Boosting your immune system in spring

While the immune system is an important part of our body, it is also important to realize that there is no such thing as “immunity pill” to immediately provide your cells with everything they need. In this article, our expert talks about ways to rectify this and help the body to stay resourceful.

Well-balanced diet

Vitamins C, E, A, B9, B12, B5, B6, D, along with iron, copper, zinc, sulfur, selenium, magnesium, manganese, chromium, mercury, lithium, cobalt, nickel – all these nutrients contribute to our immune system, directly or indirectly. Therefore, to strengthen the immunity it is very important to have a diverse diet to make sure that you get all the above-listed substances.

Better source of nutrients than high-quality food has not been invented yet. Therefore, it is a good time to diversify your meals with fruits, vegetables, and berries.

When it comes to vitamins, special attention should be paid to vegetable oils, nuts, carrots, broccoli, and other fruits and vegetables with high levels of vitamins A, E, and C. These are most important for the normal functioning of immune cells. Specifically, Vitamin A supports the ability of immune cells to devour harmful bacteria. Vitamin E is one of the strongest antioxidants and has been proven to be particularly effective in protecting cell membranes from damage. In the meantime, vitamin C plays a vital role in iron absorption and antibody synthesis, as well as in the rapid healing of injuries.

Keep in mind that you should also favor cooking methods that allow the food to retain as many of its beneficial elements as possible (e.g., steaming).

Walks and exercise

Early in the spring, the key is to follow the daily regimen: get a good night’s sleep, take more walks, visit a swimming pool or gym, and protect your nervous system from excessive strain. Stress and anxiety have an extremely negative impact on the immune system and can even further aggravate the existing imbalance.
