I boost my immunity

Author's name: Isabelle Delallo

Some people go through the year without catching a cold, while others suffer from "every illness around." The reason? It's the weakness of our natural defenses against microbes. Do you want to hear good news? We can improve our level of protection against diseases, especially winter viruses, by taking care of our health to maintain an optimal immune system.

"Immunity is our deterrent weapon against microbes! Improving nutrition, improving sleep, and moving: this is how we pamper our immune system so it stays in top shape."

In this notebook, you will find:
• Keys to understanding the mechanisms of our defense system: the roles of innate and acquired immunity, as well as microbiota, white blood cells – the warriors of our immune system – and their enemies (viruses, bacteria, etc.).
• Tips for pampering and entertaining yourself: hot drinks in winter, homemade products (gel, wet wipes, spray...), comfort supplements...
• A two-week daily program for maintaining health: nutritional advice, physical exercises, guidelines for relaxation and good sleep.
• Protective behaviors: For people in a vulnerable state or in close proximity to sick people, special, simple but strict measures to strongly confront microbes!
