What do you do to boost your immune system?

hi well as a diabetic I obviously already have a damaged immune system so to keep it going much better I do eat my veggies and fruits all the time, and eat just alittle meat. I try to stay optimistic at all times. smile and laugh a lot, exercise and always stay positive. all these help to make me happier and' healthier too.

I drink a lot of fruit juices from a real fruits using a blender or a fruit juice extractor so I could get the purest juice. This is my way to extract vitamin C in its purest form. I do exercise to and bath on the morning sunshine every morning to get the Vitamin D. I also exercises twice a week and jog around the hill uphills and down hills. Then, i make sure to drink milk and avoid eating food rich in fats. I make sure i eat a balanced meals to get healthy body and calm mind too.

To boost you immune system you need to take vitamins, eat the right kind of food, drink plenty of water and exercise. Hand washing is also important to lessen the transfer of germs.

as for me, i take vitamins to enhance my immune system. It seems that i really need it. I also eat healthy foods and most especially fruits that can boost my immune system. Just like you, it's important for me to be relaxed but i just feel relaxed when sipping coffee and reading book i like

I have a list of things I do to boost my immune system. Let's see, well I try to get enough quality sleep in the night. Also try to decrease my stress level and not easily get upset, because that I find is when many people get sick, when they are upset. I have a friend of mine who stresses out so many about everything in her life, that she keeps getting cancers back and forth! The mind is so powerful more than most people realize. Anyway, I try to drink lots of water, eat healthy with lots of vegetables and protein and little crap or junk food, exercise regularly and keep your weight down as well. I also avoid negative people, even the news hour because I find it can be quite draining mentally. I also do things that give my pleasure, like being outside in nature, reading, just anything to relax the mind.

It is very important to keep ourselves young by keeping our heart as young as possible, which would help a lot for our immune system. When we meet the depression or fustration, we should have our ways to let them out otherwise it will accumulated enought to break out. That is why the Yoga is popular to relax ourselves. For me, I would like to see the far away sky in the middle of the night, then take a deep breath towards that direction, I felt that every bothering will disappear from that moment, assumed that the sky can take it away. To boost the immune system, apart from the psychological way, it is critical to absorb enough vitamin and protein to keep our boby run. I did not mean to take the vitamin or protein medicine for extra absorption, I just take it from the healthy food. Happy mylotting.

To boost my immune system, I eat lots of fruits and vegetables and supplement when needed, I exercise and I drink lots of water!

Different strokes for different folks, . u know vacations are not in my life but i'm glad they help u. I guess maybe i do more than i think but don't work at it like i should.

i just don't eat a lot of meat and fats, i drink juice, natural juice and drink lots of water a day. i seldom eat vegetables that is why i just eat a lot of fruits to make me still healthy.

For me the best immune system booster is to exercise at least 4 to 5 times a week like running.. Drink vitamins or herbal supplements, eat fruits & vegetables and of course always in good vibes to make you feel happy =)

Hi,narguicha,nice discussion.Actually immune system is controlled by many factors.Apart from some hereditary resistance to some diseases,food,stress both physical and mental effects the immune system. Food-you have to take food,see that all vitamins,proteins and minerals should be there and especially vit-c[Amla,guava fruit etc] which enhances resistance. Physical and mental stress create imbalance in excretion of enzymes in our body effects badly on our immune system. Don't think much and be happy.We don't have control on future,so why we worry.This is my policy.Have a nice and happy time.

i think that the better way to improve our immune system is to eat a lot of vitamins, and we can find them inside the fruit and vegetables. There are a lot of vitamins, and our body needs them all, we can find C vitamin inside oranges, it's a good way to protect our self from flu. Eat meat and other kind of things from animals is important too, to get iron and other substances.

Maybe too improve our immune system is regularly doing sport like jogging, walking and to maximimize it just consume a vitamin or suplement that we need. Thanks happy mylotting

I do a variety of things to boost my immune system. First of course, is avoiding stress. Listening to soothing CDs such as classical or meditative CDs is at the top of the list. I also use some vitamins and herbal teas to help. Walking is also another favorite activity to get me relaxed--while it does get my heart rate up at first, I start to slowly start to relax, and chill out...

I agree with the fact that being relaxed and calm boosts the immune system. I am a therapist and I practice zazen (Zen meditation) every day and teach my clients how to do so also. There is no doubt about it, that meditation can lead to a better quality of life and health. I rarely take holidays these days, as I never feel I need one and I've been to most places anyway. Being mindful and absorbed in any hobby or work has a calming effect. In Zen the aim is to be mindful of what you are doing. There is a link on my profile to more information on meditation should anybody be interested. - Derek

adequate sleep is at the top of the list. we take vitamins daily and the ones that are most important for immune health especially like c and d. if for some reason we have to be on an antibiotic which i try to avoid we take acidophilus to keep the good bacteria in our digestive systems. i eat as much fruit and vegetables daily as possible and since my son does not i make sure he drinks orange juice or eats sweet potatoes and he takes many different vitamins for children. trying to have fun and laughing are important to immune health too as stress is not good for anyone.

I just eat right and exercise well. I do everyday exercise that could keep my body resistant to any causative agents that would lower my immune system. I believe that being overweight can disrupt the normal hormonal balance of the body. Exercise takes stress away. Stress is the number one cause of common diseases.Eating a balance diet feeds my system substances that are needed for normal functions. I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits.A good vacation makes me really relaxed.
