3 simple lifestyle tips to boost your immune system

A strong immune system is key to staying in the best shape. It’s also the body’s first line of defense against any kind of disease. Many factors can contribute to lowering a person’s resistance to illnesses, such as stress, vices, an unbalanced diet, and more.

While these daily activities which are often overlooked, contribute to a weakened immune system, a few simple lifestyle changes can make a difference in the long run.

Here are three simple ways to boost the immune system:

1. Get Enough Sleep

That’s right, something as simple as sleeping can be a step towards a stronger immune system. A complete sleep cycle is 7 or more hours each night for adults, 8-10 hours for teens, and 14 hours for younger children and infants.

Inadequate sleep is often linked to the body’s vulnerability to contracting illnesses so limiting screen time or keeping an active day, for example, can help those who have trouble sleeping.

2. Be more active

Engaging in moderate exercise can give the immune system a boost. Even just taking at least 10 minutes off each day for a simple workout such as yoga, cardio, and strength training will increase the body’s resistance to prevent illnesses.

3. Be mindful of the right food choices

Eating the right kind of food like healthy fats and whole plant food such as fruits and vegetables, which are rich in nutrients and antioxidants can keep the body’s immune system strong and in check.

Vitamin C is the most common immunity booster and relatively lessens common cold severity and duration. It helps the body increase the production of white blood cells which are important in strengthening the body’s natural defenses.

Common fruits and vegetables which are rich in Vitamin C include oranges, lemons, papayas, tomatoes, strawberries, bell peppers, and spinach. Maintaining a balanced diet that includes herbs such as parsley, thyme, and chili peppers can also help. A steady supply of these could provide natural immunity boosters in every meal.

Keep these immunity boosters fresh up to two times longer with the Twin Cooling Technology of the Samsung Digital Appliances Twin Cooling Plus Top Mount Refrigerator. The refrigerator’s Anti-Bacterial Protector also keeps the unit and its contents 99.9% free from bacteria.

Also, with the Smart Conversion feature, the freezer can easily be turned into a fridge as well. This comes handy especially when there is more food to store or leftovers that can still be good for the next few days.

Today’s challenges are very modern but taking steps to boost the immune system can help now and in the long run as well. A few lifestyle and dietary adjustments can be made to achieve a stronger body and immune system.
