在这个疫情挑战时期，一个人免疫系统的强健与否至关重要。以下是来自萨古鲁的8个小贴士，帮助你自然地提高免疫力。As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads across nations, the world is grappling with containing the virus and stopping its spread. Doctors agree that people with stronger immune systems are better equipped to handle the novel coronavirus. Sadhguru shares a few ways to naturally boost immunity over time.随着新型冠状病毒肺炎疫症在各国间蔓延，全世界都在努力遏制病毒并阻止其传播。医生们一致认为，免疫系统较强的人更有能力应对新型冠状病毒。萨古鲁分享了几个自然渐进地提高免疫力的方法。Viruses are not a new entry into our lives. We literally live an ocean of bacteria and viruses. The important thing is that this particular virus is new to our system, so our bodies are struggling with it. To see that we can produce the necessary antibodies and become capable of handling it - as we have become capable of handling everything else - there are a few things we can do. It is not that this is a cure for coronavirus, but if these simple things can be practiced, you will see in six to eight weeks' time, your immune system will be at least a few percentage points higher. This is what you need to go through this situation without causing fatality to yourself and people around you.病毒并不是进入我们生活的新事物。我们真的是生活在细菌和病毒的海洋里。重要的是，这种特定的病毒对我们的系统来说是新的，所以我们的身体在与之抗争。为了确保我们能够产生必要的抗体、变得有能力去应对它——就像我们变得有能力去应对其它所有事情那样——我们可以做一些事情。这并不是说这是一种治疗冠状病毒的方法，但如果这些简单的事情能得以实行，你会看到在六到八周的时间内，你的免疫系统会至少提升几个百分点。这就是你在目前情况下需要经历的，而不会对自己和周围的人造成致命的伤害。
Neem leaf is available all across India, except in the mountainous areas, and turmeric is anyway available. Now they are making what is called as nano-turmeric, where the absorption rate is way higher than the normal turmeric.除了山区，苦楝叶在印度各地都能找到，姜黄反正是可以买到的。现在他们在制造所谓的纳米姜黄，它的吸收率远远高于普通姜黄。One simple thing that you could do every day is to consume eight to ten leaves of neem and a little bit of turmeric in warm water. If you drink this on an empty stomach, your ability to fight external organisms is greatly enhanced. Not that it will immediately work, but in three to six weeks’ time, there could be some difference. This is something that everyone can bring into their homes. It is already there in most homes in southern India but maybe not in other parts of the country, so we must bring this in.你每天都可以做一件简单的事，就是以温水送服八到十片苦楝叶和少量姜黄。如果空腹饮用，你对抗外来微生物的能力会大大增强。这并不是说它会立刻奏效，但在三到六周的时间内，情况就可能有所不同。这是每个人都可以引进家里的东西。它已经在南印度的大多数家庭中存在，但可能印度其它地区还没有，所以我们必须把它引入进来。#2 Jeeva Legium and Raw Mango
There are traditional offerings like Jeeva Legium or chyawanprash that also build the immune system. If you have old people at home, beyond sixty years of age, it is good to start them on chyawanprash. This is also the beginning of the raw mango season. Do not wait for it to ripen, eat the raw mango. It is not a preventive for coronavirus, but it can up boost the immune system a little bit.有些传统的配方也可强健免疫系统，比如Jeeva Legium，或称chyawanprash（一种用于提升整体健康和增强免疫力的阿育吠陀草药配方）。如果你家里有60岁以上的老人，最好让他们开始服用chyawanprash。现在也是生芒果季节的开始，别等它变熟，吃生的芒果。这不能预防冠状病毒，但能适度提升免疫系统。#3 Amla with Honey and Peppercorns
Soak amla (gooseberry, or nellikai) in honey overnight, along with some broken black or green peppercorns. Have about three spoons three times a day. It works best if that is the first thing that you take, when you are on an empty stomach. If you do this, in four to eight weeks, one can see significant betterment of one's immune system.将油柑子（即醋栗或nellikai）连同一些捣碎的黑胡椒或绿胡椒在蜂蜜中浸泡一晚。每天服用三次，每次大约三勺。一天中如果在你吃其它东西之前先空腹服用此方，效果最佳。如果你这样做，四到八周内，你会看到免疫系统的显著改善。
