7 Tips to Maintain Body Immunity during the New Normal, Stay Healthy in 2021

Maintaining body immunity is a must in the new normal. The year 2020 may be over, and in the new year, we all hope the pandemic will end soon. The antivirus has arrived in Indonesia, but the process the government is undertaking to distribute the antivirus to the public certainly takes time.

Moving towards a new normal state after the pandemic makes us all cautious in our actions, right? We don't want to get sick, not even a mild flu, because we always feel paranoid.

Well, friends, you need to pay attention to the following 7 tips for maintaining body immunity during the new normal so that all activities run smoothly in 2021. Some even emerged due to new habits during the pandemic. Let's take a look!

Regular Exercise

Engaging in small exercise activities, such as running, walking, cycling, or even yoga at home, seems to have become a new habit during the pandemic, right? We have indeed become more attentive to our body's stamina while staying at home.

Now, as the pandemic begins to improve and the new normal phase is explored, don't abandon the habit of exercising, friends. Keep it up even if it's just for 10—15 minutes. Because exercise will help maintain smooth blood circulation.

Maintain Food Menu

The next tip for maintaining body immunity during the new normal is to pay attention to the food menu that we will consume.

Increase your intake of vegetables and fruits. Don't make it a habit to consume junk food. It may taste better and be more practical, but junk food is not good for the body as it can disrupt throat and digestive functions.

Don't Dehydrate

Consuming plain water is an important thing to do to keep body immunity intact. Drinking plain water can even lower a fever because it helps detoxify the body.

So, during the new normal, the habit of drinking plain water must be maintained and even increased! Especially when feeling unwell or having a dry throat, make sure to drink water. Don't let your body feel dehydrated.

Vitamin Intake is a Must

Don't wait until you feel unwell to take vitamins, friends. If necessary, set a regular schedule for light vitamins, such as vitamin C. Because vitamins will help the body function well even when bacteria or viruses try to enter.

Vitamins don't only come in tablet form; they can also be consumed as drinks with guaranteed vitamin content. Vitamins from natural sources like fruits and vegetables are also much better.

Don't Skip Hand Washing

Washing hands may be the most tedious thing to do, especially multiple times a day. However, washing hands with soap is the most effective way as a tip for maintaining body immunity during the new normal.

Don't always rely on hand sanitizer, friends, because washing hands with running water and soap is more effective at killing bacteria or viruses.

Don't Forget the Mask

Wearing makeup and still having to wear a mask is indeed the most annoying thing. Some people don't want to wear masks because they fog up their glasses and make it hard to breathe.

However, masks are very useful, friends, in preventing the spread of viruses from one person to another. So, even in the new normal era, wearing a mask is a must. And, don't forget to keep yourself away from crowds. Maintaining distance is important.

Get Enough Rest

Of all the tips for maintaining body immunity during the new normal above, this is the most essential: getting enough rest. Let your body breathe from routines. Sleeping or just lying down is what makes the body relax.

Don't push yourself with too many activities without stopping. When it's time to sleep, rest. Balance your time well between working, doing hobbies, and resting, friends.

Those are the seven habits that you should adopt as tips for maintaining body immunity during the new normal. Stay healthy and happy! There are many things to achieve in 2021, so don't let yourself fall!
