Best Practices to Boost the Immune System

September 19th, 2006

With all the noise about the immune system and its importance to our health and longevity, it can be difficult to boil things down to the best practices, therapies and supplements for giving our immunity a bump and keeping it healthy. So I’ve compiled this little list of best practices to make it easier. Remember that these are just a few of the most noteworthy practices and supplements I’ve come across in my studies and that these should probably be done in concert to assist the immune system on various levels.

Immune system support has a few main components: Insuring proper nutrition, assisting the thymus, restoring proper homone levels, stimulating blood health (especially the production of T-cell and B-cells), and combating damage to cells from excess oxidation. So here are some great ways to do those things:

1. Increase the antioxidants in your diet by taking vitamins C and E and by eating plenty of deeply colored berries, fruits and vegetables.
2. Supplement your diet with one or more superfoods, such as pure, unsweetened cocao; spirulina with chlorella; and bee pollen with royal jelly.
3. Take DHEA supplements to restore hormone depletion from excess cortisol (caused by stress, and stimulants like caffeine).
4. Take one or more of these herbal remedies: Echinacea/goldenseal; olive leaf extract; Panax ginseng; astragalus; mistletoe extract.

Well, that really boils it down to the essentials, doesn’t it? That’s what I’m here for.
