Immunity - How Can You Get It?

3 easy tips
A few healthy tips below to help you boost your immune system. Incorporating any of the following, or better yet, all three, into your daily routine can go a long way in strengthening your body's defenses.

1.   Shake Your Way To Improved Lymph Flow 
   First is a super easy (and free) immune-boosting activity that anybody can do just about anywhere. It involves improving the circulation of your lymph system with physical movement. You can do this is by shaking your body in an up-and-down motion for a couple of minutes every morning. (It's an ancient Tai chi practice, but works for us modern techies too!) Similar effects are seen with the use of a rebounder trampoline, vibration plate, and other forms of exercise like swimming and yoga. When your lymph flow improves, toxins are more easily cleared out of your system; and the "G-forces" created by rapid up and down movement, sweating, and stretching enhance this process.
   
   
   
2. Eat Antibacterial, Antiviral, and Antifungal Superfoods
   Next, incorporate as many immune "superfoods" (coconut oil, garlic, medicinal mushrooms, chia seeds, oregano products, etc.) to provide antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal compounds that support your immune system. Plant foods rich in fiber can provide pre-biotics for the immune-supporting pro-biotic bacteria in the gut to eat. Many vegetables, eeven when consumed with the dirt still on them if you dare, will then add soil-based pro-biotics that diversify the gut and support the immune system. You can also get an additional gut boost by adding in fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, and natto for a concentrated and diverse source of probiotics. Google can help you find simple and cheap ways to make them at home with all that extra time you probably have on your hands!
   
   
   
3. Take Immune-Boosting Supplements
   And finally, certain immune-boosting supplements can provide a substantial dose of antibodies such as Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, and IgM), all of which help to fight pathogens in the intestinal tract. Colostrum can help you with this. The growth factors in colostrum stimulate the gut to patch up holes created by excess inflammation and damage by toxin exposure thereby restoring a leaky gut lining to normal permeability levels. Also garlic, omega-3 fatty acids (nuts, wild salmon, mackerel, flaxseed oil) and zinc-rich foods (oysters, crab, lean meats) can help.
