Dear Roopashree,
My resolution is to prioritise my health in 2021 and boost my immune system. Other than keeping six feet apart, washing my hands, wearing a mask and avoiding junk food, what should I be focusing on?
Thank you,
Kartik

Ans:

In today's times, immunity is of prime importance.

A healthy lifestyle, including a well-balanced diet and a fitness regimen is very essential.

Avoid unhealthy fried foods, sugary foods and high fat savouries which lower our immunity.

Stick to eating regular and fresh foods like vegetables, fruits and salads, which provide the fibre component essential for improving metabolism and gut health.

Cardio activities and strength training exercises will go a long way in building a healthy home and family.

When children grow in such an environment, they acquire similar habits, leading to a healthy generation.

Ans:

Your profile indicates that you are overweight.

To increase immunity, focus on losing fat percentage by refraining from high fat and sugar food, juices, hard or soft drinks, fast foods etc.

You must get your blood sugar levels under control as uncontrolled diabetes is a prime reason of low immunity.

Avoid refined food products and sweets and incorporate a daily exercise schedule.

Eat high fibre foods to increase gut health and reduce the glycaemic index.

Refrain from indulging in fried foods and oily foods to reduce your cholesterol level.

Follow a daily exercise schedule to increase metabolic rate and strength.

Try and increase your vitamin C intake and hydrate well

Ans: Namaste!
We can make our life extremely healthy by maintaining a balance in everything that we do. We can eat well, sleep well, work in moderation, exercise often, focus on our breathing patterns. Staying healthy is the most natural thing we as human beings are designed to do.

Ans: Hello Anonymous,
Immunity can be improved in many ways. Listing a few-
1) Doing regular yoga and especially some form of breathwork for 15 minutes can help a lot.
2) Having some vitamin supplements like for Vit D3, B12 etc but this please take guidance of your Dr and then start
3) A healthy diet consisting of fruits, nuts, seeds, salads, soups, green leafy vegetables, fresh juices made of amla, ash gourd etc can help
4) Meditation plays a huge role in reducing stress and hence increasing immunity
5) Having a good deep sleep
6) Regular exercises like walks, cardio can help you stay fit.
All the best!
