Detailing recommendations that strengthen the immune system, respectively, Dr. Saçaklı said: “First of all, we will stay away from contact. We will put 1-2 meters distance from people, we will not shake hands and kiss. We will clean our hands with cleaners containing more than 60 percent alcohol. These classic known measures. Here, we have to keep our immune system very strong for viruses, bacteria or any disease. Even in earthquakes, if the building is intact, there is no collapse. But if the building is rotten, we face death. We have five very important points to keep our immune system strong. We will have a natural and balanced diet. Two, we will stay away from the high intensity exercises, that is, the exercises for sports. Three, we will learn how to control stress, albeit a little. We will save ourselves from panic. Panic collapses the immune system. Four, we will sleep well and quality. We will go to bed at the right time. The last one is the diaphragm breath. We will breathe 10 times with fresh air every morning and evening.”

SPECIAL RECIPES TO STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Referring to the importance of natural and balanced nutrition, Saçaklı also shared special recipes that strengthen the immune system. Saçaklı said: “When you get up every morning, make a mixture of turmeric, extra virgin olive oil, nigella and very little pepper. Let's put a teaspoon of powdered turmeric, ½ teaspoon of nigella, 1 teaspoon of it in a dessert, and a little black pepper and drink this mixture for healing purposes. Between breakfast. This will strengthen our immune system. The advantage of olive oil and black pepper is that turmeric is difficult to absorb from the intestines, so it is easy to absorb with olive oil and black pepper. As herbal tea, let them boil two rosehips, two black peppercorns, two pieces of ginger, hibiscus, echinacea and lime for 1-2 minutes in order to strengthen our immune system in 1 liter of water. Let them turn off the fire, let it brew for 3-4 minutes and drink it one after another in the snacks. Another alternative recipe is the combination of carrot and pumpkin seeds. Let them combine carrot and pumpkin seeds in between meals. Half a cup of carrot juice and a handful of pumpkin seeds are unsalted. It is a very good source of antioxidants when the two are combined. Also, they should prefer green tea instead of black tea. Onions and garlic strengthen our immune system. Put garlic in yogurt in the evening.” Saçaklı also recommended consuming cautious greens, paying attention to cooking methods, and staying as far away from industry foods as packaged foods.

Saçaklı has listed the other recommendations to sustain and strengthen the immune system as follows:

“SEVERE SPORTS AND EXERCISE SHOULD BE GIVEN THE INTERIM”

“People should stay away from activities that are high and are geared towards sports. Better not to run: people should walk 3 or 5 days a week for a certain period of time. But instead of walking along the gulf and breathe fresh air, people face breathing carbon monoxides from the cars. Better try to walk in a green environment without a car. In sports, do not go under big weights. We warn young people, our muscles do not melt so quickly by the way. Work with smaller weights.”

“SLEEP BETWEEN 22.00-03.00 PROVIDES YOUR BODY'S REGENERATION”

“People need to sleep at the right time and get up at the right time, we should go to bed between 22.00-24.00 and get up at 05.00-07.00. Our genetic code has been adjusted this accordingly. All the maintenance and repair of our body is done between 22.00-03.00. If you stay on the internet until 1 to 2, your immune system will collapse and the body cannot renew itself. Put the head of the bed in the north and west part, we cannot sleep well and of good qualify in the south and east side. Mobile phones should not be charged in places where they sleep. Magnetic things break our immune system.”

“THE RIGHT WAY TO BREATHE IS DIAPHRAGM”

“Diaphragmatic breathing is very important. Babies normally breathe from the diaphragm, but that habit changes over time, and we always start breathing through the chest. First, we fill the stomach with air, push that air to the chest, feel it in the throat, gently hold the breath, it takes in 4 seconds for 2 seconds, and distribute oxygen to all cells. While slowly exhaling, the abdomen gets smaller and we pull the abdomen inside. Open the window every morning when wake up and take a diaphragmatic breath ten times. Likewise, it should be done before going to bed. We have almost 10 trillion cells. 10-15 million cells die per day. They have the chance to remove the cells that die from this breathing by lymph circulation. They will keep the immune system strong this way.”

“STRESS AND PANIC CAUSES DAMAGES IN IMMUNE SYSTEM”

“Do not stress or panic. All kinds of panic cause the immune system to collapse. If we get a lot of stress and panic, our system will be in danger. Regardless of whichever virus and bacteria, if we stick to these rules and we can keep our immune system strong, we can be affected, but we will never face death.”
