As we go about our daily lives, we are exposed to a number of different germs and bacteria. Because of this exposure, our immune systems must work hard to keep us healthy and free of harmful foreign pathogens. When living in our Lady Lake apartment community, residents can do many things to prevent germ contamination, including frequent hand washing, disinfecting countertops, and regular cleaning. Additionally, there are several vitamins and minerals that can be included in our residents’ daily diets that are believed to help naturally boost immune systems and keep them as strong as possible.
Always consult a doctor before making radical changes to your diet, but once your doctor approves, some common vitamins and minerals to try that might naturally boost your immune system include:
- Vitamin D, which can be obtained from adequate, not excessive, exposure to the sun
- Echinacea
- Vitamin C, commonly found in citrus fruit
- Garlic
- Zinc, found in oysters, wheat, chocolate, nuts, and red meat
Also, getting at least eight hours of sleep each night makes for a terrific way to support your immune system. If you would like to find out more information about our Lady Lake apartment community, please give us a call or stop by our leasing office today for a personal tour of the community.
