Are you aware of the fact that the immune System is our body`s natural defence mechanism against infections and diseases?
It must be noted that every day habits can weaken our immune system to a huge extent. A person would have a weakened immune system if he or she doesn`t sleep well during the nights or over dependency on medicines especially antibiotics etc.
Our immunity would become weak due to these daily bad habits, please take care.
Not getting enough sleep:
For the sake of immune regulation, it is highly essential to sleep well. It has been brought out that adults require 6 to 7 hours of sleep. Infection fighting cytokines production would get lowered due to poor sleep in the night. We would be more prone to infections like cold, flu etc.
Excess intake of sugary and processed foods:
There are possibilities of getting chronic inflammations by consuming excess amounts of sugary foods and processed foods etc. It has been confirmed by a research study published in `The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition` that 100 grams of sugar significantly reduces our immune response up to 5 hours.
Sedentary lifestyle:
We could become obese and have poor blood circulation if we follow a sedentary lifestyle or lack of physical activity. Point is that 150minutes of moderate physical activity would stimulate immune cell circulation and lower inflammation.
High stress levels:
Our cortisol levels would increase due to chronic stress in us. It is true that this would suppress immune system function over time. Truth is that stress would also affect our sleep, digestion and hormone regulation etc. It is believed that practising mindfulness, yoga and breathing exercises etc would help in maintaining our mental health.
Excessive antibiotics use:
Our immune health would depend on gut health. It is worth noting that disturbance in gut microbiota by excessive intake of antibiotics would weaken our immune system. Hence, it is essential that we must consume antibiotics in a restricted amount and often.
Poor hydration habits:
Lymph is a fluid that carries the immune cells throughout our body. Dehydration or water intake would result in productionon of lymph. It is essential to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water throughout the day.
Smoking and alcohol intake:
Our immune system would become weak if we smoke or consume alcohol. This is due to the release of toxins in us. It has been warned by CDC or Centre for Diseases Control that smokers and drinkers are more susceptible to respiratory infections and slow recovery etc. Please be careful and try to quit these habits.
Not eating fruits and vegetables etc:
For the sake of immunity or good immune system, vitamins like A, C and zinc etc play a huge role. When a person doesn`t eat whole fruits and vegetables etc then he or she would not get these important nutrients. Therefore, it is a must to consume citrus fruits, bell peppers, seeds etc.

Do you love eating foods like sausages, bacon, red meat etc, then please be careful!!
Point is that eating these above said foods might increase the heart based issues.
Whether it is unhealthy lifestyle or poor food habits or stress, the fact is that these are the leading factors for poor cardiac health in us. It has been confirmed by research studies that unhealthy eating habits can raise bad cholesterol levels or LDL in us causing weak heart health.
The heart doctors have mentioned that making changes in the diet by means of heart enriching foods would help us to lower bad cholesterol or LDL in a natural manner.
These food alternatives would help us to lower our bad cholesterol levels and improve our heart health naturally. These are
Replacing saturated fats with healthy fats:
Bad cholesterol would increase in our blood if we consume saturated fats present in animal foods like red meat, butter, cheese etc. It is increased to replace saturated fats with healthy fats. Olive or avocado oil can be used for cooking as these oils are rich in heart healthy mono-saturated fatty acids. Instead of red meat it would be good to consume beans, lentils etc.
Replacing refined carbs with whole grains:
We could gain weight easily plus have higher cholesterol levels if we consume refined carbs like bread, pasta, and sugary cereals etc. Rich in fiber, whole grains can lower our bad cholesterol levels and by this our heart health would get boosted. Instead of white bread it is good to consume whole wheat bread or whole grain bread etc. In the same way, it would be good to opt for brown rice instead of white rice having rich fibre content etc. Consuming oats would also be superb as oats are full of fibres and our bad cholesterol would get lowered.
Replacing processed meats with plant based protein foods:
Unhealthy fats and sodium are present in excess in non-vegetarian foods like hot dogs, bacon, sausages etc. Eating these would increase bad cholesterol levels in us. Truth is that by replacing animal based proteins with plant based proteins our bad cholesterol levels would lower and heart health would get better. It would be better to eat plant based protein foods like chickpeas, lentils etc
Replacing fried foods with baked/grilled foods:
Our bad cholesterol levels would increase and we could get heart issues when we eat fried foods s with unhealthy fats and calories etc in them. It would be good to bake or grill instead of frying. It would be good to eat baked or grilled chicken instead of fried chicken.
Replacing sugary foods with fresh fruits etc:
It is worth mentioning here that sugary foods like desserts, cakes, cookies etc have added sugars and unhealthy fats in them. Consuming these foods would increase bad cholesterol in us. Replacing sugary foods with fresh fruits, nuts etc would improve our heart health. It would be good to eat unsalted almonds, walnuts etc instead of sugary candies or chocolates etc.
