Monitor your plate
With regard to the role of food, research is categorized: malnutrition and weight gain weaken natural defenses. In addition to this basic principle, regular consumption of certain nutrients is recommended. Vitamins and essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6), minerals and probiotics are the best proponents of the immune system. No need to go too far, we adopt "5 fruits and vegetables daily" to fill with vitamins A, B, C and E.
Omegas 3 and 6 are obtained from colza, sunflower, soybean or flax oils. On the metallic side, they are placed on iron, selenium and zinc, present in good quantities in dairy products, eggs, oysters, pulses and whole grains. Finally, by maintaining the intestinal plants, probiotics help to maintain the immune system, so the milk enriched with fermentation of the labia is no longer prohibited.
Chasing stress
Hundreds of studies that monitor the effects of stress on immunity confirm that the psychological state directly affects the organism. If acute stress (short term) stimulates the immune system, chronic anxiety is harmful, because it causes immune suppression. Many trials have shown that reducing stress improves inflammation resistance. There was a decrease in mortality and addiction rates in cancer patients with psychiatric support. People who are particularly sensitive to stress or during a difficult period have an interest in becoming a professional. For tensions and peaks of anxiety from everyday life, one will be satisfied with the treatment of magnesium, breathing exercises and walking in the woods.
Adopt a good sports habit
If the lack of physical activity harms health, the surplus of sports is also equally. High-level athletes are more likely to get sick than moderate athletes. Simple rule: more than an hour a day, intensive exercises weaken the immune system. But be careful, this observation should not obscure all the benefits of sport that, by improving blood circulation, allows to relieve stress, to sleep better (see box) and, of course, to control its weight. In short, all these elements enhance shape and immunity. Will the loop be closed?
good night
Sleep debt is involved in the decline of the immune system, but not always easy to settle comfortably in the arms of Morpheus ... Evidence: According to the National Institute of sleep and wakefulness, 4 French on 10 complain of sleep disorders.
