Western diet (a lot of meat, pizza, white rice, pasta, fries, eggs, white bread, pancakes, and few vegetables and fruits) causes inflammation, traditional African food (plenty of vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, and fermented foods) protects.

Some people think of #sleep as a #luxury they have to do without, in order to get everything finished, but getting #adequatesleep allows the #ImmuneSystem to perform properly, and this can give you #moreenergy. During sleep, the body releases #Proteins called #cytokines. These #antiinflammatory chemicals become more abundant when there’s an #infection. Getting enough #slowwavesleep regularly allows your body’s natural #immuneresponse to evolve and build-up its long-term #immunological #memory.

Getting up and #exercising once a day for an hour is great, but if you spend the rest of your day sitting, those benefits decrease. Being #sedentary for hours, whether it's during the long #commute or at a desk, can impact how well the #immunesystem works, leaving you prone to #inflammation. Increasing #physical activity during the day improves #circulation and enhances #immunefunction. Simple activities such as #standing during #phonecalls and taking a #walk and #lunch can make a difference.
