Why Immunity Matters

In today’s fast-paced world, your immune system is your first line of defense. While medicines help, building natural resilience is the key to staying healthy in the long run


1. Eat More Citrus Fruits 🍊

Fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are packed with vitamin C β€” a vital nutrient known to increase the production of white blood cells.


2. Get Enough Sleep 😴

Did you know your body heals the most while you sleep? Aim for 7–8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.

Garlic isn’t just flavorful β€” it contains sulfur compounds like allicin that boost your immune system naturally.
