After a complete year, people are struggling with the dreaded virus and trying hard to keep their immunity intact. Government using its last resort to break the chain of viruses and put a lockdown on some places.

Here are four pillars, sticking, on them you can remain fit and healthy and also keep your immunity strong. Let’s see these four pillars-
1.Exercise,

1. Exercise help to build your immunity-

Regular exercise reduces your susceptibility to viral infections.
It boosts your immune system which is our body’s first line of defense against infections.

These neutrophils detect an invader. They squeeze themselves out and through chemotaxes engulf the pathogen.

Exercise is a good way to counter these effects. Neutrophils of elder people who walked at least 10000 steps a day were effective as those of young people.

T-cells is also playing a major role in detecting.

You can opt for doing yoga, Aerobic exercise, you can learn also by watching the video, and your long sitting on the sofa.

They should sit in sunlight for at least 15–30 minutes daily in the morning. Sunlight is very helpful for them. If you can’t take you should boost your intake by eating vitamin D-rich foods like eggs, mushrooms, cheddar cheese oily fish or take supplements.

Inadequate and irregular sleep contribute to low-level inflammation which is harmful to health in the longer term.

You strengthen your circadian rhythm and improve your sleep by sitting near a sunny window otherwise in brighter light your circadian rhythms shift on the opposite side making it harder to fall asleep.
