In this post we will list the easiest ways to avoid falling ill and how to boost your immune system naturally.

So what is the fastest way to boost your immune system?

The answer is rather simple and completely logical – you must take several precautionary steps to boost your immune system and ward off germs. Perhaps the best ways of boosting your immune system are:

  • Ensure that you receive at least 8 hours of sleep each night.
    Sleep is critical to your body because it permits our body’s at the cellular level to repair and conserve energy which will be used to focus on our everyday activities. Ever notice how you normally wake up sick and hardly ever feel sick randomly in the middle of the day? Tat is because while your body is repairing itself it naturally finds and fights off any germs. One initial line of defense is a fever which usually takes an infection out of its homeostatic range and effectively kills off the “bad” cells.
  • Consume at least 8 glasses of water every single day.
    Being properly hydrated is one of the keys to maintaining your health. With the correct amounts of fluids within your body, your organ systems can function effectively. Proper amounts of water in your body aids in flushing out your system from all residual toxins!
    A Quick Factoid: The human body is made up of over 60% water, and your brain is composed of
    75% water. Drink water and feed your brain!
  • Exercising will increase your metabolism as well as your immune system.
    A healthy body fights off disease and sickness much better than a weak and adipose one. Exercising will only be able to increase your body’s defenses against germs and sicknesses.
  • Consume plenty of fruits and veggies.
    These food groups are high in essential vitamins like Vitamin C which help your body fight off that nasty flu or common cold.
  • Increase antioxidant and vitamin intake.
    Vitamins are crucial to ensure your body is receiving all of the nutrients and minerals that it needs to function at top performance.
  • Eat a healthy and well balanced diet.
    Again this falls back on properly feeding your body what it needs to perform at top shape. Antioxidants are essential to support your immune system in its daily fight against germs. These antioxidants are found in fruits and vegetables, and have been found to work against immune suppressing products known as free radicals. In addition to antioxidants, healthy fats like Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to aid in increasing your body’s production of compounds which regulate your immune system.
    Quick Tip: Add garlic and ginger to your meals on a regular basis as they have been proven to fight viruses and bacteria, and being a natural anti-inflammatory – respectively.
  • Keep your hands clean.
    Washing for at least 15 to 30 seconds will eliminate nearly all germs and prevent the spread of germs to other locations.

In addition to these rather common sense tips you are able to boost your immune system naturally. One of the most common things that truly weakens the body is permitting yourself to fall sick from stress. Long term stress, or chronic stress has been scientifically proven to wear down on your immune system. The best stress busting practices are incorporating a relaxing practice like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or even a gentle martial art like tai chi!

By following the aforementioned steps, you will ensure that your immune system receives a boost in its efficiency and will most likely be able to escape the typical sicknesses that surround you on a daily basis. Who really wants to become sick? I know that you don’t so take the proper steps today to boost your immune system.
