How Your Immune System Protects Your Health

Healthy immune function is a whole-body effort, and maintaining it takes a holistic approach. Here’s a few things that can help:

• Get at least seven hours of sleep a night—and avoid pulling any all-nighters.
• Exercise regularly to promote memory cells, enhance skin immunity, and mobilize immune cells.
• Minimize stress as much as possible or practice healthy coping strategies, like exercise.
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins to provide essential micro- and macronutrients and important phytonutrients. A healthy diet (that includes healthy amounts of fiber) will also provide your microbiome with what it needs to maintain good gut barrier function.
• Practice good hygiene, including frequent handwashing, so your body doesn’t have to deal with as many pathogens in the first place.
