Simple steps to a
stronger
immune system
The question on everyones minds during the current crisis, is ‘What can I do to improve my immunity and guard myself against infection’? It has put health at the very top of people’s personal agendas and rightly so. There never has been a time where it is so important for everyone to take personal responsibility for their wellbeing than now. There never has been a time where our bodies have been faced with the challenges which we are now being faced with. When we think about supporting our immunity we think of things like Vitamin C and Zinc along with other natural herbal products like garlic and echinacea. These are all good. We see the power that high dosage Vitamin C can bring. However, there is a lot more we can do to support our health on a continuous daily basis to help support our immune systems.
Important advances in cellular hydration
Firstly we should make sure we are properly hydrated with good water. This might appear to be a very simplistic approach, however there is very good scientific reasons why. There are many people that are very dehydrated, not because they are not drinking water but rather because the water they are drinking is not being absorbed. Thanks to the results of research coming out of Dr Gerald Pollack’s laboratory at the University of Washington – we now have a deeper understanding of the key role that water plays in the health of the body. The following excerpt from the web site of the hydration foundation 6
(hydrationfoundation.org) gives you a flavour of this research and the potential for human health. You are 99% water by molecules and drinking water is the most obvious of the 3 principles of hydration. To get the maximum absorption from what you drink and to make it available all the way down to the cellular levels, you need to drink water, but not just any kind of water. There is a better type of water than tap or bottled water that optimally hydrates you and reduces the need for high volume intake. This new kind of water is the water we find in nature – it is the water found in springs and streams, in fruits and vegetables, and in our cells. It was recently “identified” as structured water with the molecular structure of H302. Emerging science has come out of the culmination of over 30 years experiments and research from the laboratory of Dr. Gerald
