Boosting the immune system should be everyone’s top priority. Try these simple ways to give your immune system a kick!

WASH YOUR HANDS

Washing your hands is the most basic and highly effective suggestion on this list. You can kill most bacteria, viruses, and fungi by scrubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds with warm water and soap. Sing your ABCs or your favorite theme song and POOF! You just saved yourself and others from harmful microbes.

GET SOME SLEEP

There are countless studies on the web that prove how essential sleep is for the body. Healing and the rebuilding of your body’s natural defenses happens during sleep. We’ve got plenty of time to catch up on sleep, so take a few naps and make sure to get that 6-8 hours every night.

STAY ACTIVE AND EAT RIGHT

Walking for 30 minutes a day and choosing to have an apple instead of icecream can produce some major health effects. Working out improves cardiovascular health and blood flow which is super important for a healthy immune system. Having a diet that is high in fruits and veggies and low in bad fats, protein, carbs, and sugars can help lower inflammation. Remember: You are what you eat.

LOWER YOUR STRESS

I know this can be difficult to achieve but it is incredibly important. Stress causes inflammation and can be the underlying cause of many diseases today. Meditation and exercise can help to reduce stress. Take time to rest your mind.
