The purpose of strengthen our immune system is to protect us from all kind of diseases, including bacteria. As a start, avoid any unnecessary use of medications, especially antibiotics and any unnecessary contact with hospitals and medical facilities. There are three strategies you can use to strengthen your immune system. The first one is P'au D'Arco tea. This is a traditional South American herbal remedy made from the inner bark of the purple lapacho tree. It is used there against a large variety of infections. In the 1960's they extracted a chemical from the purple lapacho, called naphtoquinone, which proved to have strong anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal actions. Watch for false P'au D'arcos sold on the herbal market. Only the Argentinian product is effective. The second strategy is a simple amino acid.Strong immunity requires a lot of glutamine. Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) will provide this. It is stable and doesn't rase body ammonia levels. The third strategy is ion exchange whey protein concentrate. THis is a powerful immune booster. Look for a protein drink of which the main ingredient is wey protein concentrate. Drink clean water. Most of our drinking water is now contaminated with over 60,000 man-made chemicals, that pollute our groundwater. Use a good quality alkaline filter. Limit your Alcohol Intake. It has been proven that some alcohol protect against cardio and reduces the effects of stress. Drink no more than two glasses of wine or beer or two singles of spirits per day. Eat an Alkaline Diet. Acidity has become a disorder in Australia. that causes many diseases. Look at www.nutrobalance.com and read about the Alkaline/Acid Food Theory. Use the "Eating Right Pyramid" as the basis for your diet. Eat mainly grains and cereals, followed by vegetables and fruits. Use meat,eggs, fish & dairy products as optional and kept to 15 - 20% of your daily calories. Use fats,oils & sweets sparingly. Eat a Wide Variety of Foods, to give you the best change to get all the necessary nutrients. Take Daily Supplements to obtain optimum health and to protect yourself against degraded and contaminated foods, polluted water and air, which will get a lot worse before it will get better. Take a complete multi-mineral & antioxidant and some organic flax seed oil. Eat a Low Fat Diet. It protects you against cardiovascular disease & cancer. Keep your fat intake below the 15% of your total daily calories preferably as organic olive oil & flax seed oil. Avoid saturated & trans fats. Eat a Low Salt Diet. Excess use of sodium causes hypertension and increase the risk of stomach cancer and osteoporosis.Take a potassium based salt substitute on the table and in cooking. Reduce your Sugar Intake. Refined sugar causes obesity, tooth decay, metabolic & cardiac abnormalities and also increase the risk of adult-onset diabetes. Use a little fructose or Stevia, which is a natural sweetener made of the leafs of the Stevia rebaudiana and is sweeter than sucrose. Eat Organic, Unprocessed foods. I have mentioned the degraded & contaminated nature of foods grown with NPK fertilizers and foods processed for mass production. They fail to provide essential nutrients and do more harm than good. Your body has to rob its own tissues of essential nutrients to use in absorption and metabolism of any refined food. Avoid Red Meats The number of colon cancer cases in America has exceeded 150,000 in 1990, ten times as many as in Eastern nations. Dr. Walter Willett at the Harvard University has shown with a clinical trial of 88,751 women, that eating beef, pork or lamb daily can cause a 250% increase of risk of colon cancer. Red meat consumption is now also linked to prostate cancer in a new study of 14,916 physicians. Avoid Processed Meats, like pickled, salt-cured,smoked, nitrated or charcoal-cooked meats, which contain potent carcinogens. Don't eat them. At the barbecue, don't allow the meat to char and cut off any charred peaces Eat a High Fiber Diet Fiber protects you against colon cancer,it lowers your cholesterol and stabilizes your blood sugars. Consume at least 40 - 50 gram of mixed fibers daily, from whole-grain breads & cerials, especially from oat bran, vegetables and fruits. Eliminate Toxic Metals. Lead damage our brains and so those aluminum, which is also linked with Alzheimers. Watch out for personal care products, such as anti-perspirants and shampoos. Include Weight Bearing Exercises in your fitness program, at least three times per week. your lungs, organs, muscles, bones and your immune system will benefit from it.
