1. Get enough sleep. Sleep and immunity are closely tied. In fact, inadequate or poor quality sleep is linked to a higher susceptibility to sickness. 2. Eat more whole pla t foods. Whole plant foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes are rich in nutrients and antioxidants that may give us an upper hand against harmful pathogens. 3. Eat more healthy fats. Healthy fats, like those found in olive oil and salmon, may boost the body’s immune response to pathogens by decreasing inflammation. 4. Limit sugar. Emerging researchsuggests that addedsugars and refined carbs may contribute disproportionately to overweight and obesity. Obesity may likewise increase the risk of getting sick. 5.
