What are the Lifestyle Changes That Help the Immune System?

 

  1. Well-Balanced Diet: Loading up on the right foods that yield enough nutrition is key to a healthy immune system. Your plate should look colourful. Fill it with greens, fruits and veggies. Make it a balance of the right macro and micronutrients your body needs. A diet always differs from person to person. It is hence advisable to consult a nutritionist and adopt a diet that is tailored for your body. 

 

  1. Adequate Sleep: Getting the right amount of sleep is very important for a healthy immune system. Being sleep deprived can have adverse effects on your health. Your body needs rest to reset, detoxify, and rejuvenate. For adults, adequate sleep time should be in between 7-9 hours every day.   

 

  1. Proper Exercise: Exercising daily is a pillar of a healthy lifestyle. Its presence helps your immunity stand strong. Exercise helps release the accumulated stress and stagnant energy in the body. It improves heart health, blood pressure, blood circulation, and controls body weight. Just like diet, exercise contributes to enhancing human health that in turn has a positive effect on the immune system. 

 

  1. Stress Less: Living a fast-paced life being subjected to stressful situations is a part and parcel. Excess stress hampers your sleep, food, lifestyle, etc that in turn affects your health. Stress hormones negatively impact the immune system. It is hence necessary to manage stress to maintain a healthy immune system. 

 

  1. Nurturing Daily Routine: Ayurveda suggests that following a routine helps strengthen the immune system. Every day try to eat, sleep, and exercise at the same time. Following a pattern is helpful for the body. Set one that suits you right and adhere to the norms.

 

  1. Yoga, Pranayam, and Dhyana: Yoga, pranayama and dhyana each have positive effects on your health. It is a combination of mind, body, and soul that helps cultivate the presence of the mind, encourages tranquillity, and eliminates toxins. All of these aid holistic health and help you lead a fuller life. This promotes a healthier immune system. In your everyday schedule make some time to practice all three in moderation for effective results.
