Immune System

The Immune System protects the body againts infection and the development of other ailments including cancer.  Recurrent or chronic infections, even very mild colds, only occur when the immune system is weakened.

Support and enhancement of the immune system is perhaps the most important step in achieving resistance to illness and reducing susceptibility to colds, flus and other infectional diseases

Let’s make sure we all know these factors ;

• Key Nutrients for supplementation to support the immune system are : vitamin A, carotenes, vitamin C, Vitamin E,  B- vitamins, iron, zinc and selenium.  Nutrients deficiency is the most common cause of low immune function.
• Supporting the thymus, the major gland of the immune system ( such as with reflexology a non medicinal method), is one of the primary goals of a therapy.
• The spleen is important in fighting and destroying bacterial infection, it releases many potent immune system enhancing compounds like tuftsin &  splenopentin.
• The herbs enchinacea and astragalus exert broad spectrum positive effects on immune system.
• The mind, emotion and stress have tremendous impact on immune function.  A relaxation massage, meditation or reiki session will help calms the mind.
• Alcohol consumption apparently inhibits white blood cell activity, the more alcohol consumed, the greater the impairment of white blood cell mobility.
• Obesity is associated with decreased immune status.
