The quest for a healthy and long life has always been a subject of interest. Toshio Akitsu, a certified specialist in comprehensive internal medicine recognized by the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine, asserts that small habits can have a big influence on one’s future.

1. Eat a Mixed Diet to Boost Immunity

Mr. Akitsu explained that consuming a variety of foods in small quantities ensures a balanced nutritional intake and minimizes the potential risk of ingesting carcinogens. Since the intake is limited, it is unlikely to pose a problem even if certain foods contain carcinogenic substances.
The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health points out that no single food can directly influence the immune system. Each phase of the body’s immune response relies on a range of micronutrients found in various animal and plant sources.
