Immune Health Alert: 3 Nutritional Immune System Boosters

TORRANCE, Calif. - Feb. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- With the cold and dark days of winter, immune system health is more critical than ever. And one of the best ways to keep these defenses strong is to nourish the immune system with good nutrition.

These 3 nutrients will help the immune system do its job this winter.

"Your immune system is particularly vulnerable to poor nutrition," explains holistic doctor Michael E. Rosenbaum, MD. "Our immune cells have some of the highest turnover rates of any cells in the body. Every four days, these cells are replaced.  And this requires lots of nutritional building blocks. That’s why protein is so important for keeping your defenses strong.”

Because one of the immune system tactics involves "bombing" the enemy with high doses of free radicals, the immune system cells need extra antioxidant "armor" as protection from friendly fire.

Antioxidants like vitamin C, beta carotene, chlorophyll and vitamin E give the immune system this antioxidant fire power it needs to fight off invaders.

“When people ask me about keeping their immune system strong, one of the first supplements I recommend is chlorella,” notes Dr. Rosenbaum. “Chlorella has more protein per ounce than a steak. And when it comes to antioxidants, it’s loaded.”

In addition to vitamin C, beta-carotene and vitamin E, chlorella has one of the highest concentrations of chlorophyll of any plant on the planet. In one study, chlorophyll put out more antioxidant protection than even the powerful vitamin C or glutathione.

But that’s not all chlorella offers. It also has some less common immune-supporting nutrients, like beta glucans.

Since the 1980's scientists have been noting the powerful way unique starches in chlorella seem to fortify the immune system. These starches seem to increase the activity of specialized immune cells called macrophages, stimulate immune messenger chemicals and even help the immune system zone in on trouble spots.

Scientists are still working on identifying the exact chemistry of these unique immune-boosting starches. But in 2008, one of them was identified as a beta-glucan. Many health experts attribute their presence in chlorella to some of its especially strong immune-supporting properties.

As one immune researcher put it, beta-glucans can transform an organism into an "arsenal defense". While the total amount of beta-glucans in chlorella is still unknown, we know for sure that its singular starches provide exceptional immune support.

“Humans are pretty inventive. Our creativity has changed our quality of life infinitesimally over the centuries,” notes Dr. Rosenbaum. “But nature still outdoes us in many areas. We have yet to best the sophistication, flexibility, and precise responsiveness of our immune system when it comes to warding off illness or recovering from a bug.”
