In a previous article, we talked about The Importance of Your Immune System  and how it is directly linked to your overall health. Without a strong immune system, we can lose valuable down-time and not be able to enjoy our lives the way we should.

How then do we strengthen or boost our immune system? To be able to answer that question, we must first recognize that we need to feed our immune cells right, so that we can strengthen them in order to have the best fighting chance against the pathogens that have grown stronger over the years.

In his podcasts & posts, Medical Medium (MM) suggested a list of supplements (not exhaustive) and MM remedies that can be helpful in boosting our immune system ~

1. Total Immune Blend
2. Cat’s Claw
3. Zinc
4. L-Lysine
5. Olive Leaf

While supplementation and remedies can be very useful in helping us build up our immune system and make us feel better during short bouts of illnesses, having a strong robust immune system in the long run will take more than just consuming supplements. And if you feel overwhelmed by the list, we suggest rotating and using what works for you. It would make sense to take a holistic approach by incorporating some common immune system strengthening techniques for a total approach to a strong immune health ~

1. Getting Adequate Sleep
2. Eat a Diet that is low in fat and rich in fruits and vegetables.
3. Get adequate exercise.
4. Avoid alcohol and smoking.
5. Getting enough sunshine & fresh air.

While it does sound like a lot to take in and certainly doesn’t happen overnight, adopting some of these techniques can go a long way in strengthening our immune systems in the longer run.
