Your immune system is highly efficient in providing multiple defenses - an infrastructure of white blood cells and antibodies - as your body's tissues and cells work together to resist and defend against unwanted bacteria intrusions, infections and diseases. Take care of your immune system:
- Eat a colorful, low-fat, low-sodium, low-sugar and high-fiber balanced diet featuring whole foods with zinc, selenium, calcium, potassium and magnesium
- Exercise regularly
- Reduce your stress
- Maintain a healthy body weight. If you are obese or overweight, lose the pounds
- No smoking
- No alcohol
- Drink lots of water – at least 8 eight-ounce cups per day
- Drink tea – green, oolong, black, or herbal – at least 3 cups per day
- Take daily vitamins, minerals and supplements
- Laugh often
- Be positive and self-confident – spiritual well-being is important
- Enjoy every breath of life
