HOW TO STAY HEALTHY.. .. AND BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM As the return to work gathers momentum in re-opening Britain (again) for business, staying healthy is our main focus in these challenging times.
What is the best advice for keeping your immune system healthy and functioning at its best to help fight viruses? As in ‘normal times’ the advice is pretty much the same: ensure you have adequate rest and sleep, exercise regularly, eat well, and stay hydrated. But eating the right foods and drinking the recommended daily intake of fluids are particularly vital.
DID YOU KNOW.. ..that 70% of your immune system is based in the gut, so boosting your immune health through good nutrition, proper rest and good hydration is important to help fight off infection?
How can I eat healthier? Vitamin and minerals — particularly A, C and E, as well as zinc — play an important role in keeping the immune system strong so that it can fight off any germs and illness. Consider your plate of food and make sure each meal contains a balanced mix of vegetables and lean meats or fish, combined with dairy and healthy fats, and this should deliver what you need to help keep your immune system strong.
