How Vital is your Immune System?
How about those times when “everyone” is falling like flies around us, from the sneezy, sniffly, headachey cold or nasty flu-bug going around - do you dread you’ll get it, or just figure it’s inevitable?
Or maybe you’re one of those rare souls who doesn’t get sick no matter what. However healthy our our natural immune system, it can always use extra protective support in a day when H1N1 pandemics and other strange illnesses are finding their way around our globe at an amazing rate. Here are my four favorite keys to super immunity:
1. Body Ecology and the Immune System
We often think of ecology in relationship to the earth – keeping nature healthy for the survival of all living things, but did you know we also have a body ecology? The environment within our body determines the quality of cellular function, activity of nerves and hormones, and even brain-power. This internal condition or body ecology plays a major role in the function of our immune system and has much to do with how well we fight colds and flu when they come along.
2. Cleansing to Prevent Colds and Flu
Just like the land is polluted with blowing trash, plastic bags and junkyards, over many years of poor eating, exercise and thinking habits our body can become overloaded with waste products that should have been eliminated long ago. This congestion creates an environment where microorganisms, viruses, bacteria, protozoa love to live.
So the first step in creating Super Immunity™ is to literally “clean house”. Cleansing the body with herbs, juices, lighter diet, breathing, gentle exercise such as walking or yoga, colon cleansing and purging old negative emotions are essential steps to cultivating a healthy immune system response.
3. Herbs and Spices protect Immune System based on Traditional Medicine and Clinical Studies
Traditional medicine from cultures that go back several thousand years such as India, China and South America embrace an amazing knowledge of herbs and spices regularly included in food preparation;
Herbs and Spices protect Immune System
many of the just being shown by research today to be some of the most protective foods available, and to be equally as effective as drugs against deadly modern diseases such as cancer.
For instance Mexico has a low incidence of cancer, and the spice cumin which has been found to have anti-cancer characteristics is used daily in much Mexican food preparation. Turmeric, the yellow colored East Indian spice (also an ingredient of some curry blends) has been shown in clinical studies to be more anti-inflammatory than hydrocortosone.
4. Think and Get Well: Super Immunity begins with Thought
Our modern culture has been programmed by media and big business, so often, when we’re feeling down we think a pill is the only way get well. As a general rule we need to restore our faith in the body’s innate ability to heal itself and keep itself well.
Just like in the movie The Secret, in order to access our Super Immunity™ we must give attention to our body ecology, to using protective foods, and to cultivating a “new” belief system in the body’s ability to get itself well, if we will just get out of the way.
