Tips to boost immune system

Advice to boost immune system 

You need to make your body strong and boost your immune system to prevent the infection from recurring and to return to your usual good health. Prolonged use of antibiotics disturbs the balance of friendly bacteria in your intestinal tract. Some ways to restore that balance are:

• Taking a probiotic supplement: Probiotics contain friendly bacteria such as lactobacillus acidophilus which maintain the intestinal flora and prevent disease in the intestinal tract.
  
  
  Alternatively you can eat lots of yogurt. Yoghurt also contains calcium which is also good for you.
• Taking a Vitamin supplement: Vitamin C is needed by the body to fight against infections. Some studies show that Vitamin C does reduce the duration and frequency of certain kinds of infections and is also thought to boost immunity. Some anti-tuberculosis medications deplete the levels of pyridoxine ( Vitamin B6) in the body, so replenishing it may be good for you  
• Taking a silica supplement: Some TB patients show loss of silica in their bones. To replenish take a tablespoon of horsetail juice every day.
• Taking a garlic supplement: Garlic is a good antibacterial agent and will help in long term relief and prevention of recurrence.  Garlic also promotes intestinal health.

In addition getting lots of fresh fruit and vegetables as part of your diet, exercising moderately and getting a lot of fresh air will help boost overall immunity and health.
