The Immune System And You
Our modern civilization functions because of the numerous technologies and machines that sustain it. Power plants, automobiles, personal computers, cellular phones, even fast food restaurants-without machinery and technology everything would fall apart. Still, we constantly repair and renew our machines, as they will always break down without the aid of human hands. As living beings, we do not simply go the store and purchase a new body when ours breaks down. Rather, we rely upon our own bodies to repair themselves, something they have been doing for tens of thousands of years. A One vital component of this process is our internal security detail: the Human Immune System.
Composed of bacteria, organs, and cells, the human immune system is an organized and efficient complex. It fears no invader, attacking and annihilating any and every internal threat to the human body. In tandem it eradicates cancerous, mutated cells and throws out cells that have died. Bone marrow and the thymus-an organ positioned just above the heart-serve as field marshals in the immune system, training and directing a host forces: Leukocytes (white blood cells) are generated by bone marrow. They patrol the entire body, slaughtering any and all invaders deemed dangerous. Trained by the thymus, B cells struggle against infections; T cells are responsible for taking the correct course of action against specialized invaders; "killer cells" obliterate cancerous cells; finally, "eating cells" literally consume harmful debris and microorganisms. Taken as a whole, the human body could not exist for very long without its immune system; it alone provides the security necessary for all other systems to function.
Happily, we can boost our own immune systems by means of certain treatments, both natural and man-made.
For thousands of years, Indians have utilized a number of herbs to increase the power of their own immune systems. In addition to Hoodia, try using ashwagandha, tulasi, triphala, amalaki, shatavari, gokshura, lahsuna, or sahadevi.
Stress is a major contributor to a weakened immune system and the sickness that results. Meditation and yoga are two excellent ways to both eliminate and greatly reduce stress on the mind and its effects on the body.
Multivitamins are perhaps the easiest way to boost your immune system. They are extremely useful and easy to take on a regular basis. Additionally, there are an almost infinite number of vitamins and minerals available for purchase, although it is important to find out what your system requires before starting your own regimen.
Perhaps the most natural way to conserve your immune system is to get the correct amount of sleep. The less sleep you get, the weaker your immune system becomes. This is because the les sleep you have, the less T cells are produced, and thus your body is less able to fight off infection. Accordingly, when you become sick and sleep even less, your immune system is damaged even more. In other words, you should sleep for at least six hours a day to prevent illness.
Creating and sustaining a good daily rhythm is the key to good sleep. Try to go to bed every day at the same time, or as close as possible to it. Once your immune system is accustomed to this, it will follow it, increasing its own efficiency along the way. Try reading a book, listening to music, etc., before bed to induce sleep. Leave work and stress outside of the bedroom by transforming it into a dark, comfortable, quiet area. Finally, do not eat anything or exercise during the two to three hours that precede the time you go to bed. - 17273
