Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and one of the most well-known and widely used methods to fight the common cold, flu symptoms, or simply give the immune system a leg up. Yet, there are several other ways to boost your immune system.
The Role of Sleep in Immune Health
Inadequate or poor-quality sleep is associated with a higher chance of getting sick.
In a 2015 study published in the journal Sleep, involving more than 160 healthy adults, those who slept fewer than six hours each night were more likely to catch a cold than those who slept more than six hours.
It is important to sleep even more hours when you are sick to allow your immune system to better fight off illness.
Tips to Improve Sleep Quality
- Eliminate all screen time (phones, TVs, tablets) at least one hour before bed
- Sleep in a dark room
- Go to bed at the same time every night
- Get enough daily physical activity
Nutrition and Immune System Support
A proper diet is key to maintaining a healthy immune system. While citrus fruits are high in Vitamin C, several other foods also contain antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, or essential nutrients.
Top Immune-Boosting Foods
- Almonds
- Red bell peppers
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Broccoli
- Spinach
- Yogurt
Why IV Therapy? Understanding Nutrient Bioavailability
Even with proper sleep and nutrition, your immune system may still need additional support. This is due to a concept called bioavailability — how much of a nutrient is actually absorbed and used by the body. Many nutrients from food or oral supplements are lost during digestion.
At Nova Vita Wellness Centers, IV Vitamin Infusions deliver vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream, bypassing digestion and maximizing absorption.
