A strong immune system can keep you healthy during cold and flu season. 

If you want to avoid the cold and the flu, you need a strong immune system to help you stay healthy. Luckily, something as simple as lying on our far infrared bio mat can help you keep your immune system strong. In our last blog, we went over a few other things that you can do to strengthen your immune system, so if you haven’t read it yet, now is the time. Here are a few more tips for a stronger immune system:

#4. Reexamine your diet. 

Believe it or not, diet plays a huge role in how strong your immune system is. The traditional American diet is high in calories and low in nutrients. Replacing burgers, fries and soft drinks with nutrient dense fruits and vegetables can strengthen your immune system. Medicinal mushrooms, such as reishi, maitake and shiitake, are especially important for your immune system because of the beta-glucans that they contain. You should also know that sugary foods and beverages have been associated with immune system impairment.

#5. Limit your alcohol intake. 

Red wine might be well-known for being a good source of antioxidants, but excessive alcohol consumption can impair the immune system. Additionally, too much alcohol can also increase your risk for lung infections.

#6. Soak up some sunshine. 

Vitamin D is incredibly important for the immune system, but since most our lives happen indoors, many people don’t get enough of it. To increase your vitamin D intake, you need to make it a point to get outside more often.
