Immunity plays a crucial role in preventing cancer and enhancing overall health, a point often emphasized in various studies that show how immune cells help fight cancer.
Recently, YouTuber Raj Shamani had a conversation with Dr. Tarang Krishna, a cancer specialist and MD at Cancer Healer Centre, where they discussed cancer symptoms, treatments, common myths, and recommended diets for maintaining health and reducing cancer risk.
During the discussion, Raj asked Dr. Krishna for tips on boosting his immune system to significantly lower his chances of getting cancer. Dr. Krishna shared that by following the six-letter rule 'MEDSRX', cancer would never be able to affect him.
How to boost your immune system?
Per Dr Krishna, MEDSRX stands for –
M: Meditation
E: Exercise
D: Diet
S: Sleep
R: Relationship
X: X-factor
MEDSRX explained
Dr Krishna explained in the video that to boost immunity you should prioritise taking care of your mental health. He suggested doing any type of meditation every day. As for exercise, he suggested picking one form of exercise that suits you and doing it diligently every day. He suggested picking from anything between yoga, hitting the gym to exercise, doing pranayama or anulom vilom, going on walks or brisk walks, or doing 10k steps daily.
Explaining why diet is important, Dr Krishna said eating ‘good and clean food’ can help boost your immunity. He suggested eating vegetarian food preferably. However, if you are non-vegetarian, stick to chicken and fish, ‘only white meat, no red meat’.
Sleep, too, is essential to build your immune system. “Sleep as well as possible, even if you are sleeping for 6 hours. Though, it should be 8 hours ideally. Always go to sleep at 10 pm and then wait up at 4,5 or 6; that is up to you,” Dr Krishna said.
Explaining R, which stands for relationships in MEDSRX, Dr Krishna said that there is no point in doing all the steps mentioned above or taking care of your body if your relationships are not strong enough. So, keep your loved ones close.
Lastly, X is that X-factor, which means continuing to do the things that you truly enjoy taking part in.
