1. Healthy Diet: Consuming more than five servings of fresh vegetables and fruits daily, along with moderate amounts of low-fat foods, ensures adequate daily intake of vitamins and minerals, which greatly supports immune system function.
2. Increase Physical Activity: Regular aerobic exercise can boost the body's immunity. Exercising for 20–30 minutes daily helps strengthen the immune system.
3. Regular Rest: Ensuring sufficient sleep improves immune function. Getting at least eight hours of sleep each night helps enhance immunity and resist viral infections.
4. Appropriate Immune-Boosting Supplements: Consider taking supplements known to support immunity, such as vitamins C, E, and B-complex. Maintaining regular intake can help strengthen the immune system.
5. Proactive Infection Prevention: Wash hands frequently, change clothes regularly, maintain good personal hygiene, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid crowded places, learn about diseases and virus transmission mechanisms, and promptly identify and report symptoms to prevent viral infections.
