Dr. Yang Ziqi
Boosting immunity involves multiple aspects of lifestyle adjustments and cultivating healthy habits. The following are scientifically proven recommendations:
1. Balanced diet: Ensure intake of various nutrients, including fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fish, legumes, nuts, and immune-essential minerals such as zinc, iron, and selenium.
2. Moderate exercise: Regular moderate-intensity physical activity can enhance immune system function and improve the body's resistance.
3. Stress reduction: Manage stress through meditation, yoga, deep breathing, or any relaxation techniques you prefer, as chronic stress can suppress the immune system.
4. Vaccination: Timely receive recommended vaccines, such as influenza and pneumococcal vaccines, to prevent diseases and strengthen immunity.
5. Good personal hygiene: Frequent hand washing, avoiding contact with sick individuals, and covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing help prevent the spread of pathogens.
If you have any concerns, it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly.
