A healthy immune system depends largely on us, which is why we'll share five basic tips for keeping a
immune system in good shape.
The
immune system is a complex network of cells found in the body to protect it from infectious agents that cause the diseases that affect our health.
When our immunity is optimal, the body gives us vitality and energy. However, when something is off, we have to rest to recover.
Tip number 1:
Sleep well
Resting properly lets the immune system regenerate while you sleep, but high levels of stress, anxiety and poor sleep habits keep the body from recovering.
So it helps to keep good sleep hygiene: set times for getting up and going to bed, sleep between 7 and 8 hours, and keep electronic devices away, especially your phone.
It also helps to unplug the appliances that make white noise, such as refrigerators and internet boxes, because these objects emit electromagnetic waves as they work, which interferes with sleep quality.
Remember that the bed is only for sleeping or having sex, so avoid eating, working or reading in it, because one bad night's sleep weakens the immune system and leaves it exposed to viruses.
Tip number 2:
Food
If you eat in a balanced way you'll see how much healthier you feel; eating junk food reduces nutrients and makes the liver work even harder, weakening us and making us feel more tired.
Good
nutrition should focus on foods (without overdoing it) that contain vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper and selenium, acting as stimulators of the
immune system and supporting the body's defenses.
“Eating prepared or junk food should be moderate, and if you do eat it, ideally at midday. If you eat it at night we could get indigestion and interfere with the sleep cycle,” says
Dr. Santiago Rojas Posada, a specialist in alternative medicine.
Tip number 3:
Managing stress
At the immune system level,
everyday stress is the worst enemy of our defenses, because it's a silent condition.
Its main consequences are:
- Depressed immune activity
- Infectious processes such as colds speed up.
- Skin problems such as rashes and dermatitis flare up again.
- The lymph nodes are affected by poor circulation and blood clotting.
It's worth noting that both stress and anxiety can be managed with alternative therapies such as stress flower essences.
Tip number 4
Connecting with the sun and the earth
It matters that we, as human beings, make that connection between ourselves and the sun, since it provides vitamin C to the body and strengthens the
immune system.
It's best not to spend too long in the sun; ideally, get sunlight in the morning, for 10 to 20 minutes a day. To receive the energy of nature, we should stand barefoot on the grass for at least half an hour, and so get all the benefits the earth offers us.
Tip number 5
Take flower essences for the immune system
This is an extra tip: the vibrational energy of
flower essences helps us stay harmoniously balanced with our emotions. When our mood is low, we see how our
immune system drops and stops working with the same intensity.
A very clear example is patients with cancer or a chronic illness, where their hopes for life make negative emotions prevail over positive ones and the illness becomes harder to fight.
Now that you know all these tips, protect your
immune system so it can face the viruses and bacteria present in our daily life, and don't forget to wash your hands often.
