It's always been important to do everything you can to strengthen your natural immune system. In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become even more obvious that we need to do whatever we can to build a strong immune system.

We all have a natural system for maintaining health and defending against illnesses, including viral and bacterial attacks and internal inflammations, known as our immune system.

While the strength of our natural immune system depends to a great ext3ent on such factors as age, overall health, medications and medical interventions we may be undergoing, and the genetic strength, or weakness, we may have inherited from our ancestors, there ARE a few things we can do to strengthen our natural immune system.

It's easy to say that simple lifestyle changes can boost our immune system, but, what exactly are these lifestyle changes?

• Good Nutrition: Eat a healthy diet, with a broad selection of fruit and vegetables.


• Exercise: Regular, moderate exercise has been proven to help strengthen the immune system.


• Alcohol Only IN Moderation: Not recommending you drink, as that can weaken your immune system, but moderate alcohol consumption should be okay for most people.


• Avoid Stress: While this can be hard to do in our modern society, especially with things like world politics the way they are, the COVID-19 pandemic with the many COVID variants cropping up all the time, etc., but learning to meditate or taking up a practice such as yoga, may help.


• Sleep: Although we're all different, getting a good night's sleep can help strengthen our immune systems immensely.
