Now that we are in autumn and about to enter winter, what better time to take care of ourselves since with the sudden changes in temperature and the arrival of the cold it is typical to catch a cold or suffer from the flu. Today I want to talk to you about what you can do practically to strengthen your defenses. What it is about is helping to eliminate the obstacles that the body encounters and providing it with everything it needs to do its job, which is to take care of and protect your vehicle, that is, your body. In this article, we tell you how to strengthen the immune system.
How to strengthen the immune system
Nutrition
It is important to eat a good portion of fruits, vegetables rich in chlorophyll and seasonal vegetables as they contain essential vitamins such as C, minerals and antioxidants that are so important for strengthening the immune system. Vitamin C is a vitamin necessary to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscles and collagen, in addition to being essential for healing and the formation of white blood cells (defensive system). Consuming abundant alkalizing vegetables such as citrus fruits, berries and broccoli will help you a lot to strengthen your defenses not only due to their nutritional properties, but also because they promote the alkaline design of the body.
Avoid as much as possible foods that acidify, and therefore weaken your defenses, such as sugar that alters the intestinal microbiota, dairy products that produce mucus, red meat and industrially processed foods that contain preservatives, artificial flavorings and trans fats.
You could include a green superfood like Alkaline 16 Greens as it contains the concentrated power of nature in just 1 scoop.
Detox
During the fall and with the change of season it is good to be able to cleanse the intestines and liver at least once, to do a reset to start the year on the right foot. When we cleanse the liver and colon we boost the immune system since the blood is more oxygenated and nourished, and we promote the healthy intestinal microbiota so important for immunity.
In addition to general dietary advice, you can take Hephatic Care, a liver cleanser in liquid form that you just have to mix with water. Hephatic Care contains medicinal herbs, amino acids and essential vitamins.
And to cleanse the colon you have Phlush, a mild but very effective osmolar laxative that helps eliminate excess intestinal mucus while promoting intestinal inflammation.
And to repopulate the colon with beneficial bacteria, try vegan kefir, as it will provide you with probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics.
Other complements
In addition to taking a supplement like vitamin C, try a medicinal mushroom mix like Hungus 7 Mix. A very powerful mushroom mix, rich in protein, vitamin D and B3 (niacin), and manganese. It is composed of 7 medicinal mushrooms:
- Reishi
- Chaga
- Shiitake
- Maitake
- Lion’s Mane
- Cordyceps
- White Mushroom
Reishi is a medicinal mushroom Known as the “mushroom of immortality” or “medicine of kings”. It was acclaimed in ancient oriental medicine for stimulating the immune system, preventing heart disease, calming anxiety, relieving allergies and inflammation, among others.
The power of Sun
Try to go for a walk every day and expose yourself to the sun at least half a day, since the sun is life. In addition to being an antidepressant, it activates the production of endogenous vitamin D, so crucial to boosting the immune system. A natural vitamin D3 supplement can also be very helpful during this time.
positive emotions
The devastating effect of negative emotions and prolonged stress on our health and immune system is increasingly known.
Stress sustained over time and negative emotions such as frustration, anger, sadness and dissatisfaction weaken us in every way. Therefore, promoting positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, love and enthusiasm will make our health overflowing and our immune system strong.
Health and immunity depend on multiple internal and external factors. Taking care of yourself from the inside and out and from the outside in will give you satisfactory and visible results.
