Most Common Ways People Try To Support Their Immune Systems
Intermittent fasting, have you tried it?
A new poll suggests that people will go to great lengths to maintain a healthy immune system.
Immune-boosting hacks include having more sex, listening to uplifting music, taking vitamin D, fasting, and gargling salt water.
And nearly one in 20 (four percent) have even tried colonic irrigation – the practice of injecting water via the anus to flush out toxins from the colon.
It also emerged 27 percent are open to trying more ‘extreme’ steps to improve immunity, such as having IV vitamin infusions, but 52 percent aren’t convinced ‘alternative’ methods like these work.
Instead, 70 percent believe adopting little daily habits could be a more sustainable and effective way to support their immune system.
