Strengthen your Immune System

Hey My Dear Friends 😍,

No one likes to be sick. 100% understandable why we are all intrigued by products that promise to boost our immune system. We think of it like a muscle that we can strengthen by feeding it lots of antioxidants & supplements. But that's just not how the immune system works. While the immune system can be suppressed & can be less effective.

For example, in people receiving chemotherapy the reverse, strengthening the system overall, just doesn't happen. We encounter on a constant basis. It also plays an integral part in wound healing. It's an elegant network of cells, tissues and organs, all working together.

Your immune system is your body's defense system. It protects the body from various diseases and infections. Therefore, it is very important to keep it strong.

When people say "boost the immune system,"what do they even mean? Do they mean boost the histamine that's released when exposed to poison ivy? Well,that would you itch a lot more. Do they mean supercharge your T and B cells? Instead of thinking of a muscle that you can strengthen with one simple exercise, a better analogy may be a garden.

Our immune system has many components, just like a garden has many kinds of plants. Each plant needs just the right amount of sun, shade and water. Too much sun might help one plant but destroys another. If you're getting all the nutrients you need from a healthy, balanced diet, taking more of a single vitamin won't help your immune system function any better overall. For some vitamins, if you take in more than you need, your body will just get rid of the excess as waste. Vitamin supplements are only needed if you have a true real deficiency.

In fact,some studies tell us that vitamins & supplements, when they're not medically needed, may have negative effects. Things can go wrong with our immune system for sure, like allergies or autoimmune conditions & failure to catch abnormal cells. But the reasons for each of these things are complex & often not fully understood. And they certainly won't be solved by some immune-boosting miracle pill.

There is however, one thing that has been shown again and again to be incredible for your immune system. Vaccines are truly genius. They contain a weakened or inactive part of a pathogen,like the flu, that includes its antigen name tag. They trigger the body into making antibodies without needing to get sick from an illness first. So get your immunizations & your flu shot every year.

Thank you for giving a time!
