How you treat your body affects how healthy you are. Lack of rest, exercise and sleep compromises immune function and increase your susceptibility to ailments. Light to moderate exercises strengthens your body and keeps the illnesses away. Adequate sleep and rest is equally important. One must try and get at least eight hours of sleep (to rejuvenate ourselves). To keep ones stress levels under check, incorporate relaxing techniques like meditation, tai chi or pranayam into your daily routine. Remember that each gram of wrong food that goes into your system substitutes for one gram of immune enhancing nutrient that you would otherwise take. Immunity building is a process and not a fixed state. It needs to be worked upon consistently
Sangeeta replied. I would like to draw your attention to how yoga is useful for this purpose. Pranayam is a good way to improve breathing and cure respiratory disorders. Yoga also has many asanas if you are suffering from specific diseases and conditions. All this is so much better. You can try and see how fresh you feel after doing particular asanas in of yoga. But you should always take expert’s or yoga teacher’s guidance while performing yoga. Once you start practising yoga regularly you will feel strong and will be able to strengthen you immune system. Ranjeet replied. Hey this is interesting! I did not know that people can fall sick simply because they do not sleep properly. I know my uncle always used to be suffering from cold and he hardly used to sleep for four hours. Maybe that is why he keeps falling sick. I do not know how some people are awake studying and working whole night but they do not fall sick at all. I do not know why every body feel that sleep is so important to a mankind. I think that your sleep requirements go on increasing as you continue sleeping. And I do not know how sleep affects your immune system. Priya replied. Fruits are the most important thing to stay healthy. Every day I encourage my children to eat fruits. Sometimes I make juice and give to them. Most of the time they remain healthy and I do not have to bother about them falling sick. I also make fruit salads of various types so that my children are highly encouraged to eat fruits. They have started loving fruits with ice-cream but I giving ice-cream all the time. So times I also give them dry fruits with milk or chocolate sauce. My kids just love to eat dry fruits with chocolate sauce. However I make sure that I do not let them over-eat dry fruit and chocolate sauce.
