Boost Real talk How to boost your immune health your immunity How often do we only think to give our immune system the attention it deserves once we catch a virus we can't shake? Our immune system has an important job in helping our body fight infection (microbes), and is made up of white blood cells, antibodies, bone marrow, the lymphatic system and more*. By caring for our immune health year-round, we may find it rewards us with overall better health, stronger defence against sickness, and quicker recovery if we do become unwell. With Dom Puttick Accredited Practing Dietitian and Personal Trainer Nourish your body and your immune system with these super foods, naturally rich in immune boosting vitamins and minerals'. Here's my tips for helping to boost your immunity: CITRUS: bursting with vitamin C, try juicing or adding a squeeze of any of these fruits to a meal - grapefruit, oranges, lemons and tangerines. RED CAPSICUM: containing less sugar and higher levels of vitamin C than citrus', red capsicum also contains beta carotene (which the body converts to vitamin A), helping to keep eyes and skin healthy. A tasty addition to a stir fry! GARLIC: not only delicious to flavour food with, but also contains 'allicin', a compound believed to fight infections and help keep colds and flu viruses at bay TURMERIC: Famous for its bright yellow colour in curries, this traditional spice contains the compound curcumin believed to provide antioxidant and anti- inflammatory effects that may assist with osteoarthritis. • Wash your hands – washing thoroughly and frequently helps prevent the spread of germs. • Get vaccinated – vaccinations help reduce the risk of catching a virus by allowing the body to create the antibodies needed to recognise and attack a virus if exposed to it. Different immunisa- tions may be recommended based on age, health, lifestyle and other factors. • Prioritise sleep - Aiming for 7-9 hours of sleep each night may help maintain optimum health and boost mood. GINGER: believed to contain strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, this delicious addition to fresh juices, teas or even baking can help boost immune function. • Nourishment - as part of our immune system is in the digestive track, it's important tolook after it by eating a healthy, balanced diet including a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, full of different immune-boosting vitamins and minerals. • Sunshine - while some sunshine is important in helping us produce vitamin D, most people can absorb sufficient vitamin D with just a few minutes of sun exposure daily. If heading out, always remember to cover up, wear broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen, and avoid exposure when UV levels are 3 or higher. • Stress less stress has a significant impact on the immune system, and can affect body function if experienced chronically over time. Find healthy ways to deal with or reduce stress such as meditation, yoga, exercise, massage, reading, or art therapy. DARK CHOCOLATE: when eaten in moderation, dark chocolate contains an antioxidant called theobromine that can help protect the body's cells and help reduce blood pressure?. SPINACH: full of essential nutrients and antioxidants to boost the immune system, spinach includes flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamin C and vitamin E- an easy addition to salad, pasta dishes or sandwiches! OILY FISH: salmon, tuna, anchovies and mackerel are all a great source of protein, vitamin D and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a special type of fat which can help reduce the effects of rheumatoid arthritis and improve heart health³. MIGHTY& vitamins minerals It's no surprise that boosting our immune health comes down to making healthy lifestyle decisions, and we're here to support you with that.
