Tips to boost your immune system

Now, more than ever, at no other time in human history, is there more talk and concern about our IMMUNE SYSTEM, that is, OUR BODY'S DEFENSE SYSTEM against viruses and external agents. Here are some tips to boost your defenses.

It's not complicated at all, maintaining and boosting our immune system is in everyone's hands, we can all act NOW to prevent diseases, even more so now with the change of season.

Here we share several infallible strategies:

Nutrition is key to boosting your defenses

Yes... once again, I repeat myself, as in previous articles:

• Ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, WEAKEN YOUR DEFENSES.
• Eat REAL or minimally processed foods, and your body will take care of "collecting" the necessary nutrients to improve our NATURAL SHIELD
  • Vitamin C: citrus fruits, leafy green vegetables, red berries
  • Carotenes: spinach, peppers, carrots, pumpkin…
  • Flavonoids: chocolate, Brussels sprouts, garlic…
  • Selenium: pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, brown rice or oats.
  • Probiotics: sauerkraut, kefir…
  • Omega – 3: seeds, nuts, oily fish, algae…
• GOOD HYDRATION. – drinking enough water (1.5 – 2 L) will help your immune system expel toxins
• SLEEP QUALITY. – during sleep, important physiological processes occur, such as energy recovery or hormonal regulation, which is why it is important, not only the hours we sleep, but to sleep well and continuously. Waking up continuously interrupts all these processes and your immune system is affected
• EXERCISE! – and it is that, as we have discussed on previous occasions, EXERCISE POSITIVELY INFLUENCES ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Your body, your mind, your nervous system, your organs, your hormones… and of course, THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
• TAKE CARE OF YOUR EMOTIONS. – yes yes… something as deep and spiritual as emotions, ARE PART OF OUR HEALTH. A positive attitude towards life and adversity is something that many people have innately, but others MUST "TRAIN" and work on their minds to avoid falling down. It is scientifically proven that emotions such as fear, stress, sadness… AFFECT OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM, and we become more prone to developing diseases. So now you know: be strong with your mind, work daily so that positive energy prevails.

Highly effective supplements

As the icing on the cake to all the above, and even more so in these times we are living in, it is essential to help our defenses with quality supplements that have been proven to work, therefore among the tips to boost defenses, the following cannot be missing:
