How much could your Immune System take?

Answer 1

Your Immune System is fascinating, complex and very powerful and it can take a "beating". But over time and many factors, we can weaken our immune system, creating more risks of you getting sick or inheriting a disease.

To understand the power of the human immune system, all that you have to do is to take a look at something once it dies. When death occurs, the immune system along with everything else shuts down. In a matter of hours, the body is invaded by all sorts of germs that normally have little effect when the immune system is working properly. In just a short time these organisms to completely dismantle the body and carry it away, until all that remains is a skeleton. Obviously your immune system is doing something amazing to keep all of that dismantling from happening when someone is alive. When we do not take care of our bodies, our immune system weakens, and the result is sickness and disease. There are many factors that suppress the human immune system, and if we avoid them, we can boost your immune system and prevent you from becoming ill.

There are times, however, that we cannot prevent sickness and modern medicine may include antibiotic or some other measure of medication to attack and kill the offending organism. Although there is a time and place for prescription drugs, the emphasis should be with "preventitiveness" and the building of the body's immune system in order to prevent sickness at all. All the power of health and healing is built within the human immune system. One fact remains clear and simple. Your body requires specific nutrients through unprocessed food, right balance of sleep and exercise, good air and water quality, a relatively stress free lifestyle, and a healthy relationship with their Creator. By providing your body with the right tools, without a doubt it can virtually heal, repair, regenerate, and restore optimal health.

Here are some factors that weaken your immune system.

Toxins: Most people today have excess accumulation of toxins and waste material in their bodies causing their body to be acidic and adding stress to their immune system function. The two main reasons for this is

1) People are putting huge amounts of toxins (mostly unknowingly) in their bodies on a regular basis and

2) their elimination channels are clogged, slow or sluggish.

3) toxins like "junk" food, medications(drugs), sugars, excess alcohol, allergens all stress your immune system, thus making it weak and unable to fight the germs when exposed to them.

Nutritional Deficiency:

When your body lacks nutrition, you will have a weak immune system.

Since our bodies can not produce nutrients needed for optimal health, quality food plays a major factor in keeping our cells healthy and our immune system strong. Food not only provides energy to your body, but all the nutrients that are essential for a healthy immune system.

Lack of drinking healthy water:

Dehydration means the cells just simply do not have enough fluid. Dehydration cause medical problems including pain, Arthritis, Asthma, and Allergies, among other medical issues. It can affect your energy and your sleep, and the ability to get toxins/waste material out of the body.

Lack of physical activity:

Lack of regular, moderate exercise appears to slow down cleansing the body of certain toxins and waste products

Lack of sufficient rest:

lack of sleep will stress your immune system and thus increase the risk of catching a bug.

The good news is that I think you can help control or reverse your condition by doing as many as possible of the following list.

Chronic stress

People who are under chronic stress have lower than normal white blood cell counts, are more vulnerable to colds and other viruses and take longer to recover from them. They are more likely to experience more severe symptoms than people who are not under a great deal of stress.
