Pump Up Your Immune System And Stay Healthy Through The Winter

This is so much talk on the new these days about the mystery viruses, children getting sick from strange diseases and even viruses entering the country and infected others. It can be scary but I think it is best to just start by making some simple changes and additions to help to boost your immune system. At Shaklee we believe health comes from what you put in, on and around you. We can tailor a program that leads you to taking small steps today and can make a big impact on your health tomorrow.

Here are a few choices that I recommend to help develop and maintain a heath immune system.

Nutriferon: One of the most powerful formulas ever developed for strengthening the immune system . Its unique , synergistic blend of plant extract including pumpkin seeds, plantago seed, safflower flowers and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds, can be taken daily as a preventative measure. But if you start to feel you are coming down with something you can up it to 6 a day to be effective in heading off the virus. This unique pateneted formula supports and stimulate the immune system by increasing the activity of macrophages and inducing natural interferon production. You can purchase this at $39.00 for a member price but I love that Shaklee carries a 4 pac as many of my customers buy that so that they stock up for the season and have enough for their whole family.

Sustained release Vita-C, 500mg. Only all natural sustained release C with no shellac. Antioxidant property protects the body against free radicals. As we all know vitamin C boost the immune system as an infection fighter, natural antihistamine, increases the resistance to ligament and tendon damage. I love the sustained release property as its like having an ice cube of vitamin c melt in our system over time. Vitamin C is depleted by stress such as infections, fatigue, surgery, anxiety, pollution and extremes in temperature. This is a very affordable product at $21.70 per bottle.

Defend and Resist Complex (Echinacea) I encourage people to keep this in your medicine cabinet at all times and take it at the first time you feel you are coming down with something. Echinacea and zinc can be so effective against viruses and colds as it decrease the severity of the illness. The larch tree extract and elderberry are really soothing to throats as I have some who suck on these tablets as a lozenge while it fights disease. When my kids are feeling not so good, they like to crush up a few Defend and Resist and mix it in a water bottle filled with Lemon Lime Performance. Performance is a safe and natural hydration drink that is in our sports line but really you can use it any time, especially if you are feeling so great.
Garlic Complex: Many know that eating garlic can help your immune system. This is know to be a natural decongestant and natural antibiotic. Shaklee’s Garlic complex has a 2 way odor control with a gentle drying process and a pleasant blend of spearmint and rosemary extracts to maintain its high potency. Garlic is wonderful for congestion, asthma, sinusitis, allergies and colds. I have had many who have chronic sinus infections that have added this Garlic and those infections have improved tremendously. It also has a anti-fungal and anti-bacterial property and thus is effective against candid and yeast infections.

So these are a few suggestions to add to your daily regimen. We really encourage you to get the right nutrition every day, from your diet but also filling in the gaps where your diet falls short with smart supplements and protein. As I have mentioned before it’s always good to build your house of health on a good foundation so making sure you are taking a high quality multi vitamin is key. Start there then add some targeted supplements to support your health issues.
