[LifeStyle] How to train your immune system in times of Covid-19

[#Steeven.™]

The immune system is one of the hottest talking points. In the middle of the second wave of the Covid-19 coronavirus, doctors and health workers are studying the important role it plays

Healthy habits such as sleeping well, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy and balanced diet, tune up and fit our immune system. This very efficient system is able to learn to defend against external attacks if it finds balance.

“Since the beginning of time there has been a constant struggle between humans and pathogens that is the engine of both our evolution and that of the pathogens that confront us. On both sides of the host-pathogen interaction we evolve to try to take advantage of our enemy. The goal of pathogens is to benefit from us to reproduce and survive. Our goal: to eliminate the invader to survive and reproduce. The greatest defense weapon we have against these invaders is our immune system ”, explains Jorge Domínguez, researcher at the Department of Internal Medicine at the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen (The Netherlands).

 

What does our immune system need to be ready?
By adapting our habits and lifestyle we can train and fine-tune our defenses. The main objective to promote a trained immunity is to provide our immune system with the energy and nutrients it needs to be efficient, in addition to leading a healthy life and diet. Including vitamins such as vitamins A, C, D and B12 in our diet and minerals such as iron, selenium or zinc are essential today. Vitamin D and Zinc, present in supplements such as the well-known IMMUNOFERON, contribute to this normal functioning of the immune system.

Dr. Melchor Álvarez de Mon, director of the Department of Medicine and Medical Specialties at the University of Alcalá de Henares and head of the Immune System Diseases and Oncology service at the Prince of Asturias University Hospital in Madrid, explains that the keys to an immune system to point they consist of a healthy diet and life with physical exercise (10,000 daily steps) and the taking of food supplements, such as IMMUNOFERON.

IMMUNOFERON, composed of AM3® Technology, in combination with other ingredients such as zinc or vitamin D, has been around for more than 30 years and is part of the habits of those who seek to take care of themselves and have their defenses fit and ready.

“I can't risk missing my sports training for the Tokyo Olympics. Taking care of my defenses is an exercise that I have in my daily routine, ”says Sara Andrés, a Paralympic athlete who will participate representing Spain next summer in the long jump, 100-meter dash and universal relay.

There are many situations that can alter the proper functioning of the immune system such as chronic diseases, infections or certain medications. Even, many factors in our day to day can weaken it.

 

The importance of healthy habits in the immunity of our body
Jorge Domínguez explains that “a good diet, exercise, healthy habits such as not smoking or not drinking excessively, sleeping an adequate number of hours… has an impact on our immune system. Having it ready is in our power ”.

The society we live in unfortunately leads us to have a stressful lifestyle. In this context, it becomes essential to take care of ourselves both inside and out. Currently, one in three Spaniards suffers from a sleep disorder, but only a third of them go to a specialist to treat it. Another example is stress. One third of the world's po[CENSORED]tion between 18 and 44 years of age suffers from stress very frequently, affecting more women than men. Despite this, we are becoming increasingly aware of how important it is to take care of yourself. In this sense, it should be noted that 65% of Spaniards are concerned about leading a healthier lifestyle.
