Breathing clean air affords your immune system the time it needs to rest and rejuvenate. Check out some ways to boost your immune health:
- Avoiding chemical cleaning agents, recreational drugs, cigarette smoke, industrial toxins, air pollution, and unnecessary vaccines and antibiotics allow our immune systems to heal
- Sugar and honey suppresses the immune system. Our body uses the B vitamins to process sugar instead of producing much needed antibodies. Sugar substitutes, like aspartame, should also be avoided
- Lifestyle changes such as adding more fresh fruit to one's diet to replace chemical cleaning agents with natural products such as vinegar and baking soda is effective
- Adequate sleep and rest are important
- Sweating removes toxins from the body. A brisk walk that produces a gentle perspiration works well
- Dietary supplements containing antioxidant vitamins and minerals are also necessary for immune health
- Avoid processed foods and saturated fat
- Herbs to consider for improved liver function are dandelion root, milk thistle, and licorice root.
