More than ever we have a very pressing need to keep our immune system as healthy as possible. It is almost impossible to enjoy optimal health without the proper immune response to all the new health challenges.
Wow, in 2004, a paper released by the U.S. Health and Human services Department, infectious disease specialists already warn that we will need to close schools, limit travel and ration medications.THIS WAS HOW MANY YEARS BEFORE THE H1N1?
A really good place to start building your immune system is with your diet! Start by eating more raw fresh fruits and vegetables.And you know what.That's not an option for your kids to make.That's an option the parents have to make.
- Cut as many simple sugars from your diet as possible.
- Drink lots of water every day.
And, also, because our soil is so depleted in nutrients, and because of the many environmental issues and high stress, it is also a good idea to give you added backup by taking nutritional supplements.
And now, a word for mommies: I have friend whom I admire very much. She is a single mom, two kids, one eleven and one eighteen. This mom is working full time. One thing she has never managed to do is to feed her kids what they should eat, instead she has always fed them what they want to eat.
But, all of us, with or without kids need to change this habit.It has been proven that nutrients, antioxidants can help boost our immune system.
I heard on one of the news stations that the reason children are getting the H1N1 virus is because their own immune system is not built up. They also do not have the same antibodies that the older generation has.
Let us give our kids the best possible chance to fight this virus. Start right now by feeding them the proper nutritional food, even if it makes you the bad guy!
My friend said I should talk to her kids so I could explain and lecture them why they need to eat the proper food.I told her; sometimes kids do not understand and want to go with their cravings. That's why they have mommies. Just eat right, be an example, and as life moves forward under your new healthy lifestyle, keep talking to them.
With all these new viruses out there, we have to do the utmost to protect ourselves. Nothing is guaranteed, but we must try. Antioxidants, phytonutrients and all those good things will at least give us a fighting chance
