| Immune Power - Empower your Immune System; it stands between you and certain death
It has been said that drugs don't heal; the body heals itself, doctors and drugs just enable the process. At any rate, a powerful and well-tuned immune system is our #1 ally, and we want to nurture and strengthen it with loving care. As we age, the immune system weakens, and we need to support it in every way possible.
Many nutrients enhance immune function. The milk infants receive from their mother contains several factors that establish and build immune function; whey proteins, colostrum, certain bacteria. Even bacteria in soil are important for immune system development. Some mushrooms have powerful immune stimulant properties. Certain fats are essential for immune operation. The immune system depends on the presence and health of bacterial cultures native to the human gut. If we kill them off with antibiotics all hell can break loose. The list of immune-helpful foods is lengthy, and we will spend lots of space below compiling information to flesh out the details.
In the last year or so there have been a number of studies and authoritative reports that vitamin D (particularly the active form in the body - vitamin D3) has an immense impact on the operation of the human immune system. It has been shown to activate genes that ramp up the killing power of T-cells, and their effectiveness at protecting us from viruses, bacteria and fungi. It is also proving to be perhaps the most important immune factor in preventing a broad spectrum of cancer lines. Check out our recent Vitamin D3 Article. At the same time, several studies have shown that much of the world population suffers needlessly from vitamin D deficiency in the winter seasons, particularly seniors that spend most of their time indoors.
On the other side of the coin, there are foods, drinks such as most soft-drinks and alcohol that, if overdone, will tank your immune system. One of the best ways to diminish your immune function is over-training - exercising too hard and too often for systemic recovery to occur. Then too the immune system can become the enemy and start attacking our joints and organs. There are a whole class of nutritional factors called immunomodulators that have the ability to normalize the system and make it behave more correctly. They rev up some immune responses and tone down others; often correcting autoimmune diseases or decreasing symptoms.
There is some overlap in this topic and others - Hormone levels effect immune operation, most things that enhance immune function are foods, and could as well be under the Nutrition category. Some types of exercise boost immunity; others knock it for a loop. So bear with us as we attempt to unfold this massive yet incomplete body of information, and distill the practical things we can do to optimize your immune systems. One of the names in Immune Boosters that I trust is Allergy Research; I suggest looking into: Note: Click the "buy" button to see more info on the products. The last Immune-booster I tested is Delta-Immune, which held off whatever colds and flu I would have contracted last winter. I don't take this all the time, only if I feel something coming on, then it goes away, or at least it did last winter. I'm impressed! It has been renamed to Russian Choice Immune
