Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Avoid sugar ........ specifically chemically processed man made sugar ..... as bacteria will only feed and multiply on it and sugar will also stress a healthy system.

Avoid mucous producing foods ~ milk and diary products such as cheese, ice cream, cream, preserved meats and processed foods.

Avoid tobacco, smoking and alcohol & soft drinks and sodas as they will all rob you of your precious water soluble vitamins B & C.

Ensure that you get enough vitamin C on a daily basis as well by eating citrus fruits such as lemons limes and oranges, red and green peppers, strawberries, blackberries and you can even supplement with a powdered form of vitamin C that contains bioflavonoids (which increase the power of vitamin C ten fold) ~ take approx 1,000 - 2,000 mg daily mixed with your juice or fresh filtered water.

Bolster your immune system eat immune boosting foods such as raw fruits and vegies, raw garlic and onion, raw vegetable juices, raw fenugreek, chilli, ginger, free range eggs, oily fish (salmon, sardines, tuna), avocadoes, flaxseed (ground freshly and cold pressed oil), barley grass (juice or sprouted seeds), wheat grass juice,freshly sprouted seeds and beans, cold pressed seed and vegetable oils, fresh seafood, legumes such as peas, beans and lentils, organic raw nuts and seeds (ground up for easier digestion).

Sea weeds such as kelp, dulse, agar - agar, nori, arame, kombu, wakame and hijiki are excellent for improved immune function.

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts all contain phyto nutrients that protect against infections ... foods containing plant hormones (known as phyto estrogens), such as isoflavones and lignans, are known to reduce the risk of many cancers... good sources of these plant hormones are soy beans (if you can tolerate soy), alfalfa and flaxseed.

Drink loads and loads (at least 2 - 3 litres daily) of fresh filtered water to ensure you are properly hydrated.

take care of you

peace

Health Question & Answer

Yes, organic fruits and veggies are good for antioxidant support and fiber content (keeping your bowels healthy does have an impact on the immune system), plus exercise (even walking, light jogging, or swimming) and getting proper sleep has also been shown to help the immune system.
Those are the basic ways to stay healthy in general, but if you find that you are getting sick more often than you would like, there are some natural options to help boost your immune system.
Some of the most popular natural products for boosting the immune system are Colostrum, Mushrooms (Maitake, Shiitake, and Reishi), IP-6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate), Beta Glucans, Elderberry, Echinacea (should be taken short-term only), and any antioxidants.
Good luck!
