The immune system is a “system” of cells produced by your skin, spleen, bone marrow, thymus, and lymph glands. Immune system cells circulate constantly in the bloodstream, always on the alert for chemical signals coming from areas of the body suffering inflammation and infection. When immune cells detect the presence of viruses, bacteria, parasitical pathogens, and inflammatory sites, they spring into action by attacking and eradicating disease-causing cells.1
An optimally functioning immune system can keep you relatively healthy and free of recurring infections. However, weak or dysfunctional immune systems may actually cause illnesses when it attacks the body for no reason. Autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis are examples of the immune system responding to nonexistent infections by essentially attacking itself. Unhealthy immune systems do not cause illness but do not have the strength to fight off infections.2, 3
Common reasons people may have a weakened immune system and experience recurring illnesses like influenza, colds, or gastrointestinal problems include:
- Stress
- Poor diet/malnutrition (eating too much processed, fried and junk foods)
- Too much alcohol intake
- Lack of sleep
- Obesity
- Not getting enough exercise
- Not practicing good hygiene
- Smoking
- Not drinking enough water/dehydration
Some foods contain specific nutrients that can help strengthen your immune system, such as:4
- Yogurt–has probiotics that increase the immune cell count in the body
- Garlic–sulfur-containing, antioxidant compounds in garlic may help reduce infections
- Red bell peppers–an excellent source of phytochemicals and beta carotene beneficial to immune system health
- Fish–crabs, clams, and lobsters contain selenium, a mineral supporting immune system cells in producing flu-fighting cytokines
With the COVID-19 pandemic spreading quickly in all 50 states and territories, it’s time to take care of your immune system to reduce your risk of contracting a coronavirus infection or if you contact it have better chances of beating it. Preliminary studies have estimated that COVID-19 is twice as contagious as the flu and impacts your respiratory system by causing a severe form of pneumonia.5
Strengthen Your Immune System with Glutathione Injections
According to study results published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, immune systems operate at peak efficiency when cells are nourished by the antioxidant glutathione. Researchers state that increasing glutathione levels in the body has a profoundly beneficial effect on immune cell responses to infections, including viral and bacterial infections.6
Although cells produce some glutathione, levels of this powerful tripeptide are often reduced by poor eating habits, stress, and aging. Most people over the age of 50 do not have enough glutathione in their bloodstream to provide adequate immune system support. This happens because the lymphatic and endocrine systems begins slowing their production of certain chemicals and hormones needed to maintain healthy glutathione levels.
In addition to supporting your immune system, glutathione also fights against free radical damage, helps the body produce vitamins E and C, and contributes to making DNA, a building block of cells and proteins.7
With a viral pandemic affecting the global community, it’s never too late to take control of your health and well-being by enhancing the ability of your immune system to fight infections as much as possible. Call Renew Health and Wellness today to learn more about the benefits of glutathione injections and what you can do to strengthen your immune system.
