In this guide, I will discuss what we can do individually and as families to receive proper nutrition at this time, and, thus, strengthen, reinforce, and boost our immune systems and ensure better health. This follows on the heels of other posts I’ve written about the contemporary, global epidemic of immune system disorders and diseases as well as the variable of poor nutrition as the significant contributor to this sad state of affairs.
Poor Nutrition
Large-scale changes to repair the global immune disorder problem has to be managed by organizations dedicated to bringing us back into a healthy symbiotic relationship with our ground and establishing environmentally-favorable farming practices and nutritionally-oriented food processing. And those people who are passionate about helping with this motion should support and/or take part in it. Meanwhile, the perfect question to ask ourselves is: what can each of us do individually and as families immediately to make sure that we’re eating the most nutritious food available to us and, consequently, strengthening our bodies’ immune systems for keeping us healthy?

Below are some ideas which are commonly understood and advocated among the natural health sector.
- Grow your own backyard, using only organic fertilizers and environmentally-friendly”pesticides” Depending upon the level of your soil, you might have to bring in some nutritive-rich compost, top soil, etc. to build it up. It’ll be well worth your time to do so, since the plants will grow more and hardily, and the make that you harvest will taste better and be more nutritious than otherwise. Even if you have just a tiny bit of ground you could cultivate or only a couple baskets that you could grow a plant or two in, which would be far better than doing nothing to look after your health. And ignorance of how to develop a garden isn’t a reason for not doing this, since there are a lot of extremely helpful books and literature online and in the bookstores that take you step by step through the whole gardening procedure! The excellent thing about developing your own garden is that you understand exactly what you used in preparing the ground and protecting the crops during their growing cycle. So, you should not be worried about toxins from the produce you harvest and eat.
- Purchase the highest quality organically-grown and non-GMO food items you may find in your neighborhood community. Check to find out whether there’s a weekly open-air market where local farmers sell their fresh produce. You’ll most likely find some terrific resources of organically-grown produce there. Also, take a look at the possibility of organic food coops locally. Many such coops, offering you the way of buying bulk quantities of organically-produced food products, are springing up all over the place. Most communities in the U.S. Even major supermarket chains are now starting to carry such things to cater to the increasing number of educated customers searching for more natural, healthy products. The food items don’t need to be officially certified organic to be considered secure! Provided that you realize that no chemicals are used in the farming of this merchandise and that it is non-GMO, it is perfectly acceptable. And, so far as prices go, you will discover that the costs of the organically-produced food stuffs are coming down all of the time, and, in certain instances are rivaling and even more affordable than their non-organically-grown counterparts. This trend is only likely to continue. So, don’t use the excuse that purchasing organically is too costly!
- Be conscious of foods that you’re currently unable to properly digest, and stop consuming these foods, even if everybody else around you is telling you that whatever you are having trouble with will be”good for you!” Food allergies are many and diverse in our modern societies because of myriad of factors. So, if you will need to stop eating wheat products for some time, even if it’s whole-grained, sprouted, organically-grown wheat, as you are having an allergic reaction to it, then do this. It’s absolutely a proven scientific fact that food which you can’t digest, you can’t derive nutritional food value from it, and it will become toxic to your body. Be good to your body, and only eat food which you can readily digest!
- Include in your diet much more refreshing, organically-grown, non-GMO vegetables and fruits than you have been consuming before. This can not be emphasized enough. You get the majority of your live, bioavailable vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and other complex nutrients from fruits and vegetables. Generally speaking, try to eat more raw, unprocessed fruits and vegetables in their raw states – though some veggies really do become more readable after being somewhat cooked and or baked. You Will Need to read up on this on the Internet. But beware, because there are less reliable sources of advice. Have a look at several sources until you decide some which are reliable. You’ll have the ability to discern which to anticipate after doing your own little investigation.
- Eat variety and sweet beef, buffalo, etc., and consume more fish than red meat. Eat only fish which are caught from the wild rather than farmed! There’s plenty of trouble with mercury contamination in sea fish, so check the labels to make certain you’re getting fish taken from the cleanest waters, like off the coast of Alaska.
- Avoid over-eating or bing-eating. Preferably eat smaller meals more often. A good deal of people today are finding they feel better, are more healthy, and remain more trim when they eat small meals six times a day.
- Consuming an assortment of food is the trick to getting a balance of all of the essential nutritive components you need for your immune system to work properly. Don’t be afraid to try out food items which you’ve never attempted before, especially when they have been produced organically. Remember, eating organically does NOT mean restricting the selection of food you eat!
- Take some time from your hectic schedule to fix at least one of your meals daily. Develop a healthy, friendly relationship with all the food you’re eating. This relationship can be fostered by your taking time to prepare it to your meal. Take care to eat your meals with people you love, and revel in the food together.Believe it or not, doing so helps create positive beliefs, ideas, and feelings on your subconscious about proper nutrition, thus helping you to better digest the food, assimilate the nutrients, and use them to help the immune system repair and/or construct cells and fight off harmful bacteria, virus, fungi, parasites, and other unwanted intruders in the body.
