A Low Immune System...
Is This Causing Your Asthma and Allergies?
Many people
who suffer from asthma and allergies don't realize it, but a
low immune system is very likely at the root of their
problems. Medical experts agree that a lowered or improperly
functioning immune system can and does result in several
diseases such as asthma, allergies, arthritis, psoriasis,
lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome and cancer to name just a few.
There are ways to strengthen your immune system, which will
help to significantly decrease your allergy and asthma
symptoms.
The body's immune system's first
line of defense against disease are barriers that prevent antigens, which
are large protein molecules of bacteria, viruses, chemicals and other
substances that appear harmful from entering your body. The barriers include
your skin, mucus, cough reflex, stomach acid and even enzymes in your tears,
which destroy toxins. If the antigen or toxin manages to get past these
barriers, then the immune system launches a second line of defense, found in
your blood. They are white blood cells, which perform a protective function
by seeking out and destroying foreign protein antigens.
If you suffer from a low immune
system it is important to avoid things that suppress or act to destroy it,
such as a high cholesterol diet, heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium), fat,
alcohol, fried foods, food additives, obesity, industrial pollutants,
pesticides, herbicides, stress, prescription drugs, too much sunlight,
tobacco, and radiation. Even too much sunlight will lower your immune
system. Studies show that 15 minutes a day without sunscreen is beneficial,
after that it's best to slather on the sunblock if you are out longer.
Unfortunately, there is no
"magic bullet" that you can take to quickly repair your immune system, but
there are several ways to help build and support it by providing your body
with proper nutrition, regular exercise, adequate rest, relaxation and
maintaining a positive mental attitude.
Taking the following dietary
steps will help protect and build your immune system:
1. Limit saturated and trans fats, food additives and alcohol (however olive
oil is very healthy)
2. Take a good quality balanced multi-vitamin/mineral supplement daily
3. Ensure your diet includes adequate protein like fish and lean meats
4. Take 1000 mg of Vitamin C daily.
5. Eat 5 to 7 servings of vegetables and fruits daily.
6. Eat 3 to 4 servings of legumes weekly.
7. Eat 3 to 4 servings of omega-3 fatty acid-rich foods weekly
The length of time required to
re-build a low immune system of course will vary depending on your
individual situation and environmental exposure to immune system
suppressants. This is not an overnight process, for some people it can take
three months to two years. Obviously, the higher your exposure has been to
immuno-suppressants, the longer it will take to build your immune system.
Children tend to heal much more quickly than adults or the elderly. People
with
allergies and asthma will find that their asthma and allergy symptoms become
less frequent and less severe when their immune systems are stronger. It's
important to avoid using allergy and asthma drugs, which have toxic side
effects that act to lower the immune system.
Fortunately, there are natural
supplements that safely and effectively eliminate allergy and asthma
symptoms. You may want to try a natural asthma treatment which is fully
