7 key habits and tips for a healthy immune system
Sorry to disappoint some with this appealing title, but there are no 5,7,10 or whatever number of habits, tips or tricks for a healthy immune system.
That’s a filthy lie that way too many people are using for marketing purposes. It is time that health starts to be considered a serious subject and stops being treated like the next consumer trend.
Do we hear something like “7 key tips for maintaining an assembly unit facility properly?” or “5 habits of a good aircraft mechanic?” No, of course not, because these are considered serious.
We would also not hear “10 tips for practicing a good abdominal surgery,” but for some awkward reason, the internet is filled with habits, tips, and tricks for a healthy immune system.
So let’s be honest here and say that the immune system is a very complex human entity, that it is linked to our overall health, and that almost anything can have a positive or negative impact on our immune system.
Therefore, to have a healthy immune system, you should start by aiming at being healthy, and that starts with adopting a healthy diet.
What are some of the best immune-boosting foods
This simply doesn’t exist. Sorry again for disappointing some of you that are looking for quick tips and tricks, the secret recipe to boost your immune system is a mirage, an illusion created for marketing purposes.
Same as for the above example, the internet is filled with “the best food for this or that.” The reality is that eating goji berries, açai, ginger, cinnamon, or maca without changing your diet to a healthy one will not make any significant difference apart from consuming new products.
This is why, when the trend is over, it changes to another product, and people constantly chase the “new superfood” or the “new secret recipe,” making them consume more and more.
Don’t get us wrong there, we are not saying that consuming goji berries, açai, etc. is bad, on the contrary, these are good products filled with important nutrients (provided that the quality is good).
But thinking that eating those in addition to an average diet will boost your immune system is a mistake that can either lead to disappointment or a false sense of confidence that you are taking good care of your immune system.
Adopting a healthy diet
Adopting a healthy diet is the most important thing you can do to improve your health yourself.
A healthy diet is not about removing some foods and adding others or eating fewer calories and more fibers, it is about understanding what the human specie is made to eat and how.
