Ensure adequate sleep, as research shows that long-term lack of \nsleep will worsen the immunity. Adults normally need approximately 7 to 8\n hours of sleep per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Ensure a harmonious mood, as a bad mood will not only reduce the immunity, but can also disrupt diet and sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Maintain sound living habits, quit smoking and reduce alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The practice of Qigong is a good way for us to boost vitality, improve vital life functions and promote our health.
