A Strong Immune System - Stay Healthy

In our busy lives we tend to neglect our diet the most out of all things. It is the one thing we believe can suffer without doing harm. Fast food quickly replaces nutritionally dense foods and the end result is always the same. Dis-ease.

One of the best ways to avoid illness is to ensure our immune systems are up to the challenge of maintaining wellness. Our bodies produce something called 'glutathione' - and without it we could find ourselves in a heap of trouble.

According to Jimmy Gutman, the man who wrote ' GSH - Your Body's Most Powerful Protector', glutathione works like a kind of flypaper (this is how I understand things....) - it adheres bad toxins to itself to clean them out of our systems.

Free radicals, including mercury actually stick to this glutathione and then it is recycled by the body. If our body becomes overloaded with toxins and we can't produce enough of what we need to clean them out, the system is too bogged down to continue and we lose the best defence we have against free radicals. The next step will be a trip to the doctor and the label of some sort of chronic disease. Let's avoid that!

We can increase our body's defences by increasing the production of glutathione. So how do we accomplish this?

1.> Eat sulphur rich foods - onions, garlic, broccoli, kale.
2.> Move your body - get plenty of exercise and water.
3.> Supplement what you can't get - N-acetyl-cysteine NAC, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Selenium, Vitamin C & E
4. Explore 'Milk Thistle.'

There you have it - the wonderful world of glutathione! If we give our body's the tools they need to run at peak performance, they will. We have a far greater chance of successfully bettering our wellness. Avoid the dis-ease labels and keep the immune system functioning.

An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure.
