Protecting Your Immune System
Our modern civilization functions because of the numerous technologies and machines that sustain it. Power plants, automobiles, personal computers, cellular phones, even fast food restaurants-without machinery and technology everything would fall apart. Still, we constantly repair and renew our machines, as they will always break down without the aid of human hands. As living beings, we do not simply go the store and purchase a new body when ours breaks down. Rather, we rely upon our own bodies to repair themselves, something they have been doing for tens of thousands of years. A One vital component of this process is our internal security detail: the Human Immune System.
The immune system is a network of bacteria, cells, and organs-from the simple to the complex-which seeks out and destroys any foreign, harmful material that invades the body. In tandem, it eradicates dead cells while eliminating mutated and/or possibly cancerous cells. There are two sub-strata that comprise the human immune system: bone marrow and the thymus. Bone marrow generates leukocytes (white blood cells) which pervade the body , hunting down and eliminating dangerous invaders. The thymus is a small organ, positioned just above the heart, that trains B cells (cells that create antibodies to battle infections), T cells (cells that are able to recognize specialized infections), "killer cells" (capable of locating and killing cancerous cells), and "eating cells" (destroyers of random debris and possibly harmful microorganisms). Overall, the immune system works with the human body's systems to protect it and maintain it, allowing it to function smoothly.
There are a plethora of ways to boost the immune system, via both homeopathic and modern means.
For thousands of years, Indians have utilized a number of herbs to increase the power of their own immune systems. In addition to Hoodia, try using ashwagandha, tulasi, triphala, amalaki, shatavari, gokshura, lahsuna, or sahadevi.
Stress is a major contributor to a weakened immune system and the sickness that results. Meditation and yoga are two excellent ways to both eliminate and greatly reduce stress on the mind and its effects on the body.
Multivitamins are perhaps the easiest way to boost your immune system. They are extremely useful and easy to take on a regular basis. Additionally, there are an almost infinite number of vitamins and minerals available for purchase, although it is important to find out what your system requires before starting your own regimen.
Getting enough sleep is the most natural way to sustain your immune system. Be sure to get, at the barest of minimums, six hours of sleep a night. If you get any less than that, your T cells begin to drop rather drastically, inviting illness and infection into your body. Moreover, once you are ill you tend to get less sleep, whereby your immune system is weakened further.
Create a rhythm for your body to follow by going to sleep at the same time every day. Your immune system will follow this rhythm, increasing its efficiency. Try to do the same activity-read a book, listen to music; whatever works-every night before bed. Ensure that the area where you sleep is quiet, dark, and comfortable. Do not bring items from work or other stress-inducing things from your life to bed. Moreover, do not consume anything other than water for two hours before bed, and do not exercise for three hours before going to bed. - 17269
