YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Your immune system depends on your lifestyle and diet. This means that what you consume and the way you live your life affect the resilience of your immune system. We always recommend that the main source of nutrition should come from your diet, but in addition, there are several factors that you need to be aware of if you are to maintain a healthy and resilient body.

5 GREAT ADVISE:

1.  EAT real food, lots of greens and organic! 
Especially leafy green vegetables and colorful vegetables and fruits. They are rich in vitamin C, which supports a healthy and well-functioning immune system. In addition, a healthy and fibrous diet contributes to a normal body weight, which is also recommended to maintain when it comes to the body's resilience (ref.).

2. Stay active! 
Research has shown that regular exercise can help maintain a healthy number of young T lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) as we get older. In addition, the T cells are pumped around the system when the blood circulation is increased, which is why the immune system is further activated (ref.).

3. Respect your need for sleep!
When you sleep, your body undergoes a number of important processes such as cleansing of your brain, as well as organs and regeneration of the body's muscles etc. It is therefore important that you respect your body's need for sleep to give it optimal conditions to function. It is generally recommended that you get 7-9 hours each night (ref.).

4.  Stress down!
Stress for extended periods of time can affect the effectiveness of your immune system. When you are stressed, you secrete stress hormones and these affect the body's immune cells. Stress is not necessarily a bad thing for short periods where you need to focus or concentrate. However, stress over extended periods (months) can be harmful and must be taken seriously  (ref.)

5. Support your diet with the right supplements!
Few people manage to eat a perfectly balanced diet - and there are some nutrients that are difficult to eat. It takes a lot of discipline - do you get your 600 g of organic greens a day? This is where supplements can support your lifestyle. They can act as a safety net for you to get the right amounts of micronutrients you need on a daily basis. Below you can see which supplements we recommend to support the immune system. (ref.)

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is probably the most explored vitamin of all time - and the most commonly known. Humans are not able to produce vitamin C themselves - which is why we need to get it through our diet. Vitamin C is naturally found in vegetables and fruits such as; dark green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, red pepper and kiwi.

Vitamin C contributes to a well-functioning immune system, which is why this dietary supplement is relevant in connection with our current everyday life, where we need to take extra good care of ourselves.

 

 

VITAMIN D3

Vitamin D contributes, among other things, to the function of the immune system - especially the function of T and B cells, which are essential immune cells (ref.). Vitamin D is tricky to get through your diet - and the main source of vitamin D is through the sun. Low levels of vitamin D are unfortunately very common - especially in the Nordic countries, where there is limited access to the sun half of the year. In addition, many of us spend a lot of our time indoors, on daily basis, as we work at offices and use cars / public transport to get to work. It is estimated that around 1 billion people worldwide are low on vitamin D, which is why it is also taken seriously by various international health authorities (ref.).
