The only way to escape from deadly diseases is to boost your immunity naturally. We can’t destroy any such viruses but we can make ourselves capable of fighting them owing to a tough immune system.
In this blog, I’ll try to suggest you 9 best ways that you must follow to enhance your immunity to the next level.
Implications of having a weak immunity
- Get sick often.
- Higher chance of having severe problems during an epidemic.
- Can’t handle weather changes very well.
3 main factors contributing to a weakened immune system
1. Irregular routine
Starting with this point is important because even if you eat well and exercise intensely, a messed-up routine can ruin everything. It’s not an exaggeration; it’s a fact. The main reason for health problems like heart issues, cancer, impotency, and diabetes is an unhealthy daily routine. Many people today, especially those working night shifts, risk their health by staying up late and waking up late. It’s a dangerous bet on their well-being.
2. Pollution
The most essential thing our body needs is clean air. But what should we do when we breathe in dirty, polluted air? This polluted air harms our lungs, which means less oxygen for our other organs, and that leads to a weaker immune system.
3. Improper diet
In our busy lives, many people don’t pay much attention to what they eat and when they eat. Junk food, alcohol, and smoking can harm the immune system, especially among those living in big cities.
9 natural ways to enhance your immunity
1.Routine & habits
The number 1 factor to enhance your immunity is to make your life routine proper.
3 tips for a better life routine are:
- Early to bed early to rise.
- No smoking and alcohol
- No sleep for more than 45 minutes in the daytime. You have the night to sleep for 6-7 hours.
2. What you eat and when you eat
I’m surprised to see that today people are eating as per their dietitian’s suggestions or what their gym trainers suggest them to eat without even knowing their own body nature. Even most dietitians don’t try to know about the candidates’ body nature might be because of a lack of knowledge about it.
Every edible item is not suitable for everybody. What is best for one may be bad for another because of different body nature. Our body has 3 doshas namely Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. One with a high Vata dosha should eat fewer food items that increase Vata inside the body. Same for Pitta and Kapha.
Most of the dietitians today don’t have the knowledge to check and know the body type of a person. They suggest everyone same high protein and low carb diet without even considering the three doshas. Every food item has its own nature and has a specific time to eat like in the morning or noon or evening. Dinner should be done before 6:30 p.m. We need to understand the nature of a food item plus our own body nature. If we know that we can have a tough immune system.
3. Yoga
Yoga’s magic is recognized worldwide now. It began in India but is practiced everywhere. People love yoga exercises and breathing routines (Pranayams) and do them with passion. If you start your day with yoga before sunrise, your immune system becomes strong enough to fight tough viruses. It’s a global wellness trend!
4. Spending time with nature
Nature gives us many gifts like plants, trees, rivers, and mountains. They offer fresh air and a chance for our bodies to heal and feel better, not just physically, but mentally too. As we’ve embraced more technology, we’ve distanced ourselves from nature, which has led to more health problems and weaker immune systems. So, it’s a good idea to spend time in nature whenever you can.
5. Think positive
Your thinking makes a huge impact on your health. When you think positively, it generates the chemical reactions inside you that enhance your mood and confidence. This elevates your energy level and ultimately has a positive impact on your overall health.
6. No use of cosmetics
The stuff in cosmetics isn’t just bad for your skin; it can go deep into your body and make your immune system weaker. These things get inside through your skin’s little openings and can harm the soft parts inside your body. So, is it really smart to use these harmful cosmetics just for nicer skin temporarily, when they can cause lasting damage to your organs and, eventually, your immune system? Please stop using these cosmetics in the name of this beauty. There are plenty of natural herbs in nature and even in your kitchen that you must use to enhance your beauty like turmeric, milk, sandalwood, etc.
7. Take Triphala with milk
Triphala is mentioned frequently by Maharshi Vagbhatt in his book ‘Ashtanga Hridayam.’ Triphala balances the body’s three doshas, namely Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. In the world, only Triphala has the potential to balance these three doshas. Once these doshas are balanced, you’ll experience an immense boost in your immunity.
8. No RO water
Please stop following the crowd and believing all TV commercials marketing RO water purifiers. You’re drinking water devoid of essential nutrients that this RO process filters out. The best way to consume nutrient-rich water is to boil it and drink it once it has cooled down to normal room temperature.
9. Less use of gadgets
It’s a fact that gadgets have become a part of our lives and are quite valuable as well. These smart devices have made the world smarter by providing instant access to information and connecting with anyone instantly through real-time chat and video. However, using them for extended periods can create health issues due to their radio waves and microwaves, of which most people aren’t aware.
In this blog article, I’ve tried my best to teach you about the 9 best ways to boost your immune system naturally. Weak immunity leads to frequent illnesses, heightened disaster vulnerability, and weather sensitivity. Factors like an irregular routine, pollution, and an improper diet contribute to weakened immunity. Tips include establishing a proper routine, a personalized diet based on body nature, yoga, connecting with nature, positive thinking, avoiding harmful cosmetics, and more.
