PUBLIC is being shocked by the spread of the Hanta virus that occurred on the MV Hondius cruise ship. The virus infection caused 3 passengers to die.

This phenomenon immediately caused a stir among the public. The Indonesian Ministry of Health has also taken precautions to anticipate the virus entering Indonesia.

In the midst of the spread of the virus, maintaining the body’s resistance or immunity is an important step to protect oneself from various viral infections. A strong immune system helps the body recognize and fight pathogens more effectively.

Here are 5 ways you can maintain your immune system to prevent viral infections:

1. Consume balanced nutritious food

Adequate nutritional intake plays a very important role in maintaining the immune system. Increase your consumption of fruit and vegetables which are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A and antioxidants. Protein from eggs, fish and nuts is also important for repairing body tissue and forming antibodies.

2. Exercise regularly

Physical activity such as walking, cycling or light exercise can improve blood circulation and help immune cells work more optimally. No need for heavy exercise, just 30 minutes every day will provide great health benefits.
