The Best 8 Ways To Boost Your Immune System

By Trish - Life Retreat

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 asRawbiotics 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.

Stressed people are probably not getting enough sleep, and they neglect other healthy habits that boost immunity.
