10 Ways to maintain health so you don't get sick easily

1. Eat green vegetables Eating green and leafy vegetables is rich in vitamins that help you maintain a balanced diet and support a healthy immune system. According to a study conducted on mice, eating criciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, can help send chemical signals to the body that increase the protein on the cell surface needed to make the immune system work more optimally. In this study, healthy mice that did not eat green vegetables decreased cell surface protein by 7080 percent. 2. Take vitamin D Vitamin D deficiency can cause symptoms of illness such as poor bone growth, heart problems, and a weak immune system. Foods that contain the best sources of vitamin D include egg yolks, mushrooms, salmon, tuna and beef liver. You can also buy vitamin D supplements and choose those that contain D3 (cholecalciferol), because this is good at increasing vitamin D levels in your blood. But before taking supplements, you should consult this with your doctor. 3. Regular exercise Stay active by exercising regularly. You can start with a light exercise such as walking or jogging. Regular exercise can make you fit and slim. In addition, a study shows that regular exercise can prevent inflammation and chronic diseases, reduce stress, and accelerate the circulation of white blood cells to fight disease. 4. Get enough sleep Adequate sleep is one of the keys to a strong immune system and keeps the body in a state that is in good condition so that it can carry out good activities. A study shows that people who sleep at least eight hours every night for two weeks show that the body is more immune from attacks by viruses and bacterial germs. Meanwhile, people who are less than 6 hours a night will be 4 times more susceptible to flu from viruses than people who sleep 7 hours or more.

5. Manage your stress Stress has been shown to affect the health of the body, making people susceptible to disease. Cortisol helps fight inflammation and disease. Constant hormone release in people who experience chronic stress can actually reduce the ability of these hormones. This can cause the body to become inflamed and susceptible to disease. So one way to maintain proper body health is to control stress. You can try doing yoga or meditation exercises or you can do activities that you like to control or relieve stress. 6. Socialize with people around Loneliness is often associated with triggers of several diseases and also with social relations can help the mental health of people or people who have performed heart surgery to accelerate the recovery period. Research published in the American Psychological Association shows that social isolation can increase stress, which slows down the body's immune response and the ability to heal quickly. 7.
