Your first line of defense is to choose a healthy lifestyle. On the whole, your immune system does a remarkable job of defending you against disease-causing microorganisms. But sometimes it fails: A germ invades successfully and makes you sick.
We can never predict when outbreak of any sort will occur. If our immune system compromised (not strong) BEFORE the outbreak, it makes us more vulnerable and susceptible and our body less able to fight!
Following general good-health guidelines is the single best step you can take toward naturally keeping your immune system working properly.
Every part of your body, including your immune system, functions better when protected from environmental assaults and bolstered by healthy-living strategies such as these:
- Don’t smoke
- Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables
- Exercise regularly (and effectively)
- Maintain a healthy weight
- If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.
- Get adequate sleep
- Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing your hands frequently and cooking meats thoroughly.
- Try to minimize stress.
- Keep current with all recommended vaccines. Vaccines prime your immune system to fight off infections before they take hold in your body.
