The human immune system is very complex and begins its development before birth through the mother’s antibodies. Our immune system continues to evolve and adapt as we go through life.
Every time we are exposed to a different pathogen our immune system responds by building antibodies of its own, which are much like a photograph that the thymus gland keeps on file so that it can better respond to the same pathogen in the future.
There are many parts to our immune system, there is the inborn knowledge and the acquired immunity from life’s experiences. There are T cells and B cells, which are supported by the beneficial bacteria in the colon.
The thymus gland, just behind your breastbone, is the heart of your immune system where all the experiences you have had are stored. The immune system, like other internal systems in the body, requires support in the form of lifestyle and nutritional input.
Adequate rest and the successful management of excess stress are key lifestyle factors that help regenerate our immune system function. In addition, many key nutrients are absolutely essential for the proper maintenance of the immune system and its ability to respond rapidly to invading microbes.
The speed at which our immune system can identify foreign pathogens, build antibodies, and destroy the organism, will make a difference between whether we get sick at all or whether it is mild or severe.
The longer it takes for your immune system to bolster its defenses against an invader the sicker you are likely to become before it’s over. From the nutrition point of view if you wish to help support your immune system it is essential that you have adequate intestinal flora or bacteria.
Additionally, there are many nutrients, primarily from the plant kingdom, such as a beta glucan and specific mushroom extracts that have been shown to both feed and stimulate immune function in response.
By providing your immune system with adequate rest, stress management, a healthy diet, and key nutrients, you can help to ensure that your body is in the best possible position to defend and protect you whenever it becomes necessary. Our Natural Immune Booster formula provides these many nutrients and may play a significant part in overall immune support.
