Prevent Immune System Decline

Our immune systems decline as we age

If you are over 40 you are losing immune power each decade. If you do not have perfect GI tract health, you also have an impaired immune system. You don’t have to go through life getting one cold after the next and you certainly don’t need a diagnosis of cancer – something that most people don’t know is largely preventable. It is possible to boost your immune system back to where it was when you were 30.

Ways to boost your immune system

1) A good diet is imperative

You should be eating a perfect immune stimulating diet. Highly inflammatory foods such as processed foods, fast foods, sugary foods, and starchy foods will depress your immune system. Also know that there are immune-stimulating spices and foods too! These include shitake and maitake mushrooms, raw onions and garlic, cayenne pepper (which is a food that speeds up metabolism), ginger, wasabi, and horseradish. Anything spicy will boost your immune system.

2) Fix inflammation, oxidative stress, and glycation

These issues are covered in Module 1: The Basics of Disease Prevention.
