Here is a List of Ways to Strengthen Your Immune System:
1. Take a Good Vitamin C Supplement
Liposomal Vitamin C is the most readily absorbed by the body. It is derived from sunflower seeds. This supplement plays a vital role in supporting the immune system, joints and arteries to heal and function properly. Liposomes are tiny “nano-size” fat soluble vehicles for carrying nutrients to the body’s cells. Taking Liposomal Vitamin has a much higher absorption rate by the body with up to 90% being readily absorbed by the cells.
2. Increase Your Intake of Plant Based Foods
There is no doubt that eating a healthy balanced diet can contribute to your ability to fight allergens, bacteria and viruses. With more and more people opting for healthy plant-based alternatives it is becoming easier to source these options at restaurants and grocery stores.. Green leafy vegetables and healthy plant-based protein options like chickpeas, nuts and quinoa not only assist your body to stay in an alkaline state but research suggests that people who eat these diets are healthier. ‘Sixty-three percent of all deaths globally in 2008 were due to non-communicable chronic diseases and conditions, such as certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes type 2, says the World Health Organization. Poor diets are major contributory factors in all of them.
In regions of the world where plant-based diets are more common, the national or regional rates for these types of diseases are considerably lower, compared to areas where animal-based diets are more prevalent.’ – Medical News Today.
If you do eat meat look to choose a healthier organic, grass fed option.
3. Take a CBD Tincture Daily
It is very beneficial to your immune system to implement supplements into your wellness routine. Products such as CBD tinctures are believed to help the immune system by bringing our bodies to homeostasis. When in this state, our white blood cells are able to perform at optimal levels. CBD is also believed to be antibacterial as well, which would mitigate the chance of infection. Both full and broad spectrum CBD products also contain an array of other beneficial cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN and CBC. CBG has been shown to have antibacterial and antifungal properties.
In a release made by WebMD, scientists claimed “The researchers tested the CBD against some strains of staphylococcus, which cause skin infections, and streptococcus, which cause strep throat.
They compared how effective CBD was compared to common antibiotics, such as vancomycin and daptomycin. We looked at how quickly the CBD killed the bacteria. It’s quite fast, within 3 hours, which is pretty good. Vancomycin (Vancocin) kills over 6 to 8 hours.”
Another benefit of taking CBD for immunity lays in the fact that humans have an intricate network of receptors throughout the mind and body that regulate different bodily processes. This system is called the endocannabinoid system. It is responsible for keeping the body in homeostasis and helps our bodies adapt to the ever changing world. The endocannabinoid system also supports immune response.
The immune system support enabled by the endocannabinoid system is thought to help the body fight off pathogens. There are ways to supplement the endocannabinoids our body produces by using phytocannabinoids. Phytocannabinoids mimic endocannabinoids that are biosynthesized in our bodies. By supplementing with extra cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD), our immune system can do what it does best. Adding a bit of lemon ginger tincture to a cup of hot tea is a great way to soothe the throat and get your dose of CBD.
The goal when using CBD for immunity is achieving our bodies natural state of homeostasis. This is when the organs and senses are working in sync with each other, and each biological function is regulated. Consuming plenty of vitamin C, eating a healthy diet, and enjoying some sunlight is another great way to help with immunity.
4. Keep Hydrated
Drink a lot of water and fluid. It has been suggested by medical experts that flushing the mouth decreases the chances of bacteria and viruses getting into our airways where they can take hold and multiply. Washing the offending particles into the stomach can help to neutralize them as the stomach acids work to nullify their effects on the body.
Drinking tea with fresh lemon, organic ginger, organic garlic and honey has been shown to be highly effective as a natural antibiotic. This tea can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Adding Hempstrax Lemon Ginger Tincture to this healthy tea can also help to support your immune system.
Dehydration is a key factor to consider when fighting any outside pathogen. The body loses its ability to effectively fight off infection when it is in a condition of dehydration. It should also be noted that drinking sugar based sodas and juices can be counterproductive to supporting your body’s immune system. Instead opt for water and herbal teas.
5. Get plenty of rest
Getting the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep plays into keeping your immune system at its best, but it often gets neglected. Modern day life has us constantly on the go and oftentimes sleep is sacrificed.
Getting sleep isn’t easy for everyone, and knowing a virus is lurking doesn’t make it much better. To keep your immune system at its best we recommend Hempstrax NightCaps. They contain 25 mg of CBD and 1 mg of melatonin, a perfect blend that works synergistically to fall asleep and stay asleep.
In addition to supporting immune health, getting plenty of high quality sleep helps the body repair. It is during deep sleep when your cells are repaired. This in turn helps the immune system and white blood cells fight off pathogens. If we aren’t well rested, we aren’t at our peak performance, and this is the same for our immune systems. Get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and wash your hands.
6. Wear Gloves if dealing with the public
We have all heard from health officials regarding washing our hands regularly but not enough has been said about wearing disposable gloves. You will be far less likely to touch your face if wearing gloves. Those who deal with the general public every day for work should definitely consider this option.
In conclusion
Although there is currently no cure or vaccine to combat COVID-19, there are certain things that may decrease your chances of infection. Keeping a healthy immune system is the first line of defense. CBD products are believed to help with immune function, and also help the body rest and heal. Frequent hand washing and avoiding direct contact with people when in public places can drastically decrease your chances of getting sick. Scientists are working tirelessly to find a way to stop the spread of this coronavirus, however for now all we can do is stay healthy.
