Immunity is the body’s ability to prevent infection and fight disease. Boosting immunity is one way to improve health. Weakening of the immune system can be caused not only by a lack of certain vitamins or minerals, but also by a poor organization of your lifestyle and routine.
We consulted an expert in this regard. According to Salimova Nargiza Ergashmurodovna, a general practitioner at Family Clinic No. 51 in Tashkent's Yunusabad district, it is possible to increase the body's defenses even without medication. So what do you need to do for the immune system to function normally?
Go to bed at the same time every day
No matter what time it is, you need to learn to sleep at the same time every day, which will allow you to fall asleep faster and have a full rest.
If you go to bed sooner or later, the body will not be able to adapt to changes in rhythms, resulting in sleep being shallow. It is necessary to devote at least 8 hours of sleep a day, because the body needs the same amount of time to recover.
Start the day with a cup of tea
Studies by Japanese scientists have shown that the substances present in blue or black tea are able to effectively fight the flu virus. 2-3 cups of tea a day is enough.
Take action as soon as the first signs of a cold appear
In this case, folk remedies can be used. Add honey and lemon juice to the crushed raisins and walnuts and mix. Consume this mixture 1 tablespoon three times a day as soon as you begin to feel the first signs of a cold.
In addition, adding honey to namatak decoction and drinking it is also very effective when you have a cold.
Drink enough water
Because most of the body is made up of water, it needs a certain amount of water every day. Scientists have defined this norm as 8 glasses. Dehydration impairs the body's basic functions, including its ability to fight infections.
Observe cleanliness
During the day, we touch dirty surfaces and objects a lot, rubbing our noses and eyes with the same hands. As a result, germs enter the body through the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes. To prevent this, you need to wash your hands often.
Also, include the following nutrients in your diet:
Protein-rich products: meat, fish, legumes. Meat and fish should be eaten every day, and peas or beans 1-2 times a week.
