For many people exams are wrapping up and summer holidays are just around the corner, but do you still feel like you’re managing burnout from all the hard work you put in? One of the best ways to improve your overall well-being is to focus on your immune health. Encouraging yourself to take better care of your immune health will likely lead to less burnout, avoiding excessive infections and a more stable sense of emotional wellbeing. That being said, we’ve come up with some of our favourite ways to improve your immune health and wellbeing.
3 Ways To Improve Immunity
- Take a break from alcohol: with the festive season approaching, it’s easy to lose track of how much alcohol your intaking in-between family lunches and work dinners. But alcohol can impact your immune health greatly if consumed in excess. You might be surprised to know that approximately 5-6 drinks is considered excessive by medical professionals. So don’t try and go cold turkey this holiday season if you don’t want to, but try swapping out every other alcoholic beverage for its virgin substitute and enjoy experimenting with alcohol-free cocktails.
- Don’t take on more than you can manage: we’ve all been guilty of letting pride get in the way of us turning down job opportunities, social events and elective subjects at uni or school. Even though your mind might be excited by all the great things you could accomplish, try to see how those plans will actually fall into the rest of your week, month and year. It always feels terrible having to drop something you love doing out of exhaustion, so try and narrow down your workload to a handful of important things you know you’ll be able to put your all into.
- Eating well: shouldn’t be dismissed no matter how many times we all hear it, it feels like it goes in one ear and out the other. But the impact of eating a well-balanced diet that supports your body’s needs to function at 100% is one of the best things you can do for your immune health and general wellbeing. Stay committed to eating nutrient rich foods and ensuring you're taking any vitamins on time (discuss any changes to diet with a medical professional prior) because consistency is key. Stay on track and you’ll feel the difference before you know it.
