The immune system is our body’s internal system of fighting bacteria and viruses. When your body comes in contact with a foreign or unfamiliar germ or organisms, it triggers a response that helps to identify, fight and eliminate to protect us from harm. Not having enough sleep or a poor nutritional diet can affect the efficiency of your immune system. Staying indoors in cool temperatures and avoiding the heat isn’t just comfortable for you but also those germs as well. Research shows that people who only manage to achieve 6 or less hours of sleep per night are more susceptible to catch a cold. So.. What’s the secret to a healthy immune system? Not hoarding up toilet papers or sanitizers for sure! Just like a computer system, we have internal and external measures that need to be observed in order to strengthen our immune system. Here are some measures that can be taken:
Research also shows that regular exercise of 2 hours daily can increase the white blood cells (an important member of the body’s defense mechanism) production, thus keeping us safe from those harmful viruses. In the recent events of the COVID-19 pandemic, the older population was found to be more at risk compared to the younger adults. Well, if you do exercises regularly (or intend to do after reading this article), studies indicated those 65 years old who did regular exercises had their immunity as high as those in their 30’s! So keep your spirits high and your fitness even higher.
Last but not least, we’re going to emphasize again something you probably hear lots of times – washing hands. Very important as personal hygiene should never be overlooked. Most of us practice a more casual way of washing hands. Reaching those tiny spots that we often miss will most certainly make a difference.
