Cut Simple Sugars

Simple sugar ruins your immune system and in turn your health. A teaspoon of sugar can compromise your immune system for 3 to 5 hours. During that period of time foreign invaders can get a foot hold. Repeatedly consume enough simple sugars and you will develop chronic immune system issues.

Now lets clarify what we mean by simple sugars. We are not referring to eating whole organic fruits. They are nutrient dense. Nutrient dense food in normal serving sizes are not the problem. We are referring to food with sugar added such as corn syrup. It is important to look at the labels of processed foods. Learn to recognize fructose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, and frictose as sugars and avoid these foods.

Stop Free-Radicals & Inflammation with Antioxidants

Antioxidants are best known for anti aging but they play an important role in boosting your immune system recovery time. After the immune system recognizes a threat, the first action it takes is to trigger inflammation.  Inflammation is simply a swelling of cells around a threat or injury to block the threat from spreading. This swelling of cells squeezes nerves which is what gives you the sensation of pain that tells you that you have a problem.

The best way to relieve this pressure is two fold. First your immune system must increase its response to the area so it is able to destroy the threat. Transfer factors play a role by launching the response of immune cells. Antioxidants bind free-radicals. Free radicals are toxic ionic particles that can damage your cells. Free radicals come from a variety of sources such as damaged cells, pollution, bad bacteria, and oxygen metabolism. The immune system will not signal for the release of the inflammatory response until it is prepared to deal with the threat. 

Inflammation can become chronic when a person's immune system either over-reacts to a threat or is unable to launch an adequate response to the threat over a prolonged period of time. While transfer factors helps to keep the immune system response in balance, antioxidants mop up free-radicals so the immune system can release the inflammatory responses.

Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E are the best known antioxidants. But you have to be careful not to overdose on them.  You should learn about other antioxidants that are less problematic. Super fruits such as Acai are good sources of antioxidants. Also, grape seed and pine bark extracts are concentrated sources antioxidants. These are great sources of antioxidants to reduce the inflammation and pain triggered by free radicals. Take enough of them so the inflammation and pain goes away.

Get Rid of Toxins

The level of toxins in your body has a lot to do with your immune system. This works two ways. Your immune system has to be able to recognize and remove toxins and toxins slow up your entire metabolism, including your immune cells. Toxins also have a lot to do with how old you are physiologically, not chronologically. 

Toxins are any excess substance that your body does not need to maintain balance. Some toxins your body can get rid of. They are usually water soluble. Others get stuck in cells or our liver stores them or sends them into fat cells to prevent them from causing damage. We get toxins from pollution, preservatives, drugs, fertilizers, pesticides, smoking, bacteria, viruses, household chemicals,  and many other sources that we do not want to think about. We just can't get away from them.

Fortunately we know of methods that get rid of most any toxin. Some are just a lot more difficult than others. We have to start with nutrition by setting a well rounded base line of nutrients that work together to support overall health. To get that nutrition the gastrointestinal system has to be in good shape.

We usually start with a ten day cleanse using nutrients that help to release toxic substances and support the over-all health of the digestive tract. The gastrointestinal system needs at least a regular supply of soluble and insoluble fiber, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and a broad spectrum of nutrients to function properly. 

Once the gastrointestinal system is in shape, we move on to other targets for detoxification. Antioxidant are used to reduce free-radicals.  Liver detoxification formulas helps the liver remove toxins more efficiently.  Weight loss releases toxins stored in fat cells. Potassium-hydrogen (pH) balancing diet helps the body maintain the acid-alkaline stability. Sweating and exercise is another good form of detoxification. Manage stress in your life and get plenty of rest and sleep. Drink water, about eight-eight ounce glasses of toxin free water every day.
