The food we eat determines how well our bodies are prepared to ward off disease and this is accomplished by supplying the body with a diet based on whole foods for whole people which delivers vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, amino acids, proteins and phytochemicals, all of which are the building blocks for healthy cells. If you have good digestion, you will increase your resistance to this and other flu strains.

The immune system is a highly specialized front-line defense that identifies, remembers, attacks and destroys disease-causing invaders and transformed or infected cells. Essentially, the immune system is the body’s means of surveillance, intended to protect it from disease by searching out and destroying any health-damaging agents. When functioning optimally, the immune system is a powerful protector. Very few viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites are able to take hold and wreak havoc if the immune system is operating at peak performance.

The fact of the matter is that vaccinations do not optimize immune function and there is much too little information about what else they do in the human body that may contribute to poor health. The point is that there are ways to prevent illness and maintain health that are so much more natural, easier, less expensive and more effective.

Viruses are not able to multiply in a healthy body. For example, we constantly have Streptococcus in our throats, yet we rarely experience Strep Throat. The same is true of flu and other viral strains. Exposure will lead to disease only if the immune system is suppressed and if the vitality of the person is weakened.

Common signs of immune systems weakness include fatigue, listlessness, repeated infections, inflammation, allergies, slow wound healing, chronic diarrhea and infections that represent an overgrowth e.g. yeast infections, oral thrush, Candida, etc.

By improving your lifestyle, your diet, and supplementing with natural herbs and supplements, you can improve your immune systems and your overall vitality.

Additional Tips for Staying Healthy

1. Get Plenty of Sleep
   To improve your resistance to any disease, the most important thing you can do is get enough rest. Your body knows how to heal, and it does this best when sleeping. It is important to get adequate rest on a daily basis, and if you begin to feel fatigue during a time of increased stress to your immune system, take naps, get to bed earlier, relax and let your body do what it does best: restore and rebuild.
2. Water
   Our bodies are 80% water. Drink plenty of water each day to stay hydrated and to allow the body to flush toxins from the blood and the liver. For best results drink pure water, not pop or juice.
3. Exercise
   Exercise increases your resistance to disease. It stimulates cleansing blood flow and increases your natural stress reducing hormones. Exercise doesn’t have to be strenuous to be beneficial. Taking a daily walk is good for your health and well being.
4. Spend time outdoors
   The healing benefits of nature are numerous. Exposure to nature and the great outdoors helps balance healthy emotions. The fresh air cleanses your lungs and the vitamin D from sunshine is great for general health. Even on a rainy day or at night, the fresh air is beneficial.
