Our immune system is responsible for keeping us healthy. These days, our immune system can be affected by the stress and anxiety we may be dealing with.
Is it possible to know when our immune system is down? Of course, when this happens our body presents symptoms such as chills, malaise, fever, discouragement or excessive fatigue. Sometimes some infections become frequent, diarrhea lasts longer than normal, or we have constant vomiting and nausea.
According to the World Health Organization, the flu virus, which has become so common to us, is always mutating to find a way to escape our immune defenses. WHO data confirms that “seasonal flu kills about 650.000 people each year,” which means that We cannot underestimate the symptoms of the flu because even if it is not associated with a pandemic, it always requires special care.
However, we are aware that we can keep our defenses high and thus our body has a better reaction capacity. We will tell you how you can achieve this:
1. Food: A healthy diet is essential to being in optimal physical condition. The ideal is to eat the best you can and with organic products, avoiding refined sugars and processed foods. This way, our body has enough energy to face any battle against germs.
2. Hydration: Liquid consumption is very important because being dehydrated leads to earlier and more accelerated organic damage.
3. Medications: The easiest and most common thing to do when your immune system is weakened is to resort to taking medication or vitamin supplements, but we recommend doing it naturally by eating foods that help your immune system, such as fruits and vegetables.
4. Sport: Physical activity is important for your body and serves to raise body temperature, thus preventing the onset of colds.
5. Relaxation: Try to do some activity that you like and that makes you feel good about yourself and the world around you. Cook, meditate, sing, dance, because this free time helps you feel calmer and also helps you have fun.
A responsible lifestyle, accompanied by a constant exercise routine and recreational spaces to share with your loved ones are key to keeping your body's defenses high.
