Staying Healthy During the Pandemic: Tips from Bellevue Hospital Center

Ways to Boost Your Immune System

As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, it's more important than ever to prioritize our health and well-being. One of the most effective ways to do this is by boosting your immune system. This can be achieved through a combination of healthy habits, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and sufficient sleep.

In addition to these lifestyle changes, there are several supplements that have been shown to support immune function. These include vitamin C, zinc, and probiotics. It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider before adding any new supplements to your routine.

Practicing Good Hygiene

Good hygiene practices are crucial in preventing the spread of illness. This includes washing your hands frequently throughout the day, especially after using the bathroom and before eating.

It's also important to avoid touching your face, as this can transfer germs from your hands to your eyes, nose, and mouth. Make sure to cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and dispose of tissues properly.

Staying Informed and Connected

It's essential to stay informed about the latest developments regarding COVID-19. This includes following reputable news sources and health organizations for updates on the virus.

Additionally, staying connected with friends and family through video calls or messaging apps can help reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness.
