10 Ways to Strengthen Your Immune Systemby Brianna Stanley
Our immune systems are under the attack. Due to increased polltion and decreased quality regulations on everyday products, our bodies now have to work harder than ever before to keep us in a state of questionable health. And if that weren't bad enough, they are forced to operate without the necessary tools because we fail to consume adequate nutrients...then we wonder why so many people get sick. Because a healthy immune system will actually help guard against cancer and heart disease, as well as lesser issues like frequent illness and acne, it is important that we give it the best care we can. 1) Exercise Exercising helps to circulate lymph fluid, white blood cells that fight disease-causing pathogens. 2) Take a Multi-Vitamin The alarming fact is that foods (fruits, vegetables, and grains) now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain minerals are starving us no matter how much of them we eat. No man today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his (or her) system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them
The truth is that our foods vary enormously in value, and some

Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than on calories or vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume. The preceding quote is from Senate Document 264, dated 1936. 3) Use Organic Cleaners Regular household cleaners contain toxic chemicals that harm the immune and respiratory systems. It is a common misconception that spraying everything with disinfectant is healthy--on the contrary, if the chemicals will kill germs, think about what they do to our own immune systems (especially pets and children, who are both smaller and closer to the surfaces). The best way to avoid becoming ill from bacterial contact is to strengthen our resistance against it. 4) Switch Personal Care Products Most hair care and skin care products contain harmful ingredients that are soaked right into the skin. Find some that contain all-natural ingredients, and don't be mislead by fancy advertising. 5) Keep Houseplants Plants help to filter toxins out of the air and replace them with oxygen. 6) Get 8 Hours a Night Deep sleep allows the release of the

growth hormone. This aids in efficient absorption of nutrients and amino acids, as well as stimulation of the bone marrow (where immune cells are "born"). 7) Cut Sugar One hundred grams of sugar can reduce the white blood cell's ability to kill germs by 40% for 5 hours. 8) Get Plenty of Fresh Air "Understanding indoor air as I do, it is my contention that our immune systems are being compromised . . .from being 'overwhelmed' by polluted indoor environments which are loaded with airborne contaminants." (Dan Schilling, Building Inspector and Indoor Air Specialist) 9) Avoid Antibiotics if Possible Antibiotics override and disable the body's immune system. 10) Drink More Water Dehydration leads to excess body fat (yes, drinking water helps promote weight loss), joint pain, increased toxicity, and decreased nutrient absorbtion. Be sure to avoid dehydrating beverages, such as coffee and soda. Brianna Stanley has turned her passion of health and wellness into her business.
