The Center for Disease Control has issued a strong warning to stop over-using antibiotics. This push comes in the form of guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which now believes that the overuse of antibiotics is contributing to an alarming rise in the number of diseases that are impervious to drugs.
So what can we do to keep our immune systems at maximum efficiency? …….5 things.
1. Eat healthy foods ..like fresh vegetables, salads and fresh fruits
2.Avoid the foods that weaken the immune system like sugar, alcohol, chips and snacks
3. Stay active.. play ..run.. exercise… practice yoga
4. Get some sleep .. 8 hours of it .. that’s when your body repairs
5 Take supplements that help the body strengthen and rebuild the cells of the immune system like the following…
Scientifically Advanced Vita-Lea (with and w/out iron)
Provides a comprehensive balance of essential nutrients. Vita-Lea’s bioavailability has been proven through independent clinical research. Contains gentler, better-tolerated forms of zinc and protein-bound trace minerals for easier digestion.
Vita-C, 500 mg. Sustained Release
Antioxidant property protects the body against free radicals. Boosts the immune system, infection fighter, natural antihistamine, increases the resistance to ligament and tendon injury. Vitamin C is depleted by stress such as infections, illness, fatigue, surgery, anxiety, pollution and extremes in temperature. As we age, there is a greater need to regenerate collagen which requires more vitamin C.
Nutriferon
Developed and extensively tested by immunologists in Japan, contains an exclusive, proprietary blend of natural plant extracts from pumpkin seeds, safflower flowers, plantago seeds, and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds, which has been clinically proven to support and stimulate the natural immune response process at the cellular level. Supports and stimulates the immune system, by increasing the activity of macrophages and inducing natural interferon production. Optimizes immune response against environmental irritants and airborne substances (as with allergies and asthma). Completely safe – no adverse reactions to these plant extracts ever recorded.
Premium Garlic Complex
Two-way odor control with a gentle, temperature-controlled drying process and with a pleasant blend of spearmint and rosemary extracts. Historically, has been used for congestion, asthma, sinusitis and allergies, colds, flu and pneumonia, sore throat and bronchitis. Has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and is effective against yeast infections (Candida). Nature’s strongest natural antibiotic.
Optiflora
This advanced colon care system contains Acidophilus and Bifidus, essential friendly bacteria that ideally live in our lower intestines. Research shows, however, that most adult Americans only retain about 15% of these microflora, rendering our bodies (and especially our immune systems) vulnerable to toxic build-up. The Optiflora system also includes the prebiotic FOS and inulin to provide nutrients that selectively feed the good microflora for rapid colonization. It is the only product of its kind to guarantee delivery of live beneficial microflora to the intestines, due to its unique triple encapsulation that protects these essential bacteria from the acidity of the stomach.
Defend & Resist Complex (Echinacea)
Has become the most prominent herb used both in the United States and in Europe. Activates the immune system, promotes production of white blood cells, enhances resistance to infection, viral and bacterial, especially flu and herpes; reduces mucus. Works best when started at the onset of cold or flu symptoms. Can be used effectively for up to 10 days at a time.
Other nutrients to consider:
CarotoMax
Essential for healthy mucosal membranes in the digestive, respiratory and reproductive tracts. Reduces susceptibility to infection, allergies, bronchitis, asthma, ear infection and skin disorders. Contains other naturally occurring carotenoids such as alpha carotene and other types of beta-carotene.
FlavoMax
These powerful antioxidants increase the power of the immune system to fight infection, are natural antihistamines, are antiviral and antibacterial because they interfere with the actual mechanism of some of these organisms, lower risk of many cancers including gastric cancer.
Vita-E 400 IU and Vita-E Complex
Anti-oxidant that protects against cell damage. Helps to prevent heart disease, Parkinson’s; protects lungs from air pollution, protects cells from premature aging, helps cystic breast disease, improves circulation, promotes healing. Our immune systems decline with age. Vitamin E enhances immune responsiveness in the elderly. Shaklee’s Vita-E is in a natural d-alpha form and is more biologically active than synthetic vitamin E. Provides the full spectrum of tocopherols found in nature
