Many nutrients play important roles in immune strength. Carotenoids are a perfect example of critical, immune function regulating nutrients. Science first demonstrated their amazing powers more than two decades ago when researchers proved that dietary carotenoid status “modulates” immunity. Their data showed that when carotenoids are low in the diet immune capacity is also low. Conversely, when carotenoids are abundant in the diet immune capacity is high.The seminal study proving this effect using whole food derived carotenoids came when researchers from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) proved in human clinical trials that GNLD Carotenoid Complex had the ability to boost immune capacity as much as 37% in just 20 days.
• It’s all about our cells! Actually, it’s always all
about our cells. Healthy, vigorous, and efficient cells are at much less risk of being invaded and infected than weak, inefficient, sluggish cells. Additionally, our immune system is based on cells; our immune “warriors”, like the lymphocytes and macrophages, are themselves cells. Like all cells, how well they function is directly related to their ability to take in nutrients, eliminate waste, and do their jobs. And that is related directly to their membranes. Feeding your cells supports membrane function and thus your immune system too.
By practicing these simple but important day-to-day
steps, you can reduce your risk of contracting H1N1, or should you contract it, speed your recovery.
