As a reminder, the following tips are intended to strengthen your natural immunity, but they are not a substitute for medication and should not be considered medical advice. Always consult your doctor with any questions or concerns regarding your health.

1. Drink water and stay hydrated.
It's always important to stay hydrated, but when viruses are going around, regularly drinking water becomes even more crucial. Our immune system depends on the nutrients in our bloodstream in order to perform optimally, and the majority of our blood is made up of water. We can't get the nutrients to each organ system if we don't have enough water in our bodies. Staying hydrated is important for detoxification, lymphatic drainage, and getting rid of waste from our system. To keep yourself hydrated, try drinking at least 500 ml of water first thing in the morning and another large glass of water with each meal. If you’re not a fan of plain water, add a squeeze of lemon to spice things up.

2. Prioritize rest, hygiene, and time outdoors.
Adequate rest and immunity go hand in hand. And where rest is concerned, there are things besides getting enough sleep that we can do as part of our daily routines to help strengthen our immunity. Activities like yoga, meditation, forest bathing, hiking, and spending time in nature can help lower your cortisol level, leave you feeling more balanced and less anxious, and provide the much-needed rest your mind needs.
Make time on your vacation to slow down and rest. Start a new hobby, watch a documentary, and curl up with a good book. Allow yourself to slow down and listen to what your body needs. Most importantly, having good hygiene habits can make a big difference in how well your immune system works. Think about cleaning your home and workspace often and adding an air purifier to filter the air around you.

3. Nourish your body with fermented and gut-healthy foods.
Food plays a role in making sure that our organs are healthy and working well. When possible, eating organic and colorful foods helps our immune system. Diets that reduce inflammation are also recommended by nutritionists to improve gut health since most of our immune cells live in the gut.
Leafy greens, chickpeas, turmeric, and chia seeds are all good for your gut, just like beets, kimchi, sauerkraut, and other high-fiber, probiotic, and prebiotic foods. When you need a break, you can keep dried or canned legumes, bulk seeds, root vegetables, and fermented vegetables on hand. Many of these foods are affordable and have a long shelf life. You can also count on organic probiotic supplements when you don't have time to spare.

While these are all great tips to help boost your immunity naturally, they're just a few examples. There are plenty of other things you can do to keep your immune system functioning at its best.
