What is Immunity in humans?

Immunity is the first line of defense by a human body. Whenever there is a viral attack on a human body like Corona or flu, the body unleashes white blood cells or WBCs that form an army of fighting cells. But, it is prone to inactiveness. So, vaccines are those antibodies or proteins that help activate such cells in case of a viral attack. Now that we know what Immunity is? Let’s understand how to achieve that.

• Short Workouts:

Any workout session between 30-45 minutes can help your body increase the number of WBCs and immunity-based cells. Short bursts of intensive physical exercises can help your body produce more antibodies and immunity powers.

• Anti-inflammatory Ingredients:

While at home, try to have anti-inflammatory foods. Foods such as turmeric, ginger, walnuts, tomatoes, blueberries, and even olive oil. Most of these foods are readily available, even in the lockdown, and can boost your Immunity.

• Vitamin C and D:

Though stepping out and having some Sun for vitamin D is not an option. One can choose to eat Salmon, egg whites, and other such foods while the vitamin is a lot easier with lemons and oranges in your system.

• High-Fibre:

High fiber foods can be taken in two ways. There many veggies and fruits rich in fiber. While there are variants of wheat that are rich in fiber, oats, muesli, semolina, quinoa, and many others can be rich in fiber.

Fruits like apples, bananas, and others are also rich in fibers. Green veggies are the best source of fibers, and even vitamin B. Fiber-rich food helps your system to stay clean and boost higher Immunity.

• Legendary Green Tea:

Straight out of Chinese culture, green tea, or herbal tea has the quality of boosting Immunity. Its antioxidants help intoxicate your body. It also helps the body to increase the production of antibodies. Add some honey and lemon juice to make it healthier.
