10 Tips Hebat untuk Meningkatkan Sistem Pertahanan Tubuh Anda

•	Don’t smoke. In addition to what you already know about the hazards of tobacco smoking, it also wreaks havoc on virtually every aspect of immune function.
•	Avoid toxins. Reduce exposure by choosing organic produce, washing fruits and vegetables to remove pesticide residues, and by using household cleaners and personal care products that are made with less toxic materials.
•	Get adequate sleep. Poor sleep is associated with lower immune system function and reduced numbers of killer cells that fight germs.
•	Reduce stress. There is compelling scientific evidence that chronic stress causes a measurable decline in the immune system's ability to fight disease.
•	Be optimistic. Studies show that pessimists, who tend to find fault with everything, don't live as long as optimists, who have a more cheerful outlook. If you’re content with whom you are and with your life, you’ll also have less stress, and therefore fewer immune health consequences.
•	Exercise regularly. Studies show the dangers to immune health of a sedentary lifestyle. One study compared inactive people with those who walked briskly almost every day. Researchers found that those who didn't walk took twice as many sick days in four months as those who walked.
•	Stay connected. Humans crave social contact, and studies have shown that the fewer human connections we have at home, at work, and in the community, the more likely we are to get sick, flood our brains with anxiety-causing chemicals, and die prematurely. One study found that people who are isolated may live only half as long as those who have a lot of human contact. Love appears to nourish the immune system, so spread the love!
•	Eat a sensible, healthy diet. Excess fat can suppress the immune system, and too much sugar can inhibit the action of phagocytes, the “Pac-Man”-like blood cells that gobble up viruses and bacteria.
•	Don’t overuse antibiotics, especially for viral infections (such as colds or flu) where they have no effect. Cutting down on unnecessary antibiotic use will help to prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
•	Drink 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi™ every day!
