Poor diet, daily stress, and exposure to toxins in our food, water and environment are all contributing factors to a weakening immune system. It doesn't matter what the person's genetic makeup is, if the body’s toxic load is kept under control and the immune system is strong, disease is unlikely to develop. Our immune system is the body’s most powerful defense against cancer. Treatments should focus on enhancing or making our immune systems stronger so that it can destroy cancerous cells, keeping DHEA at adequate levels and regulating cortisol.
The immune system even extends influence over how people
age. Aging may have more to do with the
functioning of the immune system than it does to the passage of time. It is so important in understanding how our immune system
works and that it is functioning at maximum efficiency and that it is a top priority
for your health.
A weakened immune system results in an increased
susceptibility to every type of illness.
Some common signs of a weakened immune system are: fatigue, repeated
colds and infections, inflammation, allergic reactions, slow wound healing and
chronic diarrhea. It is also possible to become ill as a result of an immune
response that is too strong or that is directed at the wrong target. These are known as “autoimmune, or self
attacking” disorders.
Proper Care of the Immune System:
Our immune system can only protect us if we nourish it
properly. The chemicals in household
cleaners, overuse of antibiotics and other drugs; antibiotics, pesticides and
several additives in our foods and exposure to environmental pollutants all
place a strain on the immune system. Stress also plays a huge role in the weakening of the immune
system. Stress suppresses the normal
activity of white blood cells and places demands on the endocrine system, as
well as depletes the body of needed nutrients.
Immune Boosting foods:
All fresh fruits and berries are good choices, apricots,
kiwis, avocados, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries. Best vegetables are: broccoli, Brussels sprouts,
spinach, kale, watercress, turnip greens, collards, carrots, squash, sweet
potatoes, red and orange sweet peppers and onions and garlic. Barley, a grain is also good. If possible, try to eat at least half of your
fruits and green leafy vegetables raw.
Also keeping friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract is
important. A good way to restore this is
to eat Sunrider’s vitadophilus or to eat plain yogurt (preferably non dairy such as soymilk yogurt)
labeled “live culture”.
Avoid: overconsuming animal products, processed foods, sugar
and soft drinks. Avoid overeating in
general.
Be sure to get enough sleep.
Most of the regeneration and healing of the body happens during
sleep. Get regular moderate
exercise. Exercises reduces stress,
elevates mood, promotes blood circulation and ensures a good supply of oxygen
to every part of the body.
Do not smoke or consume beverages containing alcohol or
caffeine and do not take any drugs except those that are prescribed by your
physician.
Note: An under active thyroid usually results in immune deficiency
as well. Just something to be aware of.Sunrider Products for Immune Health
Alpha 20C® is designed to address the body's defense system with “wood element” herbs that contain naturally occurring antioxidants and fortifying properties.* Sunrider’s proprietary formula is based on 3,000 years of herbal study and cutting-edge technology. Recent studies show that many of the herbal and botanical ingredients we use may contain beneficial bioactive components. Alpha 20C® is available in both capsules and powder form.
The primary ingredient in Citric C™ Tab is Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and development.* Unlike other Vitamin C, chewable Citric C™ Tab is formulated with owner expertise and contains herbal concentrates in a proprietary blend. The natural orange flavour makes these tabs taste delicious.
Vitamin C is a known antioxidant, which has been shown to inactivate damaging free radicals and play an essential role in collagen formation, necessary for strengthening bones and blood vessels.* Vitamin C promotes healthy teeth and gums and helps in the absorption of iron.* It aids in the maintenance of normal connective tissue and helps the body's immune system.*
The natural ingredients in the proprietary blend of Citric C™ Tab are known for their antioxidant properties. For example, our Citric C™ Tab is a dusty orange color, because it contains concentrated rose hips, a natural source of Vitamin C. Other brands may contain minute quantities of rose hips, if any. Each Citric C™ Tab contains 125 mg of Vitamin C, 200% of the recommended daily values.
