What are the reasons for weak immunity?
Professor Dr. Subhash Giri, Director, Department of Medicine, RML Hospital. It is said that there can be many reasons behind weak immunity. Wrong eating habits, lack of nutrients and not getting enough sleep weaken the immune system. Constant stress and mental pressure also affects the immunity of the body.

To increase immunity, a balanced and nutritious diet is very important. Include fruits, vegetables and proteins in the diet. Drink enough water daily and make a habit of drinking lukewarm water. The body remains active with light exercise or yoga.
Getting enough sleep and staying away from stress also strengthens the immune system. It is beneficial to spend some time in the sun in winter, which provides essential nutrition to the body.
