If you want to avoid catching every cold or bug going around this season, hand washing and hand sanitizing can protect you, as can your immune system.
Your immune system helps you fight infections and disease.
IMMUNE-BOOSTING LIFESTYLE BEHAVIORS ARE:
- Stress Control
- Physical activity
- Plenty of sleep
- Balanced nutrition
NUTRIENTS FROM FOOD THAT BOOST IMMUNITY:
Antioxidants from colorful fruits and vegetables neutralize free radicals in our blood that suppress the immune system.
Omega 3 fatty acids such as those found in fish.
Vitamin D from fortified milk and limited exposure to the sun.
When you can’t avoid germs, the best offense is a good defense.
