Today, I’m going to mention 3 major toxins to avoid ingesting in order to help your body boost its immunity fast.
Last time, you heard how complex your immune system. It’s clear from what I talked about, mainly that your whole body is involved in immune defense, whether it comes through your nose/sinuses, your stomach, when you scratch your skin, or even when something soaks into our skin, your body goes into high alert, your adrenal glands fire, and your immune system goes to work helping your body defend itself.
The problem in today’s world, it’s often weakened and compromised. How is it compromised?
To make it short and sweet, it’s compromised because it’s overloaded. Unloading the stresses on your immune system is the fastest way to strengthen it.
One way is to help your body detox from the toxic load on it. The first step is to take in more water to help flush out the toxins. It has the added benefit of helping your skin look smoother, fresher and younger, help your brain function with clarity and cognitive abilities, help your muscles work better and promote your bone marrow to produce the immune fighting white blood cells.
Introduction to Step 2 on DetoxingToday I’m going to mention 3 major toxins to avoid ingesting and next time we’ll talk about your environmental toxins and their effect on your system. Then you’ll hear about your microbiomes and how they help your body defend itself. There’s a lot more coming in the upcoming broadcasts.
Smoking is a major toxin, not just cigarettesFirst thing to cut down or cut out is smoking. Anything that is producing ash and is laden with toxins, and breathing it into your lungs compromises your ability to get oxygen from the air. It can be cigars, cigarettes, smog, second hand smoke, pot smoking, or breathing in campfire ash.
Compromising your lungs deprives you of oxygenOne of the major problems with the current pandemic is the virus affects the lung tissue in such a way that your body is starved of oxygen, and it doesn’t even know it’s happening until it’s too late. Some people brought into the hospital were measured with only a 70% oxygenation in their blood, and they didn’t even realize it. A lot of the people were complaining that it felt like an elephant was sitting on their chest.
The problem with smoking anything is that it is associated with emphysema and heart disease, both on the compromised list of people in the current pandemic.
You can also see how it affects your systems by looking at long time smokers and how their lack of getting enough oxygen affects them for yourself. You often see crepe-y skin, grayed, and looking older than their age.
What you see on the outside is also happening on the inside. Imagine opening up someone, like a surgeon does, and seeing all your organs sagging, wrinkled and greyed.
So it isn’t just the lungs anymore, it’s the heart, liver, adrenal glands, pancreas, kidneys, brain, and skin and more. I know how difficult it is to quit smoking, one of the most difficult. I’ve seen people try it and few succeed. Those are the ones who get to live past 60 or survive a pandemic like this one.
Excess alcohol consumption affects two of your most important organs
The second thing to cut down on is alcohol consumption. Although you may have heard of resveratrol, a red wine constituent that helps promote heart health. The studies conducted in Europe were with very low alcohol content red wine, and you can now buy this compound without the alcohol.
There are a LOT of wine drinkers out there, they are clubs, wine tours, in both Europe and California, where people are totally into it. They ta
