Top US infectious disease specialist named three best ways to boost immunity

Take vitamins C and D

Anthony Fauci advises adding vitamins C and D to the diet: “There is strong evidence that low vitamin D levels in the body increase the risk of contracting coronavirus.” Vitamin D not only successfully fights inflammation in the body, but also helps it to strengthen bones by more easily absorbing calcium, the doctor said.

Vitamin C, in turn, helps the body absorb iron. Fauci recommends taking 1,000 mg of vitamin C per day, but for most people this is a fairly high dose. Especially for those who eat fruits and vegetables every day. Experts from Harvard Medical School believe that taking 100 mg of the vitamin is sufficient. The maximum dosage is 2 thousand mg per day.

You can get the right amount of vitamins by eating a cup of strawberries, a few handfuls of raw green bell peppers, or 2 cups of stewed cabbage, Fauci said.

Get enough sleep

The duration of sleep varies from person to person, but for most people it is 7-8 hours, the doctor said.

Avoid stress

Among the best (and easiest) ways to deal with stress are regular exercise, meditation, breathing practices, a hot bath, massage, listening to music, time with a loved one or dog, Fauci explained.

“It’s healthier than taking all kinds of supplements,” he added.
