How to Boost Your Immune System
by Theresa Cheung
A vigorous immune system is vital to good health, both physical and mental. Chronic fatigue, endless colds, and symptoms of allergy are just some of the common manifestations of a weakened immune system, while there is increasing awareness of outright autoimmune disorders such a rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and Sjögren’s syndrome. The good news is that there are many ways in which we can strengthen our immune systems. This book looks at: - How your immune system works and what can hamper it, such as poor diet, lack of sleep or exercise, stress and depression
- Warning signs of a weakened immune system – the self-defence plan
- Nutrition
- Your attitude and outlook
- Exercise and skin-brushing
- Getting enough sleep
- Alternative treatments – herbs and vitamin supplements.
