"How to Have an Exceptional Immune System" By Steve Johnson

The immune system may be one of the most important systems in the human body. It fights against unwanted bacteria and dangerous diseases that can cause terrible sickness and in general decrease health. This is why it so important to make sure you have a strong immune system. There are many ways to make sure you have an exceptional immune system.

There are many simple ways to make sure your immune system is up to par and ready to fight on your behalf. Lemons can actually help keep your body temperature at a level where only healthy bacteria can thrive. This is called your acid-alkali balance. If the alkalinity is not balanced, it creates an environment where harmful viruses and bacteria can grow. Squeezing fresh lemons into water, tea or a salad dressing are ways to make sure you get a good dose of lemons. Drinking different herb tea can also stimulate the immune system. Essential oils like oregano and eucalyptus oils are some of nature’s goodies that can be found in teas. Remember when you were young and your mother told you that you couldn’t stay up too late? This was because she knew 6 -10 hours of sleep helps keep the body balanced and gives the immune system time to rest as well. A solid 6 to 10 hours of sleep helps keep stress under control, clears thinking, improves mood, and promotes healthy skin! Sugar and coffee are two things that are absolutely detrimental to the immune system. Caffeine in coffee robs the body of nutrients and dehydrates it. Sugar does the same as well as making the body think it needs sugar when it really doesn’t. Sugar unbalances the body’s energy levels and affects weight distribution. Eliminating or at least decreasing intake of these can drastically improve your immune system. Drinking lots of water, almost a given, will also strengthen your immunity.

A couple other ways to build your immune system is to actually spend time outside and make time for yourself. Exercising or having fun with friends and family releases endorphins. This will increase your overall health and happiness and also give your immune system a breath of fresh air. Being inside all the time with other people’s germs and your own will send your immune system into overdrive. Being outdoors in the cool air actually stimulates the thyroid gland as well. Many people have no idea that the thyroid gland actually plays a vital role in maintaining body temperature, metabolism, hormonal balance, sex-drive, emotions, and sure enough immune strength. Because the thyroid gland affects so many things, it is definitely a good idea to keep it happy and healthy as well. Nurturing yourself and having a little “you” time can also help maintain a strong immune system.

Along with a balanced diet, exercise, and enough sleep, the following odd ingredients can be thrown in to increase your immune system as well. They are, broccoli, cabbage, turnip, turmeric (a spice found in yellow curry), garlic (yum!), oregano, bell peppers (great source of vitamin C), Green Tea, Pumpkins (coincidence they come with Halloween in October?), ginger and shiitake mushrooms. Another easy way to boost and strengthen your immune system is to take ImmunoCare by Himalaya. These tablets contain ingredients such as Guggul, Indian Tinospora, Indian Madder, and Amla, which are very hard to find in everyday foods.
