Easy Ways to Support Your Immune Health

A healthy immune system does wonders for your energy and mood. But achieving better immune health isn’t always straightforward. At Motus Integrative Health, we provide numerous services that help you make wiser choices. Here are a few ways you can improve your immune health with the help of our team. 

Get the Right Nutrients

Many doctors believe that the gut is tied to the immune system. Eating the right foods can mean the difference between a healthy immune system and one that’s less-than-optimal. Every day, try to consume a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, protein, and carbs. A colorful diet is one that’s filled with nutrients and vitamins, which contribute to a healthy immune system. In particular, vitamins C and D are known for their immune-boosting benefits. 

Despite how important a healthy diet is, it’s not always easy to get the right amounts. This is especially true for vitamin D, as many adults have a deficiency in this nutrient. In today’s world, most of us have busy lives, so fresh food isn’t always an option. As you take small steps to improve your diet, consider short-term alternatives as well. IV nutrition is becoming recognized for its many health benefits. With the help of our physicians, you get your daily nutrients directly administered through an IV into your bloodstream. If you struggle to get the nutrients you need through food, talk to our physicians about this convenient option. 

Take Time for Physical Activity

A strong immune response starts with a strong body. Regular physical activity is known to support a healthy immune system. Some studies suggest that physical activity affects white blood cells. Additionally, exercise reduces stress, which is known to suppress the immune response. 

If you’ve been inactive, slowly work your way to daily exercise. Pay attention to your body: if you notice any pain or discomfort, our chiropractors can help. A chiropractic adjustment boosts joint mobility and reduces pain, so you can get up and exercise without a problem. 

Focus on Mental Health

In recent years, more attention has been given to the importance of mental health, and for good reason. It’s not always possible to eliminate stress from your life, so find healthy ways to manage it. After all, stress has a profound effect on our bodies. Long-term stress is known to cause chronic headaches, muscle tension, and even impact the immune system.
