Strengthen the Health of Your Immune System
Immune System • Main lymphoid organs of the immune system: bone marrow and the thymus • Bone marrow is responsible for the production of important immune cells like B cells, granulocytes, natural killer cells, immature thymocytes, red blood cells and platelets. • The thymus acts as the training centre to train the soldiers to kill virus, bacteria and damaged cells.

Immune System • Peripheral lymphoid organs: tonsils, spleen, lymph node, Peyer's patches, and appendix • The lymph nodes are connected with the lymph channels (yellow in the graph). The channels help to drain waste products away from the cells • Lymph nodes can be found under the jaw, in the arm pits, and in the groin, etc. • The lymph nodes are stationary checkpoints. Any virus or bacteria coming through will be captured and destroyed by the immune cells. Read more: http: //www. buzzle. com/articles/organs-of-theimmune-system. html

Common Immune System Problems 1. Immunodeficiency • One cause of immune malfunction, usually caused by hereditary factors 2. Allergic Reaction • A symptom of an overactive immune system – For example, respiratory allergy, food allergy or skin allergy • May lead to death if not treated seriously Read more: “NI Today, E. Excel Nutritional Immunology Magazine: Volume 6”
Common Immune System Problems 3. Autoimmune disease • Immune system mistakenly kills our own healthy cells – For example, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, etc • In China, about 18% of the population suffers from rheumatoid arthritis • In the US, about 2. 1 million people are affected by rheumatoid arthritis Read more: “NI Today, E. Excel Nutritional Immunology Magazine: Volume 6”
Today… • Many diseases are caused by a malfunctioning immune system; medicine and drugs not only cannot replace a healthy immune system, they can also cause many harmful side effects. • Hence, only a well-balanced and nutritious diet can enhance the functions of the immune system to better support health.
Foods to Fuel the Immune System 1. Select plant foods instead of animal products 2. Choose healthy plants 3. Use a wide variety of plants and different parts of the plant 4. Choose wholesome foods instead of isolated nutrients 5. Eat foods rich in micronutrients – phytochemicals, polysaccharides, antioxidants
The Power of Phytochemicals • Compounds produced through photosynthesis that protect plants from sunlight and give them color, flavor and aroma • Enormous health and immune system supportive properties • Fight against DNA damage
The Power of Polysaccharides • Long chains of sugars • Fights virus-infected cells • Inhibits abnormal cell growth • Stimulates NK cells and macrophages
The Power of Antioxidants • Neutralize free radicals to stop cell damage from oxidation • Delay visible signs of aging • May inhibit inflammation • Supports healthy cholesterol levels
Foods Rich In Micronutrients Fruits • Fruits, the matured ovary of a plant, generally contain seeds • Many different types of fruits exist from apples and berries to melons and citrus fruits • Fruits contain natural sugars classified as carbohydrates that the body uses for energy • Fruits also provide micro nutrients such as antioxidants, potassium and folate - also known as vitamin B-9 Source: http: //www. livestrong. com/article/338682 -list-of-foods-that-containmicro-macro-nutrients/#ixzz 2 CDBKd. FNv
Foods Rich In Micronutrients Vegetables • Most vegetables are low in fat and calories and provide a variety of different nutrients • Starchy vegetables, which include corn, peas and potatoes, provide carbohydrates as well as antioxidants, polysaccharides and phytochemicals • Many vegetables, including green leafy vegetables and beans, provide proteins also. • Due to their nutrient content, a diet rich in both fruits and vegetables can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases according to the USDA Source: http: //www. livestrong. com/article/338682 -list-of-foods-that-containmicro-macro-nutrients/#ixzz 2 CDBKd. FNv
Foods Rich In Micronutrients Grains • Grains provide energy in the form of carbohydrates and protein. • Grains also serve as a good source of micro nutrients because most of the vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, iron, magnesium and selenium, occur in the outer layers. Whole grains that contain the bran, germ and endosperm intact, serve as the best source of fiber and nutrients • Refined grains remove the bran and germ, therefore removing much of the fiber and micro nutrients Source: http: //www. livestrong. com/article/338682 -list-of-foods-that-containmicro-macro-nutrients/#ixzz 2 CDBKd.