There is something called mahavilva leaves which are available in the Western Ghats region. If you can eat about three to five leaves a day in the morning, that will also enhance your immune system.在印度西高止山脉地区，有一种叫做“mahavilva树叶”的东西。如果你每天早上能吃上三到五片这种叶子，那也会增强你的免疫系统。#5 Get Enough Physical ActivityNow people are at home. If they just sit around, and through the day if they are eating something or drinking alcohol, they will make themselves much more susceptible. One simple thing is to stay physically active. This is a good time for us to use these few weeks to get fit. If you do not know anything else, at least simply jog on the spot every day at different times - maybe fifteen minutes at a time, five to six times a day. The body will try to handle things better.现在人们都在家里。如果他们只是坐着，整天吃东西或喝酒，他们会使自己变得更容易受感染。一件简单的事情就是保持身体活动。这几周是我们利用来健身的好时机。如果你什么都不懂，那就至少每天在不同时间原地慢跑——也许每次15分钟，每天五到六次。这样，身体会努力去更好地做事情。#6 Chanting to Generate UshnaThe “Yoga Yoga Yogeshwaraya” chant is about generating samat prana or ushna in the system. There is something called as ushna and sheeta, which in the English language translates into heat and cold, but that is not what it exactly means. It indicates that direction, but it does not mean that. If you generate enough samatprana and create ushna in the system, your immune system will function much better. This chant will generate a certain amount of strength in the immune system, because it generates heat.“Yoga Yoga Yogeshwaraya”的唱诵是为了在系统中产生samat prana或ushna。有一种叫做ushna和sheeta的东西，在英语中翻译成“热”和“冷”，但这并不是它的确切意思。它指明了那个方向，但还不是那个意思。如果你在系统中产生足够的samat prana和ushna，你的免疫系统就会运作得更好。这个唱诵会在免疫系统中产生一定的力量，因为它会生热。Let this be very clear that this is not treatment for coronavirus, nor is it a prevention. 'I did my chant, so I can go and do irresponsible things' - it is not going to work like that. These are things you do over a period of time to strengthen your system, so that when the next virus comes, you may be in a little better place to handle it.让我们非常清楚这一点，这既不是对冠状病毒的治疗方案，也不是预防。“我唱诵过了，所以我可以出去做不负责任的事情了”——这样是行不通的。这些事情是你要花一段时间去做的，目的是加强你的系统，这样当下一个病毒来临时，你可能会略有优势地处理它。
Mental distress is definitely one way of putting down the immune system. To stay fully spirited, joyful, and exuberant is also a simple way of making your immune system and the body to function much better.精神上的痛苦势必会让免疫系统变差。保持精神抖擞、快乐、活力旺盛也是一个简单的方法，使你的免疫系统和身体功能更好。A joyful, sensible, and responsible human being can deal with situations much better than those who are dead serious about everything. Especially if you are in panic, you are paralyzed. It is very important that all your faculties are in place, that your body and your brain function and respond the way they need to.一个快乐、明智、负责任的人比那些事事死严肃的人能更好地处理各种情况。尤其是当你惊慌失措时，你就瘫痪了。你所有的官能都各就其位，你的身体和大脑按照它们需要的方式运转和响应，这是非常重要的。
The basic mistake we have made is that we have no distinction between what is “me” and what is “mine.” What I gather can be mine, we are not disputing that right now, but it cannot be me. If I say this piece of clothing is me, then obviously, I have lost it. Similarly, if I say that this body and the content of this mind that I accumulated - what I know and do not know - is myself, then I have a problem. Well, it is playing havoc with your life on a daily basis, but in moments of crisis like this, it may show up in a strong way. For this we have a simple solution: Isha Kriya, a simple way of separating what is you and what is not you. It is available free for everyone to make use of. If you bring this much consciousness into you, as to what is me, what is not me, it will be very easy to ride through times like this.我们所犯的基本错误就是，我们分不清什么是“我”、什么是“我的” 。我所积累的东西可以是“我的”，我们现在不争论这个，但它不可能是“我”。如果我说这件衣服就是我，那么显然我失去了理智。同样，如果我说我所积累的这个身体和这个头脑里的内容——包括我所知的和不知的——就是我自己，那么我就有问题了。嗯，它每天都在破坏你的生活，但在现在这种危机时期，它可能会以一种强烈的方式出现。对此，我们有一个简单的解决方案：Isha Kriya，一个简单的方法来区分什么是你，什么不是你。每个人都可以免费使用。如果你把这种程度的意识带入自己内在，即什么是我，什么不是我，那么就能很容易地度过现在这样的时期。Editor’s Note: In this unprecedented time of crisis, Sadhguru is making himself available via live web-stream for a series of Q&A sessions where one has the opportunity to get their questions answered.编者按：在这前所未有的危机时期，萨古鲁正通过网络直播提供一系列的问答环节，让人们有机会提出他们的问题并得到解答。isha.sadhguru.org/global/en/wisdom/article/8-tips-boost-immune-system
