The rise in infections and diseases has put a central focus on all&nbsp;things 'immunity.' People are trying to eat better and&nbsp;there is a special emphasis on immunity-boosting diets.&nbsp;And when it comes to foods that protect our body from diseases, ginger is the first one that comes to mind. A spice known for its medicinal&nbsp;properties, ginger is used in everything from masala&nbsp;chai to&nbsp;yummy curries.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While there&rsquo;s no denying the power of ginger, did you know that excessive use of ginger can also have some negative side effects on your health?
Here&rsquo;s why you need to be mindful about not overdoing the spice:&nbsp;
STOMACH TROUBLE&nbsp;
You&rsquo;re adding ginger to your&nbsp;kaadha, having it in your ginger tea many times a day in an effort to boost your immune defences. On top of it, ginger is also being used in cooking vegetables, lentils, pickles and chutneys.&nbsp;But using ginger in everything and consuming it&nbsp;multiple times a day in the summer can upset your stomach and cause&nbsp;diarrhoea. So maybe reign it in a bit!
HEARTBURN&nbsp;&nbsp;
Eating a balanced amount of ginger is beneficial, but if you use it excessively, then there may be a complaint of a burning sensation in your chest, especially during the hot summer months.&nbsp;
BLOOD PRESSURE&nbsp;&nbsp;
People who are taking blood pressure medication are generally advised to avoid ginger.&nbsp;It is said&nbsp;that heavy consumption of ginger&nbsp;may&nbsp;aggravate heart conditions and can lead to irregularities in the heartbeat.&nbsp;
PREGNANCY COMPLICATIONS&nbsp;
For pregnant women, consuming more than 1,500 mg of ginger every day can increase the risk of miscarriage. Pregnant women must consult a doctor before using ginger during pregnancy.&nbsp;
HEAVIER PERIODS&nbsp;&nbsp;
The ginger root is naturally hot and in the summer it can dilute the blood. If you overeat ginger during your periods, you might face a heavier and longer blood flow. This is why it is important to avoid ginger if you&rsquo;re in a lot of pain while menstruating.
If you're wondering how much ginger is too much, experts suggest consuming a maximum of 3&ndash;4 grams of raw ginger per day.&nbsp;If you're pregnant or have significant medical conditions, it would be best to consult your doctor about your required dosage.&nbsp;

Be careful about overusing the immunity superfood ginger!

Not just your mind, a good meditation practice can strengthen your immune system as well!

Want to strengthen your immune system? Give meditation a shot!

Not just your mind,&nbsp;a&nbsp;good&nbsp;meditation practice can strengthen your immune system as well!

We all know that meditation is a great way to relieve stress and&nbsp;relax your mind.&nbsp;But did you know that&nbsp;a&nbsp;meditation practice can strengthen your immune system as well!&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to the findings of a new large-scale genomic study,&nbsp;eight days of silence with 10 hours of meditation&nbsp;daily&nbsp;causes robust activation of the immune system.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The first-of-its-kind study on the biological impact of meditation included 106 volunteers aged 40 years on average and was published&nbsp;in the&nbsp;journal PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Blood samples taken before and after the retreat showed that post-meditation there was increased activity in&nbsp;220 genes directly related to the immune response.
The team explained that their findings prove that the immune system can be voluntarily influenced by nonpharmaceutical interventions like yoga and meditation.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With more than 14 months into the Covid-19 pandemic, lockdown restrictions, practicing measures of cleanliness and physical distancing have become a part and parcel of life. But along the way, there&rsquo;s been some speculation about vigilant hygiene measures, like wearing masks, regular washing of hands, and using sanitizers, leading to a weaker immune system.
People have often correlated resistance to allergies like hay fever and eczema with constant natural exposure to microbes. This process is known as the &ldquo;Hygiene Hypothesis.&rdquo; It is a belief that kids who are exposed to more viruses, bacteria and other microbes early in life go on to build stronger immune systems.&nbsp;
Allergist and immunologist at Cleveland clinic, James Fernandez observed that there isn&rsquo;t strong scientific evidence to suggest that temporarily stepping up your cleaning game can pose any danger to your immune health. He further added that &ldquo;This idea comes from observations that some developing countries where kids might be exposed to more pathogens tend to have lower rates of certain diseases such as allergies and asthma&rdquo;.
Clinical scientists at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences are conducting research to look at whether lockdown restrictions and increased cleanliness measures will make allergic conditions more common and severe amongst adults in general and children in particular.
But, with the current spread of respiratory viruses that cause Covid-19, which do not have a defined line of treatment, preventing them with good hygiene habits is important.

Can obsessive hygiene and cleanliness make our immune systems weak?

As the world continues to fight the Covid-19 pandemic, doctors have urged Lupus patients to stay cautious as they are at a higher risk of catching the infection.
Lupus is a long-term autoimmune disorder that affects multiple organs of the body. The immune system, instead of protecting gets hyperactive and begins to attack the healthy tissues, leading to severe fatigue.
The symptoms can vary from mild to severe or even life-threatening. Some of the symptoms include inflammation, recurrent mouth ulcers, and skin rash. It can also cause damage to the joints, kidneys, heart, and lungs. Due to the complex nature of the symptoms, lupus is often known as the &ldquo;disease of 1,000 faces&rdquo;.
Lupus itself and the immune-suppressing medications&nbsp;can increase the risk for severe COVID-19 infections and complications, says&nbsp;Jeffrey R. Curtis,&nbsp;Chair of the&nbsp;American College of Rheumatology (ACR) COVID-19 Vaccine Clinical Guidance Task Force. People with compromised immune systems must watch out for Covid-19 symptoms like&nbsp;fever, difficulty in breathing, dry cough, fatigue, and chest discomfort.
&nbsp;According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is important that lupus patients stay at home and avoid nonessential travel.&nbsp;They are also advised&nbsp;to take plenty of rest, stay hydrated and avoid public spaces. Regular exercise, physiotherapy, yoga, meditation, and relaxation therapies can also help feel better.

If you&rsquo;ve been trying to eat up to strengthen your immune system, here&rsquo;s one thing that you would probably benefit&nbsp;more&nbsp;by eating less.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Researchers have found that the amount of salt you eat can impact your immunity.&nbsp;Publishing&nbsp;in the journal&nbsp;Circulation, the team found that a high intake of salt can disrupt&nbsp;mitochondrial respiration and suppress immunity.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sodium can accumulate at inflammation sites in the body and affect the functioning of innate and adaptive immune cells, found the team.&nbsp;So, the less you reach for the salt shaker, the better it is for your health. In fact, salt also raises blood pressure and thereby increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.&nbsp;
So how much is too much? According to researchers from the study, &lsquo;adults are recommended to limit their daily intake to five or six grams at most. The calculation includes the salt that is hidden in processed foods.&rsquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;
