Autumn is gradually settling in and we are slowly sliding into winter. In a logic of prevention, it is now that you must act to strengthen your immune system. Here are 5 natural tips and 1 bonus!

Petit rappel sur le système immunitaire

The immune system is that little army that protects the body from pathogens. It is divided into 2 main categories. There is the immune system :

• inside :

• • Leukocytes

• • NK cells, granulocytes, phagocytes...

• acquired or adaptive :

• • Lymphocytes → "memory response" (following a viral infection, vaccination...)

La priorité au microbiote intestinal

Your gut flora made up of billions of bacteria participate in modulating your immune response. A quality microbiota is a guarantee of good health. 

• Make a cure from probiotics.

• Favour a healthy, balanced and natural diet. Banish junk food and prepare homemade dishes rich in fresh, raw or lightly cooked seasonal fruits and vegetables.

• Beware of excesses: meals that are too rich and/or too much to drink

• Feed the good bacteria with prebiotics that are your allies: eat fiber, foods and lacto-fermented drinks such as sauerkraut, fruit kefir, kombucha...

Gérer le stress

Stress significantly weakens your immune system, we even talk about immune collapse. Indeed, stress is oxidative and acidifying which has the effect of modifyingplasma pH and therefore favoring the development and proliferation of viruses and pathogenic bacteria. 

Try as much as possible to :

• cut you off from the "disaster" information, 

• get away from things that cause you stress

• develop your emotional intelligence, 

•  connect you to nature, 

• get out, get some fresh air and go for a walk

• spending quality time with family and/or friends

• meditate,

• practice an art,  

• Sports, etc...

Finding a state of inner calm regenerates your cells and therefore potentiates the response of your immune system in case of aggression.

Faire du sport

Practicing physical activity not only relieves accumulated stress but also supportsthe production of feel-good hormones. Knowing that emotional state affects the quality of the immune response, sport helps maintain good health on all fronts. 

In addition, to this are added the benefits at the level of blood, lymphatic and energetic circulations, the elimination of toxins, osteo-articular mobility, muscular strengthening, cardiovascular, improvement of digestion, regulation of transit ...

Avoir un bon sommeil

One of the keys to good health naturally is sleep. Getting enough quality sleep is paramount to good physical and mental health. 

• Go to bed at a regular time

• respect your sleep needs

• take naps if necessary

• Allow yourself moments of "nothing". 

Rest time is just as important as action time. Indeed, it is during this time that the body regenerates, filters and drains toxins, certain hormones are secreted, the mind calms down, etc...
