Tips to Boost Immunity

Tips to Boost Immunity

Immunity has become a hot topic with the emergence of COVID-19. In addition to the pandemic, there are many other illnesses that can make you sick. A healthy immune system is one of the best methods to protect yourself from viruses and bacteria that you are exposed to. At Chiropractic of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA, our goal is to help our patients to be as healthy as possible.

Eat a Balanced Diet

According to Harvard, there isn't a specific immune-boosting diet or specific foods to eat for immunity. The key is to eat a healthy and balanced diet. They state that a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and fiber supports a healthy immune system. Diets high in processed foods, red meat, and refined sugar have a negative impact on immunity. Foods rich in probiotics also support immunity. These foods include kimchi, yogurt, kombucha, and sauerkraut are high in probiotics.

Stay Active

The relationship between stress and the immune system is not clearly understood. However, it is believed that moderate exercise is beneficial for your immune system. Exercise increases blood flow, strength, and promotes overall health. It is known that exercise increases the flow of white blood cells in the body. It is theorized that this may help the body fight off infections by detecting and attacking foreign cells faster with frequent exercise.

Reduce Stress With Chiropractic Care

Visiting a chiropractor can boost immunity in many ways. One of the simplest and most profound is its ability to reduce stress. Stress is known to have a negative impact on the immune system. Chiropractic care can relieve stress caused by pain, promote relaxation, and calm the sympathetic nervous system. Spinal health has been shown to have a cause-effect relationship with stress. Stress causes physical tension which can result in spinal misalignment and reduce the size and volume of the spine. Spinal problems increase stress and interfere with the sympathetic nervous system, which can cause further damage to your spine. Chiropractic care can correct the physical issues of the spine, which can reduce both physical and mental stress.
