Prevent illness by building a strong immune system
Added 20.09.2011
What causes a weakened immune system?
Putting aside underlying medical conditions such as AIDS, allergic disorders and immunodeficiency disorders, here are the most common culprits of a weakened immune system:
- stress
- lack of exercise
- lack of sleep
- being overweight
- overuse of prescription and non-prescription medications
- poor hygiene
- poor diet
Diet is a major factor in immune health
Diet actually plays a major role in how well, or not, our body deals with foreign invaders. That is because our complex immune system relies on an ample supply of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential nutrients to do its job properly - to protect our body from harmful bacteria, viruses and other unwanted visitors.
