The Human Immune System And How To Help It
Modern civilization is unimaginable without the technology that sustains it. From cellular phones to hybrid cars and everything in between, machinery is necessary to preserve the way we live and continue to progress. Machines, however, inevitably break down and (at least for now) they are unable to repair themselves. By contrast, our bodies are naturally produced machines that do have the capacity to repair themselves, and they do so on a daily basis. It remain unfeasible to go and purchase a new body when ours breaks down, and indeed it is unnecessary due to a remarkable system: 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.
In India the immune system has been preserved via the usage of herbs for centuries. A short list includes sahadevi, shatavari, gokshura, lahsuna, ashwagandha, tulasi, triphala, amalaki, and of course Hoodia. In addition, aromatherapy is widely recognized as an important, immune system-boosting therapy by most medical communities around the world.
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.
Getting enough sleep is the most natural way to sustain your immune system. Be sure to get, at the barest of minimums, six hours of sleep a night. If you get any less than that, your T cells begin to drop rather drastically, inviting illness and infection into your body. Moreover, once you are ill you tend to get less sleep, whereby your immune system is weakened further.
Create a rhythm for your body to follow by going to sleep at the same time every day. Your immune system will follow this rhythm, increasing its efficiency. Try to do the same activity-read a book, listen to music; whatever works-every night before bed. Ensure that the area where you sleep is quiet, dark, and comfortable. Do not bring items from work or other stress-inducing things from your life to bed. Moreover, do not consume anything other than water for two hours before bed, and do not exercise for three hours before going to bed. - 17268
