Everyone Wants a Stronger Immune System

Our only natural asset for fighting sickness is our own immune system. We don’t pay enough attention to making it stronger and in fact, only seem to really be interested in our health when it leaves us.  Then we just reach for drugs.  A health approach based on wellness would help us strengthen and support that asset .

Bad diets, too much stress and aging all detract from the strength of our immune systems. Getting older is particularly destructive and sadly , unavoidable . Our cellular and antibody functions slow and chronic inflammation which seems to go hand and hand   with many diseases of old age sets in . Chronic inflammation (think heart disease & rheumatoid arthritis) is also connected to   oxyradicals and the damage they cause at the cellular level . This will come as no surprise to anyone who is an advocate of the importance of antioxidants.

Supporting our immune system by upping our antioxidant levels to help take out the free radicals damaging our cells is a route worth examining . We can do this through our diet and health products like Cellgevity to help increase your glutathione, which could easily be the leading defender against the free radical damaging . We also need to deal with our stress levels and please get up , get some exercise and put the cookies away !

Besides glutathione, there are other antioxidants that are powerful immune system supporters . There are Vitamins E and C along with the B-vitamins, and they’re available as antioxidant supplements. Vitamin A is another one and CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant but as we get older our production of it flags . Minerals that matter to our immune system include copper, zinc and selenium . The Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and flax seed oils have been found to offset suppression of the cellular immune system .
