September 13th, 2009 Posted by: admin
(NC)—You are, indeed, an equal partner with your immune system. It is up to you for example, to take care of your body—and it’s up to your immune system to convert those good deeds into preventing illness
“Medical researchers point to a nu mber of lifestyle choices for health and healing,” says Sherry Torkos, pharmacist and author of The Canadian Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. “A daily supplement, like Immunity-FX is reliable support for the immune system—and so is the right balance of nutrition, sleep, exercise, and productivity. As important, however, researchers can now pinpoint factors that are likely to weaken our immunity.”
These are:
• Toxins: In a world filled with junk food, excess sugars, and saturated fats, many people have clogged elimination channels. This leads to an accumulation of toxins and waste material, weakening our overall defenses.
• Nutrition Deficiency: Since the body can’t produce its own nutrients, do pay attention to eating quality food. Add a daily vitamin, mineral supplement, and natural immune booster if in doubt.
• Dehydration: Give your cells fluid. Dehydration can cause countless problems to weaken your defenses, including the common cold and flu.
• Lack of exercise: Regular aerobic activity feeds oxygen to the cells, improves blood circulation, cleanses the body of toxins and is credited with improving health.
• Lack of sleep: Adequate rest strengthens all parts of the body to help you fight off even the most aggressive little bugs.
