Boost the immune system to stay healthy
Another factor to consider when the seasons change, especially in autumn, is strengthening our immune system.
Its more likely we can catch an infectious virus that affects the respiratory system when it is cold.
Why is the immune system important?
Because it is responsible for protecting our body against infections and environmental hazards that can harm our health.
Luckily there are various ways we can boost the immune system, including our diets and food supplements. What we eat always plays a major role.
Foods that help strengthen the immune system
These foods help boost and protect our immune system so try to include them in your diet regularly.
- Broccoli, with a high content of antioxidants and anticancer properties.
- Oranges and other citrus fruits thanks to their Vitamin C content.
- Cranberries and pretty much all other red fruits because of their high antioxidant content.
- Pulses, which contain lots of proteins, minerals and fibre.
Food supplements: Revidox DNA
This food supplement helps reduce fatigue and tiredness, has antioxidant properties and helps protect your immune system thanks to its unique combination of vitamin C, selenium and zinc.
Just one capsule a day will help you protect your immune system.
Practical tips to boost your immune system
As well as specific foodstuffs and food supplements, it is important to:
- Get enough quality sleep.
- Maintain good personal hygiene and wash your hands frequently, especially before touching food we are going to eat.
- Exercise regularly.
- Mindfulness as a way of life: leave stress and worries behind because, although they are psychological, they heavily affect our immune response.
