Building Your Immune System and Fighting Viruses

Illnesses and your immunes are the soldiers on the battlefields of our bodies. To be on the winning side you must put your body on high alert. Think of your immune system as the minutemen and bacteria and viruses the enemy that seeks to destroy. 
Staying on alert can only happen if you understand some simple principles. Your mom probably mentioned these a few times (or more).
  • Water 
  • Rest and Balance
  • Exposure (elements) 
  • You are what Eat (or don't) ....food as fuel...nutrition
I was blessed to have had a mom who wasn't into canned and box. They did enter our home and I was exposed to Hamburger Helper and Spam. For the most part we ate fresh or frozen vegetables. My lunches always had milk, fresh fruit and vegetables, a sandwich with lettuce, and a cookie. When I wanted chips it was denied as being unnecessary, unhealthy, and not cost effective. We were limited on sodas to a few a week at home; not for school lunches. 

I have taken this a step further. The only sodas my kids see are a rare health food store bottle. Root Beer or more often Ginger ale with extra ginger for some stomach issues and menstrual cramps. This morning my youngest has whole grain penne with olive oil, fresh basil and tomatoes, broccoli with homemade ranch dip (made with mostly plain yogurt with live cultures), a whole grain fruit bar, and rice milk. I added a very sinful homemade thumbprint cookie made with real butter, no artificial anything. Perfect. No. But, I have found that they are happy and healthy....and I like to bake. 

Even though I try to buy local and fresh organic when I can, the reality is, our soil here in America is depleted. If there aren't enough things to worry about and contend with we now we have watch out for GMO's. We are exposed to so much; daily! The water we drink, did you know we need a half-ounce per pound of our weight, has to be constantly monitored for purity. Our schedules are overloaded (by our own design really) and even when we try to back off, something rears its ugly head to send us back to the hurry, hurry treadmill. Balance?! What's that and how do you get it? 

The product information listed below was taken from my Purium website. These products are just a part of my effort to live a holistic life. Strengthening my immunes is not an option. Fibromyalgia leaves many bedridden and with a large family and work I just couldn't let it win. I have used other products but I kept searching for a product that would "holistically" provide me with pure and safe nutrients at a reasonable, doable price. These are phenomenal.
A responsive immune system is the centerpiece of preventative health. Plant-powered nutrition can’t cure diseases, but it can help support the immune system so diseases never start in the first place or are dealt with quickly and efficiently. Stress can compromise even the healthiest person, so take the Super Immunity Booster Pack as your insurance policy against disease.

Once again I'd like to reiterate that the above information is taken from my Purium website.

All of Puriums products carry a 60-day unconditional money back guarantee. Honest! You may wonder why all the FACT information.....well....when it comes to what goes in or on your body you need to know the facts; as many as you can find. Green isn't just the new cool phrase, it is what your body craves, however, if you don't give it real food it will starve. So I guess what I'm saying is....if you want to build your immune system with a product that is WHOLE and win the war against viruses and bacteria; Purium is the answer.
If you have any questions; just ask.
