Tired of being sick? Have a good sleep!

The human body is one of the most resilient machines ever created. Our immune systems run on autopilot, protecting us from a constant barrage of foreign, microscopic invaders. But as incredible as the immune system is, it’s not perfect. We all get sick from time to time — some of us chronically.

Following are the ways to protect your immune system so it can continue protecting you. Most guides stress the importance of:

· Regular exercise. Improved blood circulation can provide a solid baseline for overall health.

· Basic hygiene. Regular washing (especially of the hands) helps to limit your exposure to germs and bacteria.

· Proper diet. There are even “wonder” foods that reportedly boost the immune system.

· Restful sleep.

· Drug avoidance. Prolonged exposure to alcohol, cigarettes and narcotics puts you at a much greater risk of contracting any number of diseases — some of them fatal.

The better you take care of your physical body, the more immune you’ll be to disease, but new scientific research offers compelling evidence that the mind plays an equally (if not more) powerful role in keeping you healthy.

Blending psychology, immunology, physiology, infectious diseases, neuroscience and endocrinology, a new branch of science known as psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) has yielded some remarkable findings. Among them: Those with a positive mental outlook are less likely to get sick and more likely to recover from illness, failure and stress.
