Methods to improve the immune system mainly include the following:
1. Balanced diet: Ensure adequate intake of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Foods rich in antioxidants, such as apples, and enzyme-rich foods like garlic are particularly beneficial. In addition, protein-rich foods such as fish, lean meats, eggs, and dairy products are excellent choices for enhancing immunity.
2. Regular exercise: Appropriate physical activities such as jogging, swimming, and yoga can strengthen the body and enhance immune function.
3. Sufficient sleep: Ensure 6-8 hours of sleep daily. High-quality sleep can increase the activity of immune cells, thereby strengthening immunity.
4. Reducing stress: Long-term chronic stress weakens the immune system; therefore, it is important to learn to relax and maintain a positive mindset.
5. Avoiding drug abuse: Excessive use of medications such as antibiotics may disrupt the body's natural defense mechanisms.
