Immune-booster

There is a reason there will be an epidemic in a certain area, and some people catch the disease, while others, who are in close proximity with those that are infected do not. It is the body's ability to resist disease and infection, also called immunity. It is much easier for a person to prevent than to treat, therefore, ensure that you keep your immunity high at all costs by adhering to the following

NUTRITION

Immunity is made up of blood cells, which are made up of protein. These cells are produced in the bone marrow, therefore, foods that strengthen the bones should be paramount.

It is advised that people limit consumption of processed sugar, which is found in soft drinks, biscuits, and many other packed foods and the table sugar you use at home. Als, that processed sugar depletes the body of enzymes, which are very instrumental in manufacturing of the cells that boost immunity. Soya bean is one of the most complex foods, and contains most of the nutritional values that are needed for the body to produce immunity.

Other foods that are high immunity boosters are mushroom, onions, garlic, ginger and lemon. These foods are rich in selenium, which produces glutathione, which in turn takes care of oxidative stress.
Also, whole grain nuts and seeds contain essential natural oils that they supply to the enzymes, which in turn allow the immune system to operate efficiently.

Positive attitude
A quarrelsome, angry, pessimistic, irrational, easily irritated person is most likely to have a low immunity. People who are unable to handle their emotions and are easily depressed have low immunity because these emotions use up a lot of nutrients like vitamins A, B and E that are all helpful in building the immune system.

Always maintain a good relationship with family, workmates and loved ones to minimise the stress that could bring you down. Having regular meals is also important to minimise stress. Internet research has shown that when you starve yourself, your body will think it is under siege and pump out stress hormones and dehydration lowers resistence.

Laugh, laugh, laugh. Laughter is the best medicine they say. Even when you do not feel like it, laugh. It could be what saves your life. Laughter also increases circulation, stimulates digestion, lowers blood pressure and reduces muscle tension.
