Our bodies contain a trillion different antibodies, antiviral agents and immune cells that are ready to help fight foreign invaders that threaten to decrease your defenses and leave you open to illness.
So why do we still get sick? Because your immune system fails to react quickly enough and then your immune system gets attacked and worn out.
In order to fight back against everyday toxins in your air, water and food, there are many natural solutions to not only boost your immune system back into action… but help maintain immunity for increased protection against bacteria and viruses.
One way is to avoid common triggers, foods and actions that can weaken your immune system such as too much coffee, stress and anxiety, over-the-counter and prescription medications, acid overload, sugar, alcohol, tobacco smoke and lack of sleep.
Diet plays a much larger role in the immune system than most folks realize.
