In the cold season, when the incidence of ARVI and influenza increases, it is especially important to take care of the immune system. Doctors from the Bishkek Health Strengthening Center shared their recommendations for maintaining immunity—the body's natural barrier against viruses and infections.
Specialists emphasize that immunity is not only a physical state but also a reflection of the body's overall functioning. Factors such as emotional state, lifestyle, and nutrition, as well as the quality of social interactions, have a direct impact on the body's ability to resist diseases.
One of the first steps to strengthening immunity is reducing stress. Chronic physical and psycho-emotional loads can weaken the body's immune defense. It is also important to maintain active social connections: studies show that people who interact with family and friends get sick less often and cope with difficulties more easily.
Doctors recommend developing a positive approach to life, as optimism helps to better cope with both emotional and physical stress. Nutrition is equally significant: a varied diet rich in vegetables and fruits of different colors supports gut health, which plays a key role in immunity.
In winter, the body may lack vitamins and trace elements, so taking supplements may be justified, but only after consulting a doctor. Medical professionals also advise paying attention to physical activity, as it strengthens the cardiovascular system and reduces the risk of many diseases.
Doctors place special importance on quality sleep. Lack of rest is one of the main enemies of immunity, while adequate sleep helps the body recover and effectively fight infections.
Specialists emphasize that caring for the immune system should become part of the daily routine, as it is one of the most reliable investments in one's own health.
