During the current COVID-19 pandemic, daily preventive measures such as frequent hand-washing and wearing a 2-ply mask are essential. In addition, you also need to boost your immune system to stay healthy. Here are seven things you can do to boost your immune system!
Sunbathing in the Morning
The first thing you can do to increase your body's immune system is to regularly sunbathe in the morning. Sunlight has been proven to help the body produce vitamin D which is essential for your health. However, the benefits of sunlight are not limited to vitamin D.
Sunlight also energizes T-cells that play a central role in immunity. Low levels of blue light in sunlight make T-cells move faster.
The T-cells themselves need to be mobile to do their job, which is to reach the site of infection and regulate response. It is recommended to sunbathe every morning around 10 am for 10-15 minutes.
Eat Healthy and Nutritious Foods
Please get yourself healthy and nutritious foods. The nutrients you get from food, especially plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, and spices, are significant to keep the immune system strong.
Most plant foods have antiviral and antimicrobial properties that help your body fight infection, such as garlic and onions. Besides vegetables, make sure to also consume a variety of foods with other nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, fiber, minerals, and so on.
Exercise Regularly
Being active by doing a regular workout is a powerful way to boost your immune system. Working out helps your body’s antibodies and white blood cells circulate more quickly, making it possible to detect and eradicate viruses more swiftly.
This particular way of increasing the body's immune system is also useful for reducing stress hormones, which will reduce the possibility of being sick. The effects of exercise are also known to be directly relevant to combating viruses. You need to exercise at least five days a week to reduce your risk of getting the flu. We recommend doing light exercise for 30-60 minutes.
Do Things That Make Yourself Happy
Several studies have shown that being happier can support a strong immune system. This will have a good impact on your overall health as well as create a more effective way of combating infection or disease. From now on, let’s start doing more things that make you happy. Get back to your hobbies, spend some quality me-time, or watch your favorite shows.
Socialize Safely
One of the problems during the pandemic is that the old ways of socializing don't work anymore. Having a meet-up session with a lot of people is not recommended since it increases the risk of the virus spreading. That is why you need to practice social distancing.
You can do this by making video calls or virtual events with friends and family. There are still many other things you can do virtually together with your loved ones, such as yoga, workout classes, counseling, cooking classes, birthday parties, and more.
Enough Rest
Your body heals and regenerates while you sleep, making adequate sleep crucial for a healthy immune response. More specifically, sleep is the time when your body produces and distributes key immune cells such as cytokines (a type of protein that can fight inflammation), T-cells (a type of white blood cell that regulates the immune response), and interleukin 12 (a pro-inflammatory cytokine).
If you don't get enough sleep, your immune system will lose some of its ability to defend your body against harmful invaders. This makes you more likely to get sick. Compared to healthy adults who have no sleep problems, healthy adults with insomnia are more susceptible to colds even after being vaccinated.
Remain Obedient to Health Protocols
The last way to increase your body's immunity is to remain obedient to health protocols. The risk of transmitting COVID-19 without implementing 3M can reach 100%. Regular hand washing reduces the risk of infection by 35%, wearing a surgical mask reduces the risk of infection by 70%, and maintaining a distance of 1 meter reduces the risk of infection by 85%.
In addition to implementing health protocols, you should not leave the house if you don't have to. When it comes to fulfilling your lifestyle and financial needs, you can take advantage of the PermataMobile X application.
