(NaturalNews) A strong immune system is at the heart of our very
wellbeing so we can fight off most diseases and conditions that come our way.
But if our immune system is weakened for whatever reason, we become very
vulnerable. Holistic medicine recognizes that illness is not caused by viruses
and bacteria but by weakened immune systems.
Fortunately, there are many natural immune system boosters and most of
these are based on common sense and a balanced lifestyle.
- Lemon is an easy way to start. Add lemon juice to a glass of water or
your cup of tea daily to help maintain your body's internal "climate"
at a pH that supports healthy bacteria instead of the viruses and harmful
bacteria which thrive in more acidic environments.
- An herbal boost from the large selection of medicinal herbs, well
known for their immune strengthening properties that are even safe for children
too, will give your body additional support during the winter months.
- Essential oils are a particularly effective natural immune system
booster. When treating conditions such as acne, hemorrhoids, anal fissures,
shingles, eczema, arthritis, Candida, athlete's foot and nail fungus with
products formulated from essential oils, part of the healing process is to
ensure the formula is absorbed into the blood stream. This is achieved by
massaging a drop of the treatment under each foot. This boosts the immune
system and acts as a preventative.
- Eat raw fruits and vegetables rather than the cooked version whenever
you can. Their nutritional content is unparallel, with many antioxidants to
protect those cells in your immune system from
damage by toxins in the environment. Eat as many different colors of fruit and
vegetables as possible. Dark colored produce such as berries, kale and broccoli
are especially good as well as nuts, seeds, garlic and kelp.
- The foods that boost
immunity contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Carotenoids, Bioflavonoids,
Zinc, Selenium and Omega-fatty acids. Spirulina is good as a naturally
digestible food because it supplies so many of the nutrients you need.
- Remind yourself to drink lots of water. Your urine should be the very
palest of yellow otherwise you are just not drinking enough.
- Make sure you are getting enough sleep. You know how much you need as
an individual and it most likely means you have to go to bed earlier every
night to achieve the hours of sleep you require.
- Whatever the weather, spend more time outdoors and take the opportunity to exercise while you are there. Encourage the whole family to do the same.

- And have a good laugh. Laughter significantly increases the activity
of T cells and other markers of healthy immune function. If we can laugh, we
will automatically relieve our stress levels.
Remember too that if you have taken antibiotics recently, you will need
to restore the healthy flora balance in your body by taking a probiotic
containing acidophilus. Unfortunately, antibiotics can harm the good bacteria
in your system, and therefore your immune system, while they are fighting an
infection in your body.
Now that you know what you should be doing to boost your immune system
in a natural way, here
are some of the things that you should be avoiding: coffee; sugar and
artificial sweeteners; smoking; alcohol and drugs; processed food and saturated
fat.
If you can boost your immune system by following many of these
suggestions, you are much less likely to become sick. You have a good chance of
avoiding those other conditions
that can rear their ugly heads when your immune system is compromised.
