Prevent H1N1 Get Fit & Healthy by Rose-Marie Toussaint, MD
How to Get Fit and Healthy, Prevent Illnesses, Including the H1N1 Viral Infection.
1. Optimize your vitamin D levels. This is one of the best strategies for avoiding all infections and a whole host of illnesses from heart attacks to cancers. This is the least expensive action you can take. Also have your Vitamin D level checked and make sure that the level is between 50-70 ng/ml. Some suggest increasing the daily dose to treat an acute infection.
2. Get Enough Sleep. Most people do well with eight hours. 6 hours is enough if one is meditating or relaxing on a daily basis.
3. Avoid sugar, junk and processed foods. Sugar, particularly white sugar and junk foods depressed the function of your immune system.
4. Relax, De-Stress with Breathing Practices and Meditation.
5. Wash Your Hands. Often, every time you go to the restroom, every time you sneeze or cough, prior to preparing and prior to each meal. It is important not to rub your eyes with unclean hands. This will decrease your chance of spreading infection or getting infected.
6. Protected Cough and Sneeze. Cough into a tissue and wash your hands after throwing the tissue away – Best Practice to prevent spread of infection. Ensure that everyone in your environment do the same. If no tissue, cough, into your hand and wash it as soon as possible.
7. Increase Your Physical Activity. This will increase your circulation and empowers your immune system to protect you from all infections, protects your heart, increases happiness with increasing endorphins’ releases, increase your metabolic rate, etc..
8. Take Vitamin B12 if you are a vegetarian. Take Omega 3, a multivitamin, Immunocal daily. Immunocal is a cysteine-rich undenatured whey protein isolate. This protein is unique in that it has been awarded numerous medical and method of use patents. Of these, perhaps the most important one is for its ability to strengthen our immune system by increasing intracellular glutathione level.
Immunocal is the only nutritional supplement (non-drug product) listed in the Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR) and Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties (CPS), and the only whey protein isolate which is licensed for sale by Health Canada and authorized to claim that it is effective in maintaining a strong immune system.
Most of us realized now that taking antioxidants will enhance our wellbeing and improve our health. There are highly deleterious compounds constantly created in our cells named reactive oxygen species (ROS) which caused excessive tissue damages leading to the aging process. Antioxidants such as glutathione, Vitamin A, E and C remove these ROS from our body.
“Oxidative stress” occurs if the production of ROS is abnormally increased or antioxidant concentrations are decreased. Glutathione, Vitamin C and E decreases with aging. Thus the anti-aging property of Immunocal.
A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, in 1999, by Lands and his colleagues demonstrated that prolonged supplementation with Immunocal which is designed to augment antioxidant defenses resulted in improved volitional performance. This report was the result of a double blinded study; participants were randomly selected to receive Immunocal versus casein.
Immunocal provides 2.5 % of cysteine whereas casein contains 0.3 % cysteine. Immunocal increases intracellular glutathione, the naturally synthesized master anti-oxidant in our systems. Cysteine is the precursor of glutathione.
Muscular performance was assessed by whole leg isokinetic cycle testing, measuring peak power and 30-s work capacity. Both peak power and 30-s work capacity increased significantly in the Immunocal group, with no change in the placebo group. Lymphocyte glutathione also increased significantly in the Immunocal group, with no change in the placebo group.
Reports document that the H1N1 infections maybe worst in the younger populations with strong immune systems. Immunotec scientists have upgraded Immunocal in the creation of Immunocal Platinum by adding two molecules.
The first is the Cytokine Modulating Protein or CMP, which works with the body to repair damaged cells. CMP also increases Lactoferrin which inhibits the growth of diseases causing microorganisms and assist the body in managing normal cell growth. These will assist us in dealing with the H1N1 infections.
The other addition is a Redox-Modulating Formula which helps neutralize acid production from high protein intake, improve the body’s metabolism of insulin and improve mood, energy, well-being and clarity.
9. Lose Weigh if you are overweight or obese. Obesity is associated with increasing infection and cancer rates. The rates and incidence of heart attacks, diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke, breathing problems are all increased. Drink at least 8 cups per day of filtered water and more if you are exercising or doing breath-work.
