I boost my immunity with a healthy lifestyle!

Between colds and bouts of depression, to maintain your immunity all year round, we rely on a simple and easy-to-follow routine. Here are some tips to follow.

.1 Exit industrial food, hello homemade!

Fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits (lemon, clementine, orange), consumed in the form of juice or salads, have a particularly interesting anti-infectious effect in fighting infections. Broccoli, rich in vitamins B9, C, and E, and beta-carotene, fermented products such as yogurt, sauerkraut, or pickles, help maintain the balance of your microbiota with good bacteria. Consider dried vegetables such as kidney or white beans, chickpeas, and lentils, natural sources of zinc and iron that contribute to the proper functioning of your immune system.

.2 Eat good fats!

While it's important to vary and balance your meals, don't forget vegetable oils: grapeseed oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil. They're a perfect substitute for butter and provide the good fatty acids (omega) that the body needs to strengthen its immunity and fight infections. Don't neglect oilseeds such as almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and vary your pleasure with oily fish, which are also packed with omega-3!

.3 Get enough sleep!

It can't be stressed enough, but sleeping little or sleeping poorly is enough to weaken the immune system and reduce the number of white blood cells, also called lymphocytes or leukocytes, whose role is to protect the entire body like guardians. Whether you're a light or heavy sleeper, it's essential to reach your sleep quota and get a good, restful night's sleep to protect yourself as much as possible from viruses and seasonal infections.

.4 Pamper your intestinal flora

Did you know that 70% of our immune system is located in the intestines? Hence the idea of ​​taking care of our intestinal flora. How? By preserving the balance of our microbiota thanks to the famous probiotics. These good bacteria will strengthen your immune barrier against infections.
