The immune system is a natural mechanism that protects our body from various viruses, bacteria, and other foreign substances.
Experts at the BCHP emphasize that many of us mistakenly believe that immunity depends solely on physical condition. In reality, the body functions as a whole, where all aspects—emotions, habits, diet, and even social interactions—affect our ability to resist diseases.
The center has offered several unexpected but extremely important recommendations for regular support of the immune system.
- Reducing stress. Chronic pressure, whether at work or in personal life, depletes the body and weakens the immune system.
- Social connections. Studies show that people with strong social ties cope with difficulties more easily and encounter illnesses less frequently.
- Optimism. Positive thinking is a skill that can be developed and helps the body better cope with physical and emotional stress.
- Diverse nutrition. Consuming colorful vegetables and fruits promotes gut health, which in turn supports immunity. The more varied your plate, the greater the health benefits.
- Vitamins. During the winter period, the body may lack essential micronutrients, so discussing supplements with a doctor is advisable.
- Physical activity. Regular exercise strengthens the cardiovascular system and reduces the risk of various diseases.
- Sleep. Chronic lack of sleep is a serious enemy of the immune system. Adequate rest allows the body to recover and defend itself.
