9 simple tips capable of strengthening your immune system

You may not like the idea, but the truth is that we live surrounded by nasty bacteria and viruses. The good news is that we have a very effective internal defense mechanism to fight the consequences caused by these micro-organisms, the immune system. Special cells are distributed throughout our body, and when a potentially dangerous organism affects us, these cells send a warning signal to prevent the spread of disease. Therefore, we can say that this system operates in a network, doing a really incredible job for our protection. For this reason, we need to keep our immune system always in top shape.

O awesome.club knows that it is essential for our body to remain protected throughout the year, which is why he has prepared a list of methods capable of strengthening the immune system. And be sure to check out the bonus at the end of this post: you will certainly be surprised by our suggestion.

Honey is rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes, as well as acting as an antioxidant to fight free radicals.

Garlic already contains substances that increase the ability of white blood cells to defend themselves against some viruses. It is fundamental to grind instead of cutting the garlic, because when crushed, the food releases more of its main component (aliin).

1 cup of honey 8 to 10 cloves of garlic

Place the garlic in a glass jar and cover with honey. Let it sit at room temperature for three to five days, then place the mixture in the fridge. After that, the solution will be ready to be ingested. Take a small spoonful once a day.

Curcuminoids, the active components of turmeric, have many health benefits, such as anti-viral properties and boosting the immune system.

Ginger has strong antibacterial and antiviral properties, which also helps to strengthen the immune system.

3 cups of hot water 1 cm of peeled and grated turmeric root, or two small spoonfuls of powdered turmeric 1 cm of peeled and grated ginger.

Boil water and add turmeric and ginger. Let it act for five to 10 minutes. Add honey or lemon to taste.

Lemons are exceptionally rich in vitamin C, which makes them an excellent immune system booster.

1 cup warm water Juice of 1/2 lemon

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a glass with a little water and drink it right away, as vitamin C is very unstable.

As we mentioned above, ginger is very good for our health thanks to its antibacterial and antiviral properties, while lemon is rich in vitamin C.

Cayenne pepper is also a source of vitamin C, as well as beta-carotene and antioxidants that help our bodies fight harmful bacteria. This spice is very spicy and raises the body temperature, activating the immune system in the process.

2 cm of peeled and grated ginger Juice of 1/2 lemon 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Mix all the ingredients and drink. You can also add a spoonful of honey and a small piece of crushed garlic.

Honey and ginger can also be combined with licorice root and echinacea.

Echinacea could very well be considered a superpower herb, as the plant, in its entirety, is great for boosting the immune system. It can be found in capsules, in pharmacies and specialized websites.

Licorice is not just for making candy, but it is also a root with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant characteristics. This makes it an instrument for the regulation of immunity. But we don’t recommend that you consume licorice for a long time, but for four to six weeks.

4 cups water 1/2 cup peeled and grated licorice root 1/2 cup peeled and grated echinacea root 1 cup honey 5 cm of a piece of ginger.

Boil the water, add the echinaea, the licorice root and the ginger, cooking over low heat for 45 minutes. Then let it cool and add the honey.

Mushroom extract has many health benefits and has been used in Chinese medicine for millennia. Mushrooms are believed to be unique foods for boosting the immune system for their ability to prevent immune cells from “sticking” to the walls of blood vessels. There are some types that have a strong power to favor our immunity, such as shiitake, maitake, cordyceps and tremella fuciformis. Each of them helps the immune system in different ways. Mixing some of its extracts provides an even greater benefit.

Not only is this juice rich in vitamins; it is an ideal alternative to boost the immune system. Besides, it’s delicious!

Spinach is also known as a functional food for the following reason: it is high in vitamins, including vitamin C, not to mention beta-carotene and antioxidants that help our bodies fight infections and viruses.

Oranges are also rich in vitamin C, which is essential for fighting colds or flu.

Celery is another source of vitamin C and antioxidants, which help to improve the efficiency of our immune system.

Ginger, as we already said, is known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties.

2 cups spinach 2 oranges 2 celery stalks 2 cm piece of ginger, peeled and grated.

Prepare a juice with all the ingredients and drink it in the morning.

Echinacea is a well-known stimulant herb—we’ve already covered it here. There are several varieties of the plant, but only three species have characteristics that improve the immune system: echinacea angustifolia🇧🇷 echinacea pallida and echinacea purpurea🇧🇷 So if you want to prepare an extract, choose the right one. Here’s the recipe:

Half fill a mason jar with dried herbs and pour in vodka until it almost fills the container, leaving a little room for the plant to soak up some. Hermetically close the jar and let it sit for four to six weeks at room temperature, shaking it a little every day. After that time, strain the mixture and store it in a glass bottle. At the first sign of a cold, take half a spoonful three or four times a day.

Andrographis is an herb that has been used for centuries in Chinese and Indian medicine as a cold remedy and also as a preventative supplement. It can be ingested in capsules and tablets. For preventive purposes, you can ingest the plant in low or moderate doses.

Yes, that’s exactly what you read. A few years ago, a Canadian professor thought that eating boogers taken from the nose could be good for the immune system, since in this way we would be returning a small amount of germs to the body. It would be like a low-cost vaccine.

You may have found the idea rather odd, and we have to tell you that the professor later revealed that there has been no real study of booger intake as a treatment. He just wanted his students to reflect on whether the hypothesis made sense, stimulating debate on the subject. “I wanted students to think, rather than just sit and write it down,” he said.

Well, at least our attention he actually managed to attract!

There are many ways to boost the immune system. We have mentioned only a small part of them.
