Build a strong immune system and you give yourself the opportunity to enjoy lasting good health. Your immune system is your built-in defense system against disease. It tackles harmful bacteria, wrestles viruses, protects you from toxins and is constantly on watch for potential trouble. Should a bug break through or you experience an injury, your immune system rallies around the problem and works to not only tackle it, but heal any damage that occurred. There are several parts to your immune system. They include:
What you feed your body feeds these organs and disease-fighting (immune) cells. Poorly nourished cells are weak and inefficient. Give your immune system good foods to work with and it will be stronger, more resilient and better prepared to fight the bacteria and viruses you come in contact with every day. If you eat well, you are more likely to stay well.Many nutrients are necessary for a strong immune system. They work together to create a powerful team of immune cells. A diet lacking in these nutrients diminishes your ability to fight off harmful bacteria and viruses. A diet lacking in these nutrients weakens you and your immune system. Foods are the tastiest (and best) way to feed your immune system. |
