The Best 8 Ways To Boost Your Immune System 1. Good gut health is critical. Doctors believe that up to 80% of your immune system is in your gut. A diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods and antioxidants may have a protective effect. It reduces inflammation and encourages good gut bacteria that help establish a robust immune system. Focus on fibre-rich vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains and healthy fats. Fermented foods such as Rawbiotics Defence, kombucha, sauerkraut and yoghurt are beneficial. Be kind to your liver, as it is responsible for filtering the blood, breaking down fats, and removing excess cholesterol and toxins. Apples, Kale, broccoli, and cabbage can help increase your liver’s ability to detox the body naturally. 2. Exercise Regularly. Physical activity helps flush out bacteria and clear the airways. It slows down the release of stress hormones. It also decreases your chance of developing some diseases, such as heart disease and fatty liver, plus keeps your bones strong. 3. Take Extra Vitamins.

Did you know that researchers have found that poor sleep makes you four times more likely to catch a cold? It can be the number one factor determining if someone gets sick – more than age or stress level. Your body relies on a whole night’s rest to replenish cells and proteins.
4. Reduce Stress Levels 7. Employ Positive Thinking. This is often easier said than done. Stress affects your body’s immune response. It causes you to produce extra levels of cortisol and cytokines, which trigger inflammation. It can decrease the number of white blood cells available to fight infection, leaving you at risk for colds and flu. Stressed people are probably not getting enough sleep, and they neglect other healthy habits that boost immunity.
Fake it until you believe it. Your mental state does influence your physical health. Positive thinkers are less likely than “negative” people to have a heart attack. It has been found that smiling – even if you have to fake it – reduces stress and uplifts your mood. Negative emotions can weaken immune response so reassess your outlook. Be grateful.
