Now, more than ever, protecting and supporting our immune system is crucial to help our body defend itself against harmful organisms.
Simple choices can strengthen your immune system and protect your health. Health behaviors such as avoiding tobacco, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, getting enough rest, maintaining a healthy weight, and if you do drink alcohol...drink in moderation. Do these suggestions sound familiar? These are lifestyle choices that have a powerful and positive impact on your health.
Additional steps to boost your immune health and prevent illness include:
Receiving moderate sunshine.
Drinking herbal teas.
Meditation, prayer, and deep breathing techniques.
