Tips to boost immunity
- Turn off your cell phone at bedtime
Sleeping well is already a very important factor in taking care of immunity, and that's why we need to avoid anything that disturbs our sleep. This is the case with night lights, usually coming from the screens of cell phones, computers and televisions.
This is because this light will block the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep and which is stimulated by darkness. So, at least an hour before bed, turn off your cell phones and enjoy a darker climate for the end of your day.
- do not isolate
As much as we're always talking about social distancing, that doesn't mean you should be completely alone. Especially because being away from friends and family affects our emotional balance and can lead to psychosomatic illnesses. This all ends up influencing our immunity which, like our body in general, is weakened. That is, whenever you can, gather friends safely or spend a few hours on the phone with that special someone.
- sex is life
There are already a number of studies that seek to trace the relationship between an active sex life and increased immunity. And they all point to the fact that sex stimulates the proliferation of bacteria in our gut and mouth mucous membranes. With this, those who have sex more are more likely to spread colds and viral diseases in general.
- stimulate the brain
Don't let the isolation period be a vacation for your brain, as exercising our mind is crucial to having good immunity. So, don't dismiss books, reflections and even games like crosswords and the like. Because, that way, you will be with your brain active and, consequently, healthier.
- No cigarettes!
Cigarette is a true enemy of our immunity, as it impairs oxygenation and leaves the respiratory system more fragile. So, take advantage of this time when we need to rethink our habits to try to get rid of this addiction. Finally, your body will certainly thank you for these practices that seek to improve immunity.
