Here are things to do when you wake up to have a healthy immune system.

1. Breakfast rich in fiber and protein

Protein provides the amino acids your body needs to produce antibodies, repair immune cells and help fight infection, says nutritionist Pam Hartnett.

Prebiotic fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria and helps boost the immune system.

2. Add probiotic foods to breakfast

Probiotics help maintain a balanced gut microflora and boost immunity. About 70% to 80% of immune cells are located in the gut. There, these beneficial bacteria work to strengthen immune defenses and help reduce inflammation.

3. Drink a glass of water

Water plays an important role in keeping your body's systems functioning properly, including your immune system, says nutritionist Toby Amidor, so drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up.

4. Sunbathing

Early morning sunlight exposure has a positive impact on the immune system, says nutritionist Pam Hartnett. Natural sunlight helps regulate circadian rhythms, promotes deep sleep, and keeps the immune system healthy.

5. Exercise

Exercise increases blood flow to the muscles in the digestive system, which helps reduce inflammation and helps immune cells regenerate regularly, says nutritionist Toby Amidor.
