Each day our bodies are getting bombarded with enemies. The air we breathe, the foods we eat and the stresses of everyday life are putting our immune systems to an extreme test. With toxins hitting us from all sides, how can we ensure our immune defenses are up to these challenges?
Building a strong immune system and healthy body is similar to building anything else – the more tools you have in your toolbox, the easier it is to get the job done.
Here are some simple things you can do to help build that foundation of health:
- Pay attention to food. Although there isn't one food that will provide an instant boost to your immune system, developing the habit of eating a balanced, healthy diet with antioxidant-rich fresh fruit and vegetables, lean proteins, and lots of fibre will support good health.
- Try to choose organic foods over pesticide-laden foods wherever possible, consider free-range eggs, and drink purified or distilled water over tap water (but stay away from plastic bottles!).
- Consider dietary supplements to complement your diet. IMMUNITY-FX contains extracts from American ginseng and reishi mushroom, which are both clinically proven to strengthen the immune system.
- Establish a regular sleeping pattern. A full eight hours rejuvenates the mind, replenishes the body and provides energy for a positive attitude and an active lifestyle.
- Reduce stress and take care of your spiritual well being.
- Walk, run, bike, practice tai chi or yoga. Make an effort to include regular physical activity in your life. Low to moderate exercise benefits health and enhances immunity.
- Nurture your social life. Loneliness and depression pose serious challenges to the immune system. People who are active, productive, mentally stimulated and socially engaged enjoy better health and longevity.
