8 Natural Ways To Boost Your Immune System Against The Novel Corona Virus COVID-19
How can you improve your immune system?
Is it possible to intervene in this process and boost your immune system?
What if you improve your diet? Take certain vitamins or herbal preparations?
Make other lifestyle changes in the hope of producing a near-perfect immune response?
Okay, Let’s get started.
1. Sleep like a regular human being.
It’s tempting to binge-watch your favorite show until 3 a.m. But research shows that staying up all night can wreak havoc on your immune system, making you more likely to catch a virus and making it even harder to fight it off.
Do your body a favor: Ditch the late-night screen time and get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep a night.
2. Eat more garlic.
You may not be doing your breath any favors, but eating garlic regularly can do wonders for your health. Not only does it boost your immune system, but it can also help prevent heart disease, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.
The best part? It’s delicious. Blend together pesto with raw garlic and throw it over pasta or bread. Or if you’re feeling bold, whip up a spicy, homemade immunity shot with raw garlic, ginger, carrots, and lemon for a quick system boost.
3. Drink lemon, honey, ginger, and turmeric with warm water.
Many people swear by this tonic as a tried and true remedy for colds. But does this magical elixir actually work or is it just an old wive’s tale? The research on each individual ingredient looks promising.
A 2012 review published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that honey, an antioxidant, acts as a natural immunity booster. Ginger, another powerful antioxidant with antiviral properties, can be used to treat digestive woes like nausea and motion sickness. Lemon juice is high in vitamin C, which according to Mayo Clinic can be used for its antioxidant properties and to prevent the common cold. Lastly, studies show that curcumin, a component in the spice called turmeric, can regulate the immune system.
4. Make a batch of chicken soup.
Think that bowl of chicken soup is just a comfort food? Think again. Ingredients in the soup (when made with chicken, onions, sweet potatoes, parsnips, turnips, carrots, celery, parsley, salt, and pepper) have been found to slow the migration of white blood cells into the upper respiratory tract, which helps relieve cold symptoms.
5. Indulge in tea time.
Sipping tea in the morning or right before bed is so relaxing, it might as well be its own form of meditation.
Perhaps the best thing about tea is its variety in taste and in nutritional benefits.
6. Have yogurt for breakfast.
Probiotics found in yogurt can strengthen the body’s immune system and help you fight off infection.
Yogurt is also rich in vitamin D, which gives your immune system a healthy boost.
And not only is yogurt a nutritious morning meal, but researchers have also found that consuming vanilla yogurt may make you happier (really!). Talk about a win-win.
7. Soak up some sun.
You may resist the idea of going outside in the winter when your front door is frozen shut, but venturing out when there’s a bit of sun shining is great for your immunity.
Just make sure not to overdo it. Too many rays can result in sunburns or skin cancer. You only need a few minutes — between 15 to 20 — to get the D dosage you need.
8. Laugh a little (or a lot).
Laughing — and an overall happy, positive attitude — lowers stress levels and can promote sleep, arguably two of the most crucial elements to a healthy body. And, admit it, it’s probably the most fun you’ll have giving your immune system a boost.
