The end of winter is often a challenging time for our health. Although, it may seem like the cold and gray days are gone, viruses, coughs and weak immunity are still present as long as overcoming the seasons is not always an easy transition.
But how to strengthen immunity with some simple methods? Here are some of them!
#1 Choose love
Given that physical and mental health are linked, you should prioritize what makes you feel better. Laughter, swimming, dancing, a physical touch, everything that makes you "feed" yourself in the right way.
#2 Chew your food
Chewing food properly is something important because this is the only way you provide the nutrients necessary for health and the immune system. This process simultaneously ensures the proper functioning of the digestive system, activating the release of certain cells that are needed for the immune system and your body.
#3 Leave the house early
Early morning means getting up and going out as early as possible. Exposure to the sun, especially before 9 am, increases serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in the proper functioning of the body and immune system.
#4 Add zinc
In addition to increasing the production of white blood cells, zinc plays an active role in strengthening the immune system by activating enzymes that break down proteins found in viruses and bacteria. This makes you less vulnerable to viruses and bacteria.
#5 Move as much as possible
Increased physical activity can improve the activity of immune cells, which play a role in reducing and eliminating pathogens. This then improves our immune system's response to any disease or virus circulating.
#6 Stock up on vitamin D
Like serotonin, vitamin D works to support immune responses in the body. Studies show that this vitamin increases the production of certain proteins, which can fight infections.
