Introduction

Y our immune system is vital for preventing and fighting off diseases. This is especially important with the current coronavirus pandemic. Our lifestyles usually dictate the health of our immune system and if you want to improve this vital component of your body then you need to be prepared to make some difficult changes. Boosting your immune system starts by understanding what it does and how it works. I have a chapter on this that explains everything in a simple to understand way.

Once you know how much your immune system protects you, it will be easier for you to make the changes that you need to make. Some things in life cause harm to your immune system and if you indulge in these then you need to stop.

Smoking and drinking alcohol are high on the list here which will probably not surprise you. But there are other things that you need to avoid as well that we cover in detail. The right diet will provide the nutrients and vitamins that your immune system needs to stay in tip top condition and work hard for you.

Changing your diet is a big step to take, but if you are eating the wrong things then you need to do this for the sake of your immune system. There are supplements available that can provide essential vitamins and minerals that perhaps your diet cannot.

I provide you with all of the information that you need to know about supplements in this guide. Stress can negatively impact your immune system and we have a whole chapter dedicated to how you can reduce the stress in your life. Exercising regularly and getting the right amount of sleep are also very important and I cover this off for you as well. Keeping your body clear of toxins is something else that will help your immune system and we have some great detoxification techniques for you in this guide. Finally, I can explain why essential oils are beneficial for your immune system and the best ones to use.

Your immune system is an amazing machine. It is responsible for keeping your body safe from outside invaders like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and toxins. There are two main parts of your immune system: the part you were born with (innate or non-specific system) and the part you develop from exposure to the environment (adaptive acquired, or specific system). Your immune system is made of various organs, cells, and proteins skin cells, blood, bone marrow, tissues and organs like the thymus and lymph glands.

A strong immune system is your best defence against illness and infection. Without it, you would have no way of fighting off harmful substances or changes within the body.

Your immune system has three main tasks:

To fight pathogens (disease-causing germs) like viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites and get them out of your body.

To recognize and neutralize harmful substances from the environment.

To fight disease-causing changes in the body, like cancer cells.

Your immune system is activated by antigens things the body does not recognize as belonging there. These are proteins on the surfaces of bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

When the immune system cells come into contact with these antigens, a whole series of processes is stimulated in your immune system.

The good news is that once your immune system comes in contact with a germ, it will recognize that germ if it sees it again. This is why vaccines work to protect you against certain diseases. In this special report, I will take a look at the top all-natural, safe immune boosters that everyone can take advantage of, to strengthen your immune response, increase your resistance to disease and infection, and help you recover more quickly if you do become ill.

Lets begin!

Why you need to boost your immune system

D o you always find that when the colds and flu do the rounds you seem to get them while others around you are unaffected? If this is the case for you then you should definitely take steps to strengthen your immune system. Most people seem to pay more attention to their immune systems during the winter months, when colds and flu are at peak levels. But you need to understand that your immune system works hard for you every day of the year and it does a lot more than just protect you from colds and flu.

Your Immune System is very Precious

Every one of us has this wonderful thing called an immune system designed to keep us healthy and well. It protects us 24/7 without us even realizing it. There are a number of things that you can do to boost your immune system as you will discover in later chapters of this guide. But there are also a number of things that can damage your immune system and its ability to protect you against bacteria, pathogens, and viruses. At the time of writing this guide, the world is gripped by the coronavirus pandemic so having a strong immune system is vital.

Do you have a Weak Immune System?

A lot of people have weak immune systems and do not even know it. If you do have a weakened immune system, then you must do something about it fast. There are a few signs that you can watch out for to see if your immune system is weak:

Diseases that Weaken the Immune System

There are some diseases that will weaken your immune system.

Some of these are really well known such as AIDS and HIV. These are auto-immune diseases that significantly damage your immune system unless you get the right treatment.

Some cancers will weaken your immune system too. There are also people that are born with disorders affecting their immune systems that make them more deficient than other peoples. At the time of writing there was no cure for this type of disorder so anyone that has this must manage it for life.

Getting the same Infections over and over

If you get the same infections over and over again on a regular basis then this is definitely a sign of a weakened immune system.

For people with normal or strong immune systems, getting these infections will only occur a small number of times in their life.

To be more specific, do you regularly suffer from a strep throat or pneumonia? If so, then this probably means that your immune system is weaker than it should be.
