Boost
Your Immune System for Wellness and Healing
by Bryan Flournoy
The immune system is the first in the body to react, integrate, resolve
and evolve. It is a highly integrated system using resources from the
entire body to orchestrate its general and specific roles. As we age, the
immune system picks up the pace on behalf of the organ systems' decline in
efficiency. Proper nutrition can have a profound effect on the immune
system when it is battling disorders associated with nutritional
deficiencies or conditions interfering with the body's use of nutrients.
Treating Daily Stress:
Stress in life can come from a variety of sources ranging from
environmental to physical to emotional. Pesticide and herbicide residues
on food, industrial and automotive emissions and heavy-metal content in
public water are just a few environmental hazards that bombard our bodies
on a daily basis. We are constantly exposed to free radicals from our
immediate surroundings and, due to global food importation, other regions,
as well.
Free radicals are unstable electrons created during the process of
oxidation. In our bodies, oxidation is a natural process associated with
aging and metabolizing foods. However, it also occurs from drinking
alcohol, exposure to pollution and radiation, smoking, iron overload and
extreme exercise. During oxidation, a free radical takes an electron from
another source in order to become stable. This can result in a host of
problems including the onset of Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular
disease, cancer, cataracts, arthritis, macular degeneration or immune
dysfunction, just to name a few. However, the inclusion of antioxidants
through diet and supplementation can be a powerful line of defense against
the effects of free radicals.
Anti-oxidants donate electrons to these scavengers, leaving cellular
integrity intact. Vitamins A, C and E are such anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidant
minerals and the trace-metal subgroup do the same by directly transmuting
free-radical contaminants into less toxic substances. Phytochemicals are
plant-derived anti-oxidants, including carotenoids in carrots, isoflavones
in soy and flavenoids in fruits.
A diet rich in colorful, organic fruits and vegetables (the antioxidants
are found in the pigments) allows the protective components to become
synthesized within cells so that direct oxidation is prevented. In
addition, many minerals and trace metals are also chemical catalysts,
maximizing enzyme efficiency, subsequently enhancing the vitality of
individual cells throughout.
The emotional stress of daily living can compound and complicate
environmental stresses by trapping poisons within the body. As tea or in
capsules, valerian root, passionflower and chamomile help reduce emotional
stress. Yoga, meditation and guided imagery also are effective stress
reducers.
Fighting Infection
In addition to treating daily stress to the body, phytochemicals can
assist in fighting viral infection. Viruses do not have genetic material
for replication. Because of this, they must invade other cells in order to
reproduce. They hijack the host cell's DNA and then clone more viruses.
Phytochemicals, specifically flavenoids, interrupt this process. Bacteria
already have DNA, so they invade tissues to exploit nutritional resources
for colony growth. Scientists suggest that flavenoids halt bacterial
replication by dismantling its DNA.
In addition, the herb Echinacea is evidenced to improve a cell's efficacy
in sharing viral immunity with other cells. Echinacea also prevents
certain bacteria from releasing mucus-dissolving enzymes. This benefits
cells that line breathing passages, which secrete mucus as a defense
barrier. When used in combination with phytochemicals, these natural
products may kill bacteria resistant to our most capable antibiotics.
Thick sinus and chest congestion succumb to natural substances in hot
foods like chili peppers, radishes and hot mustard. Eyebright, peppermint
or nettle tea can also be considered to relieve irritated, congested eyes
and sinuses. Zinc oxide, witch hazel and oatmeal baths soothe itchy,
irritated skin. For an annoying cough, try licorice or eucalyptus.
Antibiotics kill bacteria indiscriminately. Therefore, the naturally
occurring good bacteria in the body's digestive system gets wiped out,
too, when antibiotics are used. This situation makes overgrowth of other
microbes possible and diarrhea can result. Prevent diarrhea and
bacterial-yeast infections (secondary to microbial overgrowth) by
supplementing with the healthy bacteria found in probiotics and dairy with
live-active cultures.
General Immune Support
Vitamin A and herbal Echinacea stimulate production and function of
macrophages that kill common germs, which often go unnoticed. Minerals,
such as zinc, become incorporated into hormones, stimulating production of
targeted infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes, which appear to have
improved cellular memory in identifying the particular microbes they
destroy.
All immune cells are protected with outer membranes rich in fatty acids.
Although fatty acids are especially vulnerable to oxidation, this is not
the case for omega-fatty acids. Dietary supplementation rich in
omega-fatty acids ensures that immune cells withstand oxidation.
Antioxidant vitamins and minerals protect immune cells, too. They
neutralize free radicals by becoming less harmful free radicals
themselves. Through the use of enzymes, trace metals such as selenium
neutralize these less harmful free radicals. Also, when diets are
wholesome the body stores excess amounts of some antioxidants, such as
beta-carotene, a provitamin that converts to vitamin A when needed.
The immune system gives its best effort, often in ways that go unnoticed
until infection occurs. Nurturing and protecting the immune system through
holistic measures helps the entire body to function optimally. Be sure to
seek out the advice of your medical professional first, and then consider
the multitude of ways that you can support your body in times of both
sickness and health.
