Tips to boost immunity with homeopathy

Have you ever wondered how at every change of the season you fall ill but your colleague, sitting right next to you in office, seems to be unaffected? If you eat an ice cream once in a while, you catch a cold while someone you know eats one almost every other day and seems to be just fine?

Such incidences leave you questioning why only you are being subjected to such reactions. The answer to this lies in your body, in the form of your immune system.

Your immune system is responsible for fighting pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms that enter your body and can make you ill. If a virus is present in the air, it should ideally affect every person breathing the air. But that is often not the case. How your body reacts to these pathogens depends on how strong your immune system is. Therefore, there is a very strong connection between your immunity and your quality of life. With the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, it is imperative to work on your immunity.

Our organ systems are not very different from machines or systems we see around us. Just as good maintenance helps keep our machines in the best form, similarly our immune system can work at its optimum if we take the right measures to maintain it.

Even though each individual is born with an immune system, its effectiveness depends on many internal and external factors.

Let’s have a look at some of these factors.

Genetics – If your parents have any immune deficiencies, there is a high probability that you will inherit them at birth. Such deficiencies can be diagnosed either immediately after birth or in some cases even later in childhood or adulthood. They weaken the immune system, allowing health problems and infections to occur more frequently leading to low immunity.

Food intake – The importance of eating foods rich in nutrients cannot be underplayed. According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine an adequate intake of iron, zinc and vitamins A, E, B6 and B12 is particularly important for the maintenance of immune function.

Lifestyle and Environment – Your daily environment does have an impact on your immunity. If you are generally surrounded by unhealthy and unhygienic environments, it can impact your health negatively. Your immune system has to work harder as your exposure to pathogens increases. Your lifestyle choices also have an impact on your immune health.  Sleeping patterns, diet preferences, work schedules, ability to handle stressful situations, exercising and other similar factors have a significant impact on your immune health.

Underlying ailments – People suffering from underlying chronic ailments, such as chronic lung disease, asthma, allergies, and so on, have a harder time warding off diseases. This is primarily because their immune systems are already working hard against the underlying ailments to protect them from new attacks of pathogens.

When it comes to immunity problems, children are most at risk. This is because their immune system is still developing. Child immunity is hence a matter of concern for many parents. We have already seen the impact of consuming nutritious food on the immune health. Hence, parents are wise to invest in different immunity boosting foods for children.
