5 Tips For Boosting Your Immune System

At the moment, we’re all worried about COVID-19, a respiratory infection caused by the coronavirus. But your immune system is important at all times. These tips for staying healthy are just as relevant when fighting off colds and flu.

1. Eat a Healthy Diet

Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet is one of the most important things you can do to look after your body. 

2. Keep Stress Under Control

Stress and anxiety can have a physical effect on our bodies, including a negative impact on our natural defences. 

3. Get Plenty of Good Quality Sleep

While you sleep, your immune system produces proteins called cytokines, which target infection and inflammation.

4. Exercise Regularly (Outdoors, When Possible)

Regular exercise can strengthen your immune system, as well as helping you sleep better and reducing your stress levels – two things that have an impact on immunity.

5. Have a healthy, happy gut

The health of your digestive tract has a huge impact on the health of your whole body, and your immune system is no different. A healthy gut microbiome encourages healthy defences.
