Feeling Better ~ Feels Good

    Before leaving August  and entering into  my September Blog Post        which will include information  about how to avoid cancer  and  more    information about options to cancer treatment while tying into it’s all together. Let’s add a little about  immune response  and  the important aspects  that  keeps  it  strong  to  help  free  it  from  stress  and disease.        On the whole  your immune system  does  a  remarkable  job defending       you against disease causing microorganisms.

    However,  that doesn’t mean the effects of  lifestyle on the immune    system aren’t intriquing and shouldn’t be studied. Quite the contrary, researchers are exploring the  effects  of  diet,  exercise,  psychological  stress,  age  and  other  factors on the immune response.  Be skeptical:   many products on store shelves  claim to boost  or  support immunity, however, concepts of  boosting immunity actually makes little sense.

     Scientifically,  attempting  to boost cells  of  the immune system is complicated,  because  there  are so many different kinds of  cells in the immune system that respond to so many different microbes in so many different ways.  So which cells should you boost  and to what number?         So far,  scientists do not know that answer!   Researchers are trying to explore the effects of  a variety of  factors —  from the foods we consume        to exercise  and stress on immunity.

    Although what is known is that the aging process somehow leads                 to a reduction of immune response capability. Thereby, which in turn          contribute  to  infections,  inflammatory  diseases  and  cancer.  While      some people age healthier  than others,  no  one  knows  for  sure ‘why’        this happens.  Some scientists believe it correlates  with  a decrease in   T-cells possibly  from atrophy  producing  fewer  T – cells  to  fight  off  infections.

    Yet other researchers are looking at the connection between lack                 of  nutrition and immunity.  A elderly person deficient in some of  the essential vitamins  and  trace minerals  is  considered  micro-nutrient          mal nutritious  and  this  can  be common in the elderly.  Older people          tend  to  eat  less  and  often  have  less variety  in their diet…. while a      typical Standard American Diet (SAD) is disastrous to their health.

    One important question that always arises…. is whether dietary supplements  are  beneficial  to  maintain  a healthy immune system.          The elderly,  should always be open  to  discuss this with a physician          well – versed  in  geriatric  nutrition. There is some evidence various        micro nutrient deficiencies of  zinc, selenium, iron, copper,  folic acid         and vitamin A, B6, C, E  —  will alter immune response.

   So  what  can  you  do?    If  you  suspect  your  diet  doesn’t  provide                you with all your micro nutrient needs. Consult a Certified Nutritional Expert  for  further blood test  (analyst  of  your biochemical make up.)     Also  remember  to  hydratewater ~ water  at  least   four  pints a day      will help your immunity. Stick  to  the  liter – by – lunch  rule  that  will      help  you  reach  that  limit  later by  days  end.  While  holding  the  ice,   water  at room temperature  hydrates  the body better than cold water      and helps build a healthy lymphatic system!!!
