Myth, Medicine and Miracles
THE MYTH
Supplements, nutriceuticals and specific foods are receiving great acclaim for boosting immunity. Research is circulating as to what to take to protect yourself from contracting a virus, seasonal flu or other illness. Although these may have essential nutrients that support immune boosting properties ...what's missing is the fact that these immune modulating supplements or foods may not be right for your body and actually be causing immune suppression?
When the innate immune system is triggered by a food or supplement it has less power to do it's job which is to protect you from colds and virus!
THE MEDICINE
Food and nutrients are indeed medicine and today it's precision medicine that provides the data we rely on to know what's in harmony with you body's innate healing and what isn't. The days of guessing are over!
Citrus fruits contain high levels of vitamin C...yes, but what if every time you drink that OJ for breakfast, your innate immune system sends out the troops to clean up the mess...that means less soldiers for the real war...the virus.
THE MIRACLE
You are a Miracle in Motion. The key to resilience and longevity is to know your body intimately and support all the systems to work at their optimal levels so that even if you were exposed to the flu or virus, your body has all the immune power it needs to ward it off.
