How to Stop Viruses - Tips for a Healthier Immune System

In the autumn-winter season, people are more likely to suffer, especially if they are indoors and do not ventilate.
The most common reason is our weakened immune system, which fails to cope with the more frequent attacks of viruses - they become more active and thrive when summer is over and temperatures fall.
Instead of swallowing cold pills, strengthen your immune system to fight bacteria and viruses.

Here are some simple rules that have proven to have a positive effect on human immunity.

Eat more citrus fruit

If you can not eat lemons and grapefruit because you are too acidic, make lemonade with them by adding a little honey. In spite of their sour taste, citrus alkalizes the body and strengthens immunity.

Drink more fluids

Water removes poisons from the body and promotes better immunity. Herbal teas are also a wonderful moisturizer with beneficial properties. The bark, black elder, and echinacea are effective immunostimulants.

Less stress, more relaxation

Stress may be a major cause of a weakened immune system.
The most dangerous thing is when one can not cope with their emotions at all. There are different psychological ways to deal with stress, to form a calm attitude to everything in the surrounding reality. You are more likely to remind yourself that if you can not modify a situation, take it for granted. Another new way is the method of brain stimulation to normalize its activity.

Fatty tissue produces substances called cytokines. They are an element of the inflammatory process, the immune system struggles with them and is exhausted in an attempt to neutralize them.
The movement supports the optimal exchange of substances, and regular winter walks heat up the body. On the street, the risk of catching a cold or the flu is at times smaller than in indoor crowded rooms.
The premises should be ventilated regularly.
