The immune system is an amazing piece of work. When our bodies are invaded with foreign germs it springs into action, sending defenders to fight them off. It’s too bad that our immune system is often not working as well as it could.

Stress, improper diet, lack of exercise and environmental factors can all negatively impact the immune system. And if the immune system is having a bad day, we’re more likely to get sick. Illness is harder on our bodies, and we do not recover as quickly as we should.

But we can boost our immune systems, and we don’t need prescription or over-the-counter drugs to do it. Eating the right foods gives us the nutrients that our immune systems need to be at the top of their game. Here are some of the best immune-boosting foods:

* Citrus fruits – Oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits are powerful immune boosters. They contain lots of vitamin C, a nutrient that helps increase the production of white blood cells and antibodies. A medium orange contains 75 milligrams of vitamin C.  Read more...

The fall and winter season brings us Thanksgiving and Christmas.  It also brings us runny noses and sore throats.  Many people suffer from colds and flu symptoms during the winter.  The flu can be more severe even life threatening.  This article will help you learn to tell the difference between a cold and the flu.

The cause of the common cold is the rhinovirus.  And, like all other viruses, the rhinovirus has no cure.  A virus infiltrates a cell and rewrites the DNA to mimic the virus.  From there it continues to replicate these viral cells.

The way to fight a virus is to fight the symptoms.  There are over 200 types of rhinovirus causing the common cold.  The cold virus you get today may not be the same one you contract next year.

Cold viruses attack the respiratory system.  We cough, sneeze, our noses run, our eyes run, we get a sore throat, and we generally feel really, really bad.  People can function with a cold but often it takes all the strength we can muster.  Read more...

Just ponder a while and answer one question – what do you do when you have a common cold, a sore throat or flu and cannot afford to miss your office. Nine out of ten people will probably take an antibiotic or a pain killer and depend upon the drug to take its affect by the time they reach office.

This attitude of opting for the quick and easy route and falling back on the antibiotic alternative every time one needs to treat colds and flu has been instrumental in making antibiotics ineffective in many cases. The use of antibiotics without paying heed to their long term affects leads to a situation where bacteria use the drug for their own metabolism. The antibiotic, instead of killing, starts helping in the growth of the bacterium because it has developed resistance to it.  Read more...

Information on Ear Infections

Ear infections are a very common complaint and can affect adults as well as children.

Otitis media (infection of the middle ear) affects the area behind the ear drum. A build-up of fluid and pus behind the ear drum leads to raised pressure in the ear, pain and loss of hearing.

Infection in the outer ear canal, called Otitis Externa, can cause inflammation, pain, discharge from the ear and itchiness. Chronic Otitis Externa can also predispose people to recurring infections of the middle ear.

There are a number of possible causes of ear infection, including bacteria, viruses and fungi. Colds and allergies may also have a role to play when they cause inflammation of the Eustachian tube, blocking normal drainage of the ear and leading to middle ear infection.

In many cases, ear infections recur after conventional treatment and may become chronic and difficult to get rid of. Recurring ear infections may also lead to permanent hearing loss if not treated properly.

Your body’s immune system, which includes the thymus, bone marrow and lymphoid tissues, produces immune responses to protect the body from foreign substances and pathogenic organisms.

It is imperative that the immune system be strong enough to perform the function of the body’s own natural physician. A weak immune system does not work to its optimum capability – it fails to recognize foreign invasions and can even start to destroy the normal cells of the body.

While an illness does not indicate a weak immune system, persistent fatigue, swelling of glands, recurrent colds and sore throat do indicate deterioration in the immune system health . The immune system is well organized and focused in its functions. It is also a complex system that can be impaired by simple factors like excessive physical or emotional stress, reckless recourse to the antibiotic alternative and a non-nutritional diet.  Read more...
