Being corona ready does not mean you are going to be a Covid patient sooner or later but making your body Strong enough to overcome the eventuality without sacrificing too much. At a time when the whole world is reeling under COVID-19 and making a lot of effort to get rid of the pandemic, we cannot afford to be its easy victim, rather make ourselves strong and ready to deal with the condition. These days, we hear a lot of news and discussions about the importance of a strong immune system that has become the need of the hour. Since corona virus badly damages our immune system and proves to be fatal in some cases; we have to adopt every possible way and modify our lifestyle in order to keep our immunity high.

The immune system is not a single entity but an interconnection of major components like bone marrow, lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, and thymus. So, there has to be a harmonious balance between these components to find a strong immune system. Covid vaccines and medicines developed by some pharma companies in India and abroad are playing a crucial role in boosting immunity. On the other hand, we can boost our immune system altogether by adopting some natural ways, as recommended by the health experts.

Healthy lifestyle – A key to strengthen immune system

When I say a healthy lifestyle, it doesn’t mean taking a lot of health supplements and doing strenuous exercise but a normal, balanced and natural way of living. There are several things recommended by the good-health guidelines that we can follow to bolster our immune system. I’m highlighting some tips that can help us in this regard.

Healthy diet is must:

A healthy diet is always needed to boost immunity in all age groups. Make sure that you regularly take plenty of green vegetables, seasonal fruits, dry fruits, legumes, whole grains, liquid supplements, lean protein and healthy fats. The regular intake of vitamin A, B6, C, D & E, minerals and folic acid keeps your immune system strong and ready to fight coronavirus.

Stay hydrated:

It is scientifically proved that our immune system functions at full force if the body is hydrated sufficiently. Even if you suspect to have been infected by corona virus or are living in quarantine, you should avoid dehydration by drinking enough fluid. Dehydration can hinder your physical performance and make it difficult to recover from the condition. At least 3 liters of fluid per day is recommended to an adult to prevent dehydration.

Reduce stress:

High levels of stress can simply alter your immune system, hampering your overall physical performance. It is important to understand how stress leads to a weakening immune system that can make it hard to recover from the condition. You can relieve stress through yoga, prayer, breathing exercise and meditation.

Get enough sleep:

Chronic sleep deprivation can disturb hormonal balance and weaken the immune system. The lack of quality sleep can raise other conditions and make your body a soft target of corona attack. Therefore, take at least 6-7 hours of sleep to maintain a good immune capacity.

Regular exercise is important: 

Leave a sedentary lifestyle and keep your body active through some aerobic and moderate exercise to find a strong immune system. Moderate exercise involves jogging, swimming, cycling, brisk walking and light hiking that can certainly increase blood circulation and strengthen the immune system.

Quit smoking:

Research studies have shown that smokers take more time to recover from COVID-19 disease and, in many cases, succumb to the condition. Inhaling toxins or chemicals from cigarette smoke can hamper the growth and function of immune cells. It is also found that smoking can worsen key body organs and cause other chronic conditions. So, if you want to achieve a strong immune system, it is recommended to stay away from smoking at all.

Wisely choose your health supplements:

There is a long list of health supplements manufactured by generic pharma companies and Ayurvedic manufacturers. You should not harp on them blindly but check for the key ingredients that can help in improving immune capacity. Also, take them in a limited amount to avoid any unwanted side effects.

Overall, a healthy lifestyle is not cumbersome but an easy way of living that not only helps you strengthen your immune system to combat COVID-19 disease but also promises to make your life happy at your comfort.
