Vitamin C plays a crucial role in boosting your immune system because they help to encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against viral and bacterial infections. An antioxidant is a chemical compound that protects cells from the effects of free radicals, which can cause damage to parts of cells. Antioxidants in supplementation with vitamin C help to increase the activation of cells involved in virus immunity. Scientists have also found that guavas contain certain bioflavonoid components that can be used as ingredients to create drugs that can inhibit and prevent deadly new viruses.
Antioxidants high in zinc and vitamin C can actually help shorten the length and severity of the common cold caused by the rhinovirus. Polysaccharides, a type of carbohydrate not only provide energy, but also enhance the body’s ability to resist disease and support a healthy immune system. Good intestinal bacteria called probiotics in our digestive system is the source of where a healthy immune system originates from. 2 important amino acids from proteins called l-arginine and l-glutamine are both the building blocks for healthy immunity and help to reduce inflammation in the body caused by viral and bacterial infections.
Fermented foods are extremely important for maintaining a healthy immune system because they help to maintain an excellent balance of good and bad bacteria in our digestive system. It is significant to note that the start of optimal immunity to viruses and bacteria begins in our gut. Good bacteria help to maintain a healthy mucosal barrier in our gastrointestinal tract and act as antimicrobials that fight bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. This prevents inflammation which is the primary symptom of all bacterial and viral infections. Not only does a healthy gut flora protect you from pathogens, it also develops a tolerance for beneficial microbes. Consequently, the immune system and gut flora have a mutual relationship which is highlighted by the fact that around 80% of your body’s immune cells are found in your gut.
Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants. Diets rich in polyphenols strengthen T-cell functions to bring about the production of systemic and gut antibodies. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that attack viruses and infected host cells. Antibodies are protective proteins produced by the immune system that recognize specific viruses and bacteria, and they latch onto them in order to remove them from the body.
Insects are excellent sources of vitamin B12 which can have more than 3 times the amount found in salmon. They also contain more than twice the amount of iron found in spinach. Both of these vitamins are essential to maintaining a healthy immune system. Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps keep the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make healthy DNA. Because DNA are the building blocks of life and in nearly every cell, it is absolutely crucial to keep our T-cells and amino acid proteins in optimal conditions in order to fight viruses and bacteria effectively. The role of iron in immunity is necessary for immune cells to rapidly increase in numbers and for their maturation, particularly lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell.
As you can see, our bodies are beautifully created in a sophisticated and complicated manner. Therefore, it is very important to keep our immune systems in optimal health in order to preserve and defend our bodies from all viruses and bacteria. Our bodies are true blessings that are meant to be well-nourished by natural organic foods found all throughout nature.
