Globally, people are experiencing a higher risk of the COVID-19 Virus. The fear of this Virus is greater than a war or any Missile attack. People across the world are going through the lockdown to save their lives. This has introduced a “New Normal,” which people are still learning and implementing in their daily lives.
Whether at work, an educational institute, or at home, personal hygiene is the first thing to care about. But apart from hygiene care, we also need to think about boosting our immunity. By maintaining good health and immunity, we can fight against this pandemic.
Here is a list of 5 methods that can help you increase your immunity:
-
Keep yourself hydrated:
Drinking plenty of water keeps you hydrated and helps remove toxins from your body. Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day to stay hydrated. This can lower your chances of getting affected by the flu.
Also, consuming coconut water and Vitamin C juices can help you boost your immunity.
-
Focus on your diet:
A good diet is an important aspect of determining immunity and overall health. Cutting down on carbohydrates will help control high blood sugar and pressure.
A regular intake of vegetables and fruits rich in Beta carotene, Ascorbic acid, and other essential vitamins can help you stay in good shape.
Mushrooms, tomatoes, bell peppers, and green vegetables like broccoli and spinach must be added to your diet as they help the body fight infections. Several herbs, such as Garlic, basil leaves, and Black Cumin, help boost immunity.
-
Get a full sleep:
The simplest way to boost your immunity is to get 7- 8 hours of sleep. Lack of sleep can make you feel tired and slow down your brain activity. Less sleep can impair other bodily functions and will directly impact your immunity.
-
Regular Exercise:
Never skip your exercise routine as it improves metabolism which is directly related to body immunity. Health experts recommend that a daily exercise of 35-40mins can help in releasing the toxins from your body. It is not necessary to target the heavy workout; light exercise can also help you in flushing out the toxins.
-
Stay away from Stress:
The mental well-being has been affected after spending a prolonged period at indoors. This has led to anxiety among the millions all over the globe. Stress always has an adverse impact on immunity. Therefore, it is necessary to follow some daily practices which can help you in reducing the stress level.
Taking too much stress can make your body susceptible to infections as stress releases cortisol hormone which affects your response to the outer surroundings. It is recommended to calm your nerves by going through a meditation. Several health channels on the internet can help you in doing this.
Let us adapt to the new normal and healthier lifestyle by following the above healthful practices. (TectUs Blog)
