 Ways to a Strong
Immune System
How can two people live in the same house and when exposed to the same
flu virus – one will get sick and the other will not? Whether or not
you become ill after exposure to the virus depends on how well your
immune system works. The virus itself doesn’t give you the flu – it is
a weakened immune system that doesn’t combat the virus and kill it
that gives you the flu. The key is a healthy, robust immune system.
Here are some simple ways to strengthen your immunity.
1. Reduce stress and anxiety.
When you become stressed or anxious, your immune system takes a fall.
This is due to the release of cortisol – the bad stress hormone. It is
important to manage your stress level, which can be done simply
through relaxation techniques (yoga, breathing exercises, etc.) or
natural products proven to help reduce stress, anxiety and sleeplessness
without side effects. Getting the proper amount of sleep is also
important in maintaining immune system health.
2. Eat nutritious foods.
Make sure your diet offers many vegetables and fruits, as they provide
essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals to help
enhance your immunity. Avoid processed foods, especially those high in
sugar – a spoonful of sugar can impair the immune system for many
hours by up to 50 percent!
3. Exercise moderately.
Aerobic exercise – such as walking, biking or swimming - can boost the
immune system. The philosophy “if some is good, more is better” does
not fit here. To best support healthy immune function, exercise should
be moderate (not excessive) and regular (time to get into a routine).
4. Enhance immune system with a natural source of Immunoglobulin.
Colostrum, which is naturally high in Immunoglobulin G (IgG), is the
only supplement that provides the body’s vital immune components that
protect against harmful pathogens in the environment including
bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins. It balances the immune response
and provides key antibodies for E. coli, H. pylori and Candida
albicans – along with 34 other pathogens.
5. Decrease inflammation throughout the body.
How do our body tissues become inflamed in the first place? Sometimes
inflammation is a response to injury, yet many times inflammation
results in the body’s tissues as a result of our intestinal lining
letting in “bad” substances. Our gastrointestinal (GI) tract lining is
where up to 90% of all disease enters our body. We all have varying
degrees of damage to this lining from consuming substances such as
antibiotics, soft drinks, pain medications, food preservatives and
alcohol. To reduce future inflammation, you can protect the GI tract
by avoiding these substances that injure it, as well as supplementing
your diet with colostrum daily to help heal this GI lining.
