Greetings to you,

There’s an informative chart below that has the top 8 ways to boost your immune system  What exactly is the “Immune System”?  The body’s immune system protects us against disease, germs, viruses and microorganisms every day of our lives.  Some of the parts of the immune system are the tonsils, spleen, and bone marrow (where white blood cells are made).

Usually the immune system does a great job of protecting us from illness and disease.  Sometimes a lack of sleep or exercise, chemicals in foods, toxins in the environment, excess sugar, or prolonged stress weakens it.

Regarding white sugar, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that when healthy volunteers consumed a large amount of sugar, their immune system’s white blood cells had an impaired ability to destroy bacteria for at least five hours.  One healthy alternative is whole raw fruit, which makes great desserts and snacks.  Enjoy the chart below and put it to good use!

In today’s fast-paced world, indoor air quality and the quality of the outdoor air, play a key role in our overall health.

The State of Tennessee Health Department says: “Breathing clean air can lessen the possibility of disease from stroke, heart disease, and lung cancer, as well as chronic and acute respiratory illnesses such as asthma.”

Studies have shown that breathing clean, healthy air can significantly boost mental clarity, improve sleep quality, and strengthen the immune system.

Whether you are inside your home or taking a break in nature, making mindful choices regarding air quality can make a dramatic impact on your well-being.

Indoor air is often more polluted than outdoor air, and exposure to harmful contaminants, allergens, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can compromise respiratory health. VOCs are found in paint, building materials, solvents, carpets, chemicals and more.

Air purifiers are one solution that can remove up to 99.97% of airborne particles, including dust, pollen, and mold spores, providing immediate relief for allergy sufferers (American Lung Association, 2021).

Installing high-quality air conditioning systems with HEPA filters can also help regulate temperature and humidity, reducing the risk of mold growth and ensuring that the air inside your home remains clean and fresh.

Sleeping in clean air is essential for restoring the body. Research shows that people who sleep in environments with cleaner air experience fewer disturbances and wake up more refreshed (Environmental Health Perspectives, 2020).

Keeping bedroom windows open for a short period each day or using air purifiers while sleeping helps reduce carbon dioxide levels, allowing the body to oxygenate more efficiently.

Outdoor activities also play a critical role in promoting lung health and reducing stress. Spending time outside in natural sunlight provides the body with vitamin D, which has been linked to improved immune function and mood regulation (The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2019).

Grounding, or walking barefoot on the grass, has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and balance the body’s natural rhythms by reconnecting with the earth’s electrons (Journal of Environmental and Public Health, 2012).

According to the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, “The possibility exists that magnesium deficiency contributes to pulmonary (lung) complications. During the past few years, there has been an increase in calcium consumption in the US population but little change in magnesium intake, which has caused an imbalance in the calcium: magnesium ratio.”

By combining good indoor air quality practices with time spent in nature and adequate intake of magnesium, you can promote a holistic approach to health and well-being. Taking steps to improve the air you breathe will help reduce respiratory issues, improve mental clarity, and support a strong immune system.

Welcome to another edition of “Friday Fun Nutrition Facts!” Get ready to be entertained and inspired by some fascinating tidbits about the food we eat. Let’s dive in …

  1. Peppers Can Help with Pain Relief

Capsaicin is a plant chemical found in the fruit of chili peppers that gives them their burning sensation and sense of heat. Capsaicin is known for its pain-relieving properties. It works by desensitizing nerve receptors and is often used in topical creams to alleviate pain from arthritis and other conditions.  Spicy but soothing!

Reference: Anand, P., & Bley, K. (2011). Topical capsaicin for pain management: Therapeutic potential and mechanisms of action of the new capsaicin 8% patch. British Journal of Anaesthesia, 107(4), 490-502.

  1. Cranberries Can Prevent Urinary Tract Infections

Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins – plant chemicals that give the fruit or flowers of plants their red, blue, or purple colors.  This plant substance can prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract. This makes cranberries effective in preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) and they’re also helpful for gum health by preventing oral bacterial from binding together. Enjoy cranberry juice or dried unsweetened cranberries for a tasty health boost.

  1. Kiwi Fruit Can Improve Sleep Quality

Eating two kiwis an hour before bedtime can improve sleep quality per recent studies. Kiwis are rich in serotonin and antioxidants (substances that keep cells healthy), both of which can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly. Sweet dreams are made of kiwis.

Reference: Lin, H. H., Tsai, P. S., & Fang, S. C. (2011). Effect of kiwifruit consumption on sleep quality in adults with sleep problems. Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 20(2), 169-174.

Inflammation is the body’s natural defense against infection or injury and it can cause swelling, soreness and pain.

When it lingers as a slow-burning fire in the background, it can wreak havoc, leading to joint pain, heart disease, intestinal upset or mental fog. See the top five natural anti-inflammatory remedies here at Nutrition Breakthroughs.
