Your wonderful Immune System
When your immune system is in optimal condition it is able to fight against common illness and disease and give you a natural immunity boost.
We are all born with a level of immunity that increases naturally over time.
When the immune system is compromised, often due to poor health conditions, it makes staying healthy even harder.
If you find you are prone to chronic or frequent illness and infection it could be that your immune system is compromised. Also feeling lethargic, becoming tired for no reason or fatigued may indicate a low immunity.
There are many ways to improve your immune system naturally. Below are some guidelines about how we can optimise our immunity.
Delete these to give yourself an Immunity Boost
Become mindful of what exactly you are putting into your body and learn about the adverse effects poor nutrition habits are doing to your immune system. This makes sense as around 70-80%% of your immune system is located around and inside the gut.
The aim is to remove these baddies below:
- Tap water contains Fluoride right? Did you know Fluoride destroys the healthy bacteria that naturally occurs in the gut?
- Commercial dairy products are guilty of clogging up the body with excess mucus that can smother the immune system
- Refined sugar can effectively cripple the immune system, in fact a small chocolate bar can have a negative effect on your immune system for 24hrs!
- Wheat can cause inflammation contributing to immune suppression in the body.
The good news is by limiting or eliminating these from your daily diet will go a long way to improving your gut health, therefore improving your immune system.
The modern Western diet contains far too much processed food so think about eating mainly fresh unprocessed food.
Add these for Your Immunity Boost
To boost your immune system try adding these to your daily nutrition:
- Adding a quality fermented organic daily probiotic is a major player for boosting your immune system.
- Take a quality Omega 3 oil supplement.
- Take Vitamin D3 Sufficiency Drops
- Also known to increase your immunity are Apple Cider Vinegar, organic raw garlic, ginger and olive leaf extract.
Other Factors to Improve your Natural Immunity Defence
The following will also help your immunity
- Reducing stress
- enjoying plenty of fresh air while exercising
- getting adequate sleep
- limiting alcohol
- not smoking
- most importantly consuming a diet with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Include a wide range of immune system booster foods that include tons of fresh fruit and vegetables. Keeping your weight in the healthy weight range is beneficial too!
Your Chiropractic Immune system
When you engage in regular chiropractic adjustments building up your resilience and resistance to illness, this reduces stress and interference to your body.
Many regular patients notice an improvement to their immune system, noticing less illnesses such as the common cold.
Read this positive reference from Ronald PeroPH.D Chief of Cancer Prevention Research at the New York Preventative Medicine Institute:
It was found ‘That chiropractic patients had a 200% greater immune-competence than people who had no chiropractic care, and a 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer or other serious diseases.’
That’s a pretty impressive increase wouldn’t you agree?
