No doubt, winter is fun but the health issues and seasonal diseases that it welcomes make it extremely hard for everyone. What are you up to then? Are you seeking advice from doctors to avoid having any illness during this winter? The ultimate solution to this problem is to make yourself stronger to fight against the diseases. Your immune system fights against the diseases, so your first aim should be to make your immune system stronger. Here are some useful tips to strengthen your immune system!

Exercise Regularly

Exercise makes your body stronger hence it makes you less likely to befall by illness. Exercise strengthens your body by making your immune system stronger which fights against the diseases. So, you might never know how your regular exercising routine is keeping you away from various diseases. You can choose any kind of exercise that suits you, but the key is to do exercise regularly and adopt it as a regular thing to do forever. It is always advisable to wear comfortable workout gear for exercise as it enhances productivity while offering great comfort and ease. Also, wear workout clothes that are suitable for your preferred exercises. For example, for running, you should prefer wearing joggers pants. However, wearing loose and saggy trousers while cycling can cause an injury if they stuck in the chain or wheels of the cycle. So, always be cautious and be fully prepared for what so ever exercise you choose to do to boost your immune system. 

Get Adequate Sleep

Your body goes to recovery mode when you sleep. So, always get adequate sleep for around 8 hours every night. This is the time when your body repairs and nourishes. Especially if you’re working out regularly then sleep does wonders to you. Your broken fibers in the muscles are repaired during sleep which also helps to reduce muscle soreness. If you do not sleep well, the next day your muscles will still be sored and then doing another session of workout will bring negative results for your health.

Stay More Active

In winter, we all become lazier because of the low temperature. Other than just spending one hour in the gym, you should also focus on having a more active lifestyle throughout the day. For example, skip the elevator and use the stairs when you go to the office. Also, rather than calling coffee or tea at your desk, you can go to the kitchen and get it by yourself. I would also recommend drinking lots of water during winter and for that, you should get up and reach the kitchen every time. These simple tips can keep you active throughout the day and that will actually contribute towards making your immune system stronger in winter.

Decrease Inflammation

There are two types of major inflammations that we commonly have in our bodies i.e. acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is good for us and it develops our muscles and makes our bodies stronger. However, chronic inflammation is seriously damaging to our overall health and deteriorates the strength of the immune system. In order to avoid chronic inflammation, you must avoid eating those foods that have an inflammatory effect on the body. The acid making foods are the basic reason behind causing inflammation in the body. Therefore, you should rather prefer eating whole fruits, whole wheat, unprocessed foods and you must avoid eating refined sugar, processed foods including additives, and bad carbs and fats. 

Eat an Appropriate Amount of Food

If you want to make your immune stronger, you must consider your food and its quantity as they play a vital role in this regard. Many of you do not intake as many calories as you need and that’s the major reason for weak immunity. You must focus on your macros and therefore you should eat an appropriate number of calories while keeping a good balance in the macros. Commonly men need around 2000 calories a day whereas women need 1600 calories a day. Your daily diet should include 60% of carbohydrates, 25% of protein, and 15% of fat. Intake of these many calories with suggest portion of each of the macros is fundamental in making your immune system stronger. So, never compromise or ignore these two very important aspects no matter how busy you are.
