Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
The best way for women to enhance their immune system is through comprehensive health management, including nutrition, exercise, sleep, and psychological regulation.
First, attention should be paid to dietary nutrition. Consuming more foods rich in vitamin C and zinc—such as fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and eggs—helps provide essential nutrients and strengthens immunity.
Second, regular physical activity helps build muscle and strengthen the immune system. It is recommended to exercise for about 30 to 50 minutes daily, combining aerobic exercises with strength training. This improves metabolism, reduces stress, promotes overall metabolic function, and thereby boosts immunity.
Third, ensuring adequate sleep is crucial. It is advised to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, or massage can help relieve stress, regulate emotions, and support normal immune system function.
Lastly, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and try to stay away from crowded public places to prevent viral infections, which can significantly weaken the immune system.
