4 Proven Ways to optimize your Immune System
Your Immune System: the Silent Savior
Your Immune System is the silent savior that keeps you alive by keeping your body running like a well oiled machine. The Immune System consists of several organs and systems to keep you resistant to toxins and infections.
From the day you are born, this system continues to grow with you until you're a teen, after which it takes a steady decline as you age.
Although this decline is inevitable, there are several natural ways to keep you healthy. Let's take you on a journey to keeping your body and mind in good health.
1. Watch your diet
It may seem obvious, but the first step in keeping your immune system intact is to pay close attention to the things you consume on a regular basis.
A general rule of thumb is to avoid overly processed, synthetic food substances such as the kind you find in low quality food items. Stick to natural based foods, as these usually have the highest concentration of vitamins you need for a healthy diet.
What to look out for:
Vegetables with the skin intact are a great source of Vitamin B6, Oranges and Broccoli are a great source of Vitamin C, while Almonds and Sunflower are a great source for Vitamin E. These Vitamins do a great service of supporting your Immune System.
2. Drink Water
By now, you've spent a decent portion of your life being lectured on all the benefits of drinking enough water daily. This shouldn't be taken lightly as it is the driving force keeping your body alive.
You constantly lose water from your body every day, even if you aren't sweating. Water is discharged through breathing, perspiration, urine and general evaporation. And it doesn't magically reappear. You must drink water regularly to keep your immune system optimized.
What to look out for:
There isn't an exact science to how much water you should consume, every one varies in their daily habits. The more active you are, the more water you should drink to replace what is lost. If you are feeling ill, more fluids in your system can accelerate your recovery.
3. Sleep
The one thing we need a lot of, but can never seem to get enough, is a good night's rest. However, sleep isn't just about relaxation at the end of the day.
While you sleep, your body produces critical infection fighting proteins that are critical to your healing, even if you don't physically feel sick. In the event you are feeling ill, these proteins are even more in demand, but cannot be produced optimally without sleep.
What to look out for
When you're ready to rest, aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep, and eliminate any distractions that may keep you from getting your recommended amount.
4. Targeted Immune Supplements - ImmunExtra
Immune Supplements are a great option to optimize your immune system with additional nutrients that you may not get from your diet alone. It should be noted that many products on the market don't offer the advantages they promise and are also not clinically proven. This is why ImmunExtra is a cut above the rest.
