We are living in an overcrowded country with Flu season round the corner. To stay healthy among all the air born infections, we have to depend on our body immunity. Listed here are five simple ways to boost your body immunity even more:
1) Enjoy sex: Sometimes women have a hesitation and they feel inhibited to enjoy sex, considering it to be a dirty thing specially meant for men’s enjoyment. Quite a number of couple attending infertility clinics admit to having sex primarily to have babies. This lopsided attitude towards sex produces deep seated resentment and anxiety leading to lower immunity. It is important to look within for the reasons of your inhibition and discuss it openly with your partner or doctor.
2) Be more social: Enjoy other people’s company and laugh out loud with them. A hearty laugh leads to secretion of happy hormones from the brain and boosts immunity. Living a cocooned, high pressure life surrounded by all the electronic gadgets definitely builds up mental stress. It is important to let go at times. One can enroll for some community programs or volunteer at the local orphanage for a change.
3) Exercise: Regular exercise in whatever form is good for the body and mind. It releases endorphins from our brain leading to a feel good factor and boosts up our body defenses to fight against diseases.
4) Mindful eating : Include a lot of fresh fruits and veggies in your diet to get all the micro-nutrients that are essential for the body defense mechanism. Cut down on white flour and sugary stuff that can produce stress on the liver.
5) Cut down on Stress: While some stress is necessary to function in our day to day living; too much of it is known to decrease our ability to fight off infections and diseases. No doubt we need to compete and succeed, but one must take time off work periodically and do things that one loves and enjoy. Correct breathing techniques and meditation also works by relaxing the mind and body.
