Feeling under the weather? Your well-being is determined by the health and strength of your immune system, a network of special cells that work together to protect your health.

This network is essential to feeling great, but it can become polluted. An imbalanced diet, dehydration, and lack of sleep contribute to an immune deficiency. Good eating, drinking, and sleeping habits, as well as natural remedies like acupuncture, will boost the effectiveness of your immune system.

Diet and Immunity

The foods you eat can have a significant impact on how you feel. Eating a relatively healthy and balanced diet can keep your immune system happy, and in return, you’ll feel better. Check out this list of immunity boosting foods and try incorporating them into your diet today.

Drink Plenty of Water

It’s a no brainer that water is essential to our bodies, but how much (or how little) water you’re drinking might be having a bigger impact on your immunity than you think. Water helps your blood transport oxygen, removes toxins, treats common sicknesses, and helps you digest all that immune boosting food you are eating! If you aren’t drinking enough water, your immune system is going to have to put up a harder battle against all the toxins in your body that makes you feel ill.

Get Enough Sleep

When facing a lack of sleep, a lot of things can misfire in your body. You start to feel foggy and stop thinking straight – and so does your immune system. The more you deprive yourself of sleep, the harder it is for your immune system to function; keep that in mind next time you’re binging the newest season of your favorite show.

Acupuncture to Boost Immunity Naturally

Acupuncture increases the number of antibodies that your immune system uses to fight off sickness. The greater the number of antibodies in your body, the faster they’ll be able to fight off illnesses.
