid saturated fats, but eat plenty of unsaturated fats. These" good fats" are found in corn, sesame, safflower, soybean, and cottonseed oils.
3. Eat limited amounts of carbohydrates. Consuming appropriate amounts of wheat, corn, and cereals helps to create the energy required for the body to produce white blood cells.
4. There are a number of particular foods that can help to boost-up your immunity. These include: garlic, almonds, kale, navy beans, reishi mushrooms, blueberries and raspberries, yogurt, green, matcha, and tulsi teas.
4. Eat antioxidants. Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that help repair damaged cells in the body. Examples of antioxidants are beta carotene (apricots, broccoli, beets, spinach, green peppers, tomatoes, corn, and carrots), vitamins c (berries, broccoli, nectarines, oranges, strawberries, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cauliflower) and e (broccoli, carrots, nuts, papaya, spinach, and sunflower seeds), zinc (oysters, red meat, beans, nuts, and seafood), and selenium.
5. Vitamin a is also an antioxidant, and helps your immune system to function more efficiently. In addition to supplements, you can get vitamin a from carrots, tomatoes, chilis, and squash.
6. Echinacea, ginseng, aloe vera, and green tea are all said to boost your white blood cell count.
7. Exercise regularly. Getting enough exercise improves your cardiovascular health, and greatly reduces the likelihood of certain chronic diseases. Exercise increases the flow of blood through different parts of the body, and it increases the body's excretion of harmful metabolites, helping your immune system function properly. So run, bike, swim, walk -- whatever gets you moving!
8. Stop smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
9. You should drink 8 glasses of water every day.
10. Sufficient deep sleep also helps the cells replenish and regenerate and is therefore necessary if you want to maintain a healthy immune system.
