Strengthening the immune system in everyday life
It is particularly important to take good care of yourself during the cold season. Many people notice this now: Your nose starts to run faster, your energy levels are lower and your body seems more susceptible. But it doesn't have to be that way. Because your immune system is not just a product of chance. You can actively do something about it - without any hocus-pocus.
In this episode of the Darmglück podcast, I share 12 everyday tips with you that will strengthen your immune system and do your whole body good at the same time.
Why the gut is crucial
Did you know that over 70% of your immune cells are located in the gut? So it's no wonder that healthy intestinal flora is also crucial for your immune system. That's why Fiber-rich foods, fermented products and probiotics play a major role. And this is exactly where our journey to better immunity begins.
12 tips that really work
- Eat colorful food - especially lots of vegetables instead of too much fruit
- Exercise regularly - it doesn't have to be a marathon, even a walk makes a big difference
- Pay attention to fiber and ideally also eat probiotic foods
- Supplement vitamin D - especially in winter, but also all year round depending on your blood values
- Get enough and good sleep - Your immune system needs regeneration
- Reduce stress - Breaks, music and breathing exercises help
- Drink enough water - this also supports your mucous membranes
- Make sure you have good indoor air - not too dry, so feel free to set up a humidifier in winter
- Breathe through your nose instead of through your mouth. Practice this with the help of the face shaper https://www.arktisbiopharma.ch/products/faceformer-zero or the relaxator https://www.arktisbiopharma.ch/products/der-relaxator-atem-trainer, for example
- Use cold stimuli - Alternating showers or cold water
- Let your body work sometimes - Fever is not your enemy
- Don't forget the joy - Laugh, dance, socialize
And if you also want to support want: I use a few targeted dietary supplements myself:
- Grow acacia fibers (fiber for the microbiome)
- Arktibiotik Compens (probiotic for gut & nerves)
- Colostrum Strong liquid (immune booster with immediate effect)
- Arktis VitaC (pH-neutral and gentle on the stomach)
- Basis Care Plus (multivitamin with CoQ10 and L-carnitine)
