How we strengthen the body to be able to face any virus. Against the background of weakened immunity, the frequency of acute respiratory infections, such as the common cold, is increasing. As summer turns into fall, our bodies have to deal with respiratory infections and it’s important to know how to help them.
There is no magic pill that will boost your immune system overnight, but you can keep your body functioning optimally without the help of drugs.
We are talking about immunity, a protective shield that protects us from diseases, viruses and bacteria. Unfortunately, our goal is not to continually improve this system, and alarm bells will go off when something doesn’t work.
The immune system connects our health with our environment, emotions and senses. Our immunity is individual and, like fingerprints, different from person to person.
Doctor Jenna Macciochi tells us that immunity is like this, because diversity itself helps sustain the human race. If our immune systems were identical, one deadly disease would be enough to kill us all.
Some people never catch a cold, but react to the interaction with various microbes. The doctor says that a strengthening of immunity can be achieved by adopting some clear lifestyle changes.
The first medical recommendation is increased attention to food choices. The ideal is to choose organic food, as little as possible sprinkled with chemicals. Let’s feed ourselves as naturally as possible, as close as possible to the natural form of products, the ideal being raw-vegan cuisine.
Dr. Jenna Macciochi also talks about the importance of fermented foods for gut health. He warmly recommends kefir, yogurts, cabbage juice, kombucha and garlic.
Also, get your daily dose of sunshine. The sun increases immunity and threatens viruses. Seek the sun from your balcony or your yard during this changing season.
The sun helps the body naturally produce vitamin D, which is essential for good health. This vitamin plays an important role in the immune system and optimal levels in the body protect us from some very serious diseases such as multiple sclerosis, asthma, depression, cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
And the WHO recommends exposure to the sun several times a week, at least 15 minutes.
Another way to strengthen our immunity, according to the recommendations of this British immunologist, is to shower with cold water.
Why a blast of cold water might prevent people from getting sick isn’t clear, but research so far suggests there’s a link to what we call an “boost” in immunity, according to Robbreport.
Many studies have shown that cold water immersion or cold showers, taken consistently, could help fight inflammation, manage pain and strengthen the immune system. Cold water can also make small repairs inside cells and could even improve mental well-being. Here are the many health benefits of taking cold showers for weeks or even months.
A large study in the Netherlands found that people who took a cold shower for a month were less likely than those who took a warm shower to get sick. A group of over 3,000 people were divided into four subgroups and asked to take a warm shower daily.
But one subgroup was asked to finish it with 30 seconds of cold water, another with 60 seconds of cold water, and another with 90 seconds of cold water. Participants were asked to follow this protocol for one month. In the end it was found that the groups that used the cold water had 29% fewer cases of self-reported illness.
If you can last three minutes in a cold shower, you can deal with any stressors that come up later in the day. Basically, we build a better, more adaptable mindset by forcing ourselves to face a stressful situation, according to a study conducted by Spanish experts in 2019. A chemical reaction also occurs to increase resistance to stress.
Among other recommendations of the doctor are: sleep of at least 7 hours, starting before midnight and regular consumption of soups (especially chicken), which the doctor says is the ideal food, both for health and for a good mental state, doctorulzilei.ro quotes.
