avoiding the regular cold

Colds along with flus are caught when we‘re encountered with a virus which enters our respiratory system by breathing in when a person sneezes or coughs, through air cooling or touching surfaces such while hand railing, door handles as well as money. Viruses can live on a surface for about six hours, which is why it’s really important to wash your hands often and thoroughly. If you’re sick and tired, covering your mouth with a new tissue when sneezing or coughing will steer clear of the further spread of germs. Viruses survive well in cooler temperatures and over this era we tend to exercise less and save money time indoors with the emitters going. Preventative medicine is still the optimal approach for maintaining optimum wellbeing. By keeping our immune technique in tip-top condition with pure immune supportive compounds, our body's better equipped to combat invading pesky insects. Here are some diet along with lifestyle suggestions to optimise immune system function.


1. Decrease stress


There is now extensive research confirming the negative impact of stress on immune function. To help minimise stress, reassess your lifestyle, take up stress-reducing hobbies such as yoga or meditation and add humour to your life - laughter has been shown to improve immune function.

2. Exercise


Regular exercise stimulates the release of ‘feel good’ hormones to reduce stress. Exercise also increases levels of white blood cells, however excessive strenuous exercise can deplete the immune system so don’t overdo it.

3. Sleep soundly

Sleep deprivation has marked changes on immune function decreasing it and making you more susceptible to infection.

4. Maintain a healthy diet


Eating healthy food provides immune cells with what they need to function properly. Immune enhancing foods include fresh, brightly coloured fruit and vegetables - garlic, onions, ginger, green tea, manuka honey, whey protein, shitake mushrooms, eggs, natural yoghurt and fish. Reduce sugar intake. Sugar compromises the function of white blood cells. Drink plenty of purified water or herbal teas to keep mucus membranes hydrated so they can keep the viruses out.

5. Decrease toxic habits


Stop smoking, limit alcohol intake and leave the junk food alone. These can all cause toxic build-up and oxidative damage, which impairs immune cell function.

6. Supplements

A deficiency in any nutrient can affect the functionality of the immune system. Nutrient deficiencies are the most common cause of immune suppression.

7. Healthy habits

Cold and flu viruses are spread by transferring droplets of fluid from your nose and mouth. To avoid this happening:
- keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth
- wash hands frequently with soap and water
- do not share cups and cutlery
- throw away used tissues (and avoid using handkerchiefs)
- cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing

8. Immune boosting nutrients

Vitamin A and Beta Carotene are extremely important for healthy mucus membranes lining the nose, mouth and throat, the potential entry point for viruses. Additionally, vitamin A enhances white blood cell activity and antibody response.
Vitamin C – has many immune boosting functions including enhancing white blood cell function, increasing the viral fighting substance interferon and supporting healthy mucus membranes.
B Vitamins – this important group of vitamins are vital for the optimal functioning of the immune system.
Iron – low iron levels are linked to decreased immune responsiveness.
Zinc – a crucial mineral for immune function and has direct anti-viral properties, inhibiting the replication of viruses.
Beta 1.3 glucan – a yeast derivative that has a potent immune cell activation action.

9. Immune boosting herbs

Astragalus – raises white blood cell levels to improve immune function.
Echinacea – an extensively researched and valuable herb to activate the immune system.

10. Anti-viral herbs

Olive leaf – the active component Oleuropein offers potent anti-viral and antioxidant actions.
Pau d’Arco – this South American herb possesses antiviral and anti-parasitic activity
Andrographis – used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine to help reduce fevers and for its anti-viral and immune stimulating properties.
