With all the current hysteria surrounding swine flu, it can be difficult to sort good health information from bad. For the vast majority of people, influenza – of any variety, swine or otherwise – presents no serious health danger, and the best thing we can do to help protect ourselves is simply stay healthy.
In this special report, we take a look at a few simple ideas of how to boost your immune system naturally – obviously we recommend that you do further research to see what works best for you.
1. Antioxidants such as vitamins C, A and E have been shown to support the immune system and they also weaken the side effects which the immune system’s response has on the body e.g. runny nose. We should all be getting some of these as part of our diet, but supplements are a great way to top up. Click here to see the wide range of natural supplements offered by Forever.
2. Garlic doesn’t just kill vampires! The antioxidant properties of garlic are widely known, whether eaten as part of a meal or taken in capsule form. Forever’s Garlic-Thyme also includes the additional antioxidant benefits of thyme.
3. Raw fruit and vegetables generally have much higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fibre and enzymes than their cooked counterparts and will do wonders for your overall health as well as strengthening your immune system. Conversely, too much sugar, fat and alcohol adversely affects the immune system due to their damaging effect on white blood cells.
4. Over a century ago, Echinacea - a native American plant - was recognized as a natural infection fighter. It’s available in capsule form and is regularly prescribed by doctors in Germany as a cold and flu remedy. Forever’s Echinacea Supreme is an excellent source, and also includes goldenseal.
5. Simple herbal teas, such as ginger or cinnamon, are great immune-boosters, the stronger the better, so remember to brew it for a while (take a look at our Aloe Blossom Herbal Tea – a lovely cinnamon based hot drink).
6. Getting enough protein in your diet, drinking plenty of water, getting a good night’s sleep and observing basic hygiene will do wonders for your immune system. It may sound like plain common sense, but many of us could do better in one or more of these areas.
7. One of Forever’s best products when it comes to fighting infection is Bee Propolis, nature's finest antibiotic.
8. Finally, of course, let’s not forget Aloe Vera. Packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and numerous other beneficial substances, it acts as both an immune system booster and a natural antiseptic. The best way to take it is by drinking it – click here to see the range of aloe vera gel drinks offered by Forever.
We hope you’ve found this useful, and if you’d like to share any flu-beating natural remedies with us, we’d love to include these in later newsletters!
Until our next newsletter, stay well.
Cheers
