External threats to our health have
increased with our modern lifestyles. Meanwhile, levels of
micro-nutrients in the diet, which are vital for immune function,
have become reduced in our diets.
The chance of illness increases when
the level of threat is increased at the same time as our defences
are weakened. Then, when the immune system is finally overwhelmed by
the attacking viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc., disease becomes
evident.
For example, it's now known that
cancers start to grow fairly frequently in our bodies, but most
don't become a problem because the immune system realises that the
cells are different, and sends its 'killer T cells' to destroy them.
Other immune cells, such as B cells
and macrophages, destroy other unwanted invaders.
All these defence cells which
protect us on a daily basis for 80 years or more, require an optimum
supply of vitamins and minerals to function well. These include
vitamins A, Bs, C and E, the minerals zinc, copper, manganese,
chromium, selenium and others. |
It's well known that the elderly are
more prone to infections and take longer to recover, due to weakened
immune systems. Cancer risk also increases as we age.
However, it has been clearly
shown by Professor Chandra at the John Hopkins University,
Baltimore, that the cause of the weakened immune system is NOT old
age. It is because the elderly are
depleted in almost all the key nutrients.
When he gave his elderly patients a
nutritional supplement every day, he found that within one year
their immune systems had rejuvenated. Plus, the number of days they
were ill was reduced by an incredible 50 per cent.
This clearly showed that when
levels of key nutrients are below their optimum levels, people can't
repair as fast as they wear out, and immune systems are weakened.
Fortunately, it doesn't have to be
this way.
There is no one single nutrient
which would redress the balance (such as vitamin C) - no, we need a
combination of nutrients to do this. |
