BUILD YOUR BODY’S OWN RESISTANCE TO COLDS and FLU
The common cold and the flu (also known as influenza) are both caused by contagious viruses. Symptoms of the common cold include sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes, but usually without a fever. The flu, however, has several additional symptoms, including chills, fever, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. Both conditions respond well to natural remedies. In fact, during cold and flu season, proper nutritional intake can help boost your body’s own resistance to these viruses and minimize symptoms.
TRY THESE EASY AND EFFECTIVE REMEDIES:
- Drink hot liquids (chicken soup or broth and herbal teas), drink more fluids, especially orange and grapefruit juices.
- Facial steam (with a few drops of eucalyptus oil) is helpful.
- Get extra rest. If possible, use a vaporizer while you sleep.
- Use Saline nasal drops.
TOP SUPPLEMENTS TO HELP BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM:
The immune system is made of the bodily components including organs, bone marrow, cells, antibodies and bio-chemicals, as well as specific nutrients that help nourish and generate them. To help keep your immune system strong and help you maintain optimum health and well-being, consider the following protective nutritional supplements to incorporate into your daily regimen...
Vitamin C: Provides comprehensive support to your immune system and also has anti-viral benefits. Health problems such as viral infections, colds, stress, surgery and progressive diseases deplete the body’s Vitamin C levels and should be replenished on a daily basis.
Vitamin E: This essential vitamin is most useful for its antioxidant effects on dangerous oxidized fats and cholesterol, both of which are suspected causes heart disease. Vitamin E also helps to protect cell membranes and DNA from free-radical damage.
Selenium: As part of the body's detoxification system, Selenium is particularly helpful in getting rid of chemical pollutants such as heavy metals. As an antioxidant, it prevents or slows the aging process of tissue. It is beneficial for the cardiovascular system and helps protect against cancer.
Vitamin A: This antioxidant reduces the rate of infection and supports normal cell reproduction. It helps protect the body from the irritating effects of smoke and other pollutants. It may also reduce your chances of getting ulcers, atherosclerosis, stroke and high blood pressure.
Beta-Carotene: This anti-oxidant vitamin has been shown to strengthen the immune response by stimulating T-helper cell activity. It also appears to prevent the development of cancer. A number of studies have shown people with a higher beta-carotene intakes have a reduced rate of lung and colon cancer.
Zinc: This protective mineral is essential to several immune-system functions. It helps with healing and reduces infection. It supports the immune system to help the body fight infection and produce antibodies. By helping to regulate the function of white blood cells, zinc can improve antibody response to vaccines and cell-mediated immunity.
Echinacea (herbal): Echinacea is used to purify the blood and lymph system and to treat infections. Recent studies show that it can increase white blood cell counts and as a result increases the ability to fight bacteria and viruses. It also stimulates the lymphatic system to help clear wastes.
Acidophilus: This beneficial bacteria inhabits the human digestive system. It is best known for assuring the return of normal body functions after a course of antibiotics, by reintroducing friendly bacteria into the colon. It acts as a mild antibiotic, and regular use can replace the harmful bacteria in your colon (or vaginal tract in women) where acidophilus is useful to help treat yeast infections.
CoEnzyme-Q10: CoEnzyme-Q10 works alongside other enzymes to support the body's bio-energetic functions. It acts as an immune-system booster and has been shown to help lower blood pressure and enhance the pumping action and electrical function of the heart. It may also improve energy production in heart muscle cells.
