Our immune system is our defense mechanism against viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. There are effective ways to boost your and your children’s immune systems and with a strong immune systems, your bodies have the power to cure themselves.
Boost Your Immune System
We are hearing more and more about the importance of boosting our immune systems. The immune system helps to provide resistance to infections and toxicity. The key players include the thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes—and leukocytes(white blood cells), along with a complex network of cells and proteins that make up your immune system. Without going into the scientific description, it is very well known that it is important to do some things regularly that help to keep your immune system healthy.
Hand Washing:
Although hand washing is important, I would try to avoid antibacterial soaps or agents of any kind. Antibacterial properties kill not only harmful bacteria but also the good. Your skin microbiome is a line of defense against infections, and keeping it intact is very important to immune resilience. Also, triclosan, which is found in many antibacterial soaps, resembles human hormones and can fool your systems that rely on the thyroid. This can lead to infertility, advanced puberty, obesity or cancer. The human body has a hard time processing triclosan.
6 Immune Boosters we recommend:
- Get adequate sleep
- Exercise
- A healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables(preferably organic)
- Don’t smoke and avoid second hand smoke
- Moderate Alcohol
- Avoid chemicals when possible: There is increased awareness and concern within the scientific communities that chemical pollutants can suppress immune processes and thus cause increased development of neoplastic and infections diseases.
