COVID-19 has affected communities around the world. By now, you know to wash your hands with soap, refrain from touching your face, and avoid contact with sick individuals. These steps can help us avoid contact with the virus, but what else can we do? Studies show that our diet and lifestyle choices greatly impact our health, and a strong immune system can help us stay healthy.   Boost Your Immune System   Your immune system works hard to fight off viruses and harmful bacteria. During the pandemic, having a reliable immune system has become all the more important. Tips for staying healthy during this time include having a strong immune system.   How can I boost my immune system fast?   Your first line of defense is to choose a healthy lifestyle. Adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle will not only boost your immunity but keep you feeling great for longer. The staples to strengthen your immune system include:
  • Don 't smoke
  • Eat a diet in high fruits and vegetables
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Drink alcohol in moderation
  • Get adequate sleep
  • Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing your hands often
  Some key points to consider when thinking about bolstering your immune system include:  
  • Eat more plants
People who eat more plants have been shown to have more effective white bloody cells when compared to people who eat fewer plants. Eat as many plants as possible, and minimize your intake of alcohol, sugar, animal protein, animal fat, and processed foods. By eating those foods, you suppress your immune system and become exposed to harmful side effects. Focus on eating whole plant foods to boost your immune system and lower the risk of illness.  
  • Manage stress
If you constantly feel stressed, you could be harming your immune system. To manage it, get more active, meditate, laugh more, connect with others, practice yoga, keep a journal, seek counseling, and do more of what makes you happy. Another great way to lower stress is to eat more plants. A plant-based diet can lower stress and improve your mood.  
  • Exercise often
Frequent exercise is imperative when you want optimal health and a healthy immune system. Exercise can promote good circulation, which allows cells of the immune system to do their job effectively.   The insurance professionals at Kneller Agency are here to help.
