How can EMS boost and strengthen our immune system?
Not only is EMS used as a 20-minute workout for adults of all ages and fitness abilities it also has many other benefits such as reducing (chronic) back pain, relieving inflammation and aiding the process of weight loss and increasing endurance while developing and maintaining muscle strength in men and women. Electro muscle stimulation has also been scientifically proven to increase blood flow and circulation improving recovery of muscles and the cardiovascular system while increasing blood around the body and to internal organs.
Other ways you can boost your immune system naturally.
Get enough sleep.
Sleep is not only required to give our bodies the rest it needs but also for the regeneration of our cells, tissues and blood. Adequate sleep is a truly essential function of the human body that allows us to recharge and feel more alert when we wake up. A lack of sleep can mean the brain struggles to function properly and the body struggles to fight off diseases.
Eat more whole foods.

Add healthy fats.
Including a good range of healthy fats in your diet and cooking may boost your immune response to pathogens. Fats are also helpful to lubricate the joints, especially those found in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and anchovies. Other great sources of fats include avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds and coconuts.
Exercise.
Prolonged intensive exercise can be harmful to your immune system and put unnecessary pressure on joints and tendons however moderate exercise, often can reduce inflammation and help your immune system regenerate regularly. EMS training twice per week combined with walking, biking, jogging, swimming, team sport or hiking is an ideal way to stay fit, feel better and move more.
Manage stress.
Stress and anxiety can decrease our immune health by promoting inflammation in the body as well as imbalances in immune cell function. Everyone finds relaxation in different ways but a few activities which may help are walking outdoors, meditation, exercise, yoga, mindful breathing, reading a book or having a massage.
Drink more water.
Dehydration can cause problems with your physical performance, mood, digestive system, heart, kidney and liver function in turn weaken your immune system’s response to fighting off illness. How much water you should drink would depend on your activity level, and the environment you live in but in general, you should be drinking 2 -3 litres per day of the cleanest filtered water you can.
