Avoid COVID-19: How to Naturally Boost Your Immune System Fast!

Given the current circumstances around the world right now, it only makes sense to start thinking about how you can boost your immune system. 

Not only will a strong immune system protect you against contracting the deadly COVID-19 virus, it will prevent you from spreading it onto others.  It’s up to you to take control of your health and do what you can to mitigate the risks.

Boosting your immune system is simple.  All it takes is being more intentional with your life choices.  And since your life may literally be at stake, these small adjustments to your lifestyle shouldn’t be too hard to make!

Revamp Your Diet

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” – Hippocrates

Food is your number one defense against any sort of disease. Period.

What you eat will impact your health greatly.  Right now, the best way to ensure your immune system will stay strong is to feed your body nutrient dense foods.

Here are some foods to start adding to your diet right now.

Elderberries – antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties, Vitamin C

Garlic – antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal properties

Ginger – antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory

Mushrooms – immune-boosting properties, Vitamin B, selenium

Citrus Fruits – Vitamin C (stimulates production of white blood cells to protect body against infections)

Yogurt – probiotics (active bacterial cultures)

Oysters – zinc, selenium, iron, Vitamin C

Green Tea – epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant, immune boosting properties

Supplementation

If you aren’t able to get all your nutrients in the form of food, supplementation is a good way to complement your diet.

Certain supplements that can help boost your immune system include:

  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin D
  • Zinc
  • Probiotics

Of course, whole foods should still be your number one choice when it comes to obtaining the best quality nutrition.  However, if your diet is not sufficient, supplementation is a great way to get vital immune-boosting nutrients.

Hydration

Hydration is key to peak health.  Not only does water keep you ‘hydrated’, it ensures proper function of your lymphatic system.  Your lymphatic system is responsible for producing white blood cells necessary for immune responses that help your body defend itself against disease.

Exercise

Exercise reduces stress and inflammation in your body.  It also boosts your immune system by increasing the circulation of antibodies and white blood cells throughout your body.

Sleep

Getting adequate sleep is crucial to building and maintaining a healthy immune system.  When you’re sleep-deprived, your body is pumping out a stress hormone called cortisol, which suppresses your immune system.  Rest is the best way to give your immune system a fighting chance!
