Build Your Immune System
Winter is here and we are more than likely to catch a cold or the flu. You can prepare yourself and your family with herbs and home remedies to avoid infection and to build up a good strong immune system. Menopause can and does change your life. What did our grandmothers give us? They made up these good herbal remedies.. I still remember cod liver oil as a very good home remedy to take care of colds.
A strong immune system is essential for our body so it can fight and eliminate cancerous cells. It is difficult to ignore, it is almost impossible not to, we are scared about epidemics and the Swine flu.
We know that exercise will help our immune system, but we need to know that not all exercise will strengthen the immune system. If you work out too hard or over do your training, you will cause havoc on your body and it will create toxins that may produce to much of a hormone that will burden and may temporarily lower the immune system.
Dr. Zasloff says, while slathering yourself with sunscreen helps protect against skin cancer, it may deprive your immune system from vitamin D, a nutrient that research now links to immune function. In winter months the sun exposure will lessen and the vitamin D will be at a low level. Add to your regime plenty of vitamins and minerals to promote a strong immune system. I cannot say enough about the things that will help: nutrition, exercise, sleep,reduce stress, improve mood, get sunlight, and work on your environment. Nothing like being with good friends (women) and hanging out. You cannot have enough laughter or tears because it releases good chemicals that help rid the body of toxins that will take down the immune system.

Book Review
That’s the question –Why are we still faced with an epidemic of heart disease that will kill more than half of our population? Dr. Lundell witnessed heart disease; he held it in his hands a quarter century after performing over 5,000 open heart surgeries.
While he was saving lives for many years he also wrestled with what he saw in the arteries of every patient-inflammation. The question he asked himself was why was inflammation present? This book is about a dedicated heart surgeon, Dr. Dwight Lundell. He wrote this book for the people, our hearts, our life’s for us to act on the knowledge and share this information with our loved ones, friends, etc. We need to tell as many about the truth so we can save as many life’s as possible. The book helped me to understand the reason people develop and die from heart disease. If only I knew what I just found out I would have been able to help some of my family and friends that have passed away as a result of heart disease. I thought high cholesterol was the cause of heart related diseases.
Now I see the real cause is inflammation-not cholesterol. This is inflammation you have swelling, redness, heat and pain around the area of the reaction to the injury or infection. The combination of the low fat and low cholesterol diet with other life style choices has created a firestorm. The most important thing to understand is with the long lists of aliments-inflammation is the common factor in almost all cases. The awesome news is that we can reduce inflammation. Dr. Lundell’s book explains in very simple terms how to take a stand and fight inflammation. We just need to read this book and follow his recommendations, watch our health change, get that glow back in our face.
This book is a must have in your library of books. Dr. Lundell says we need to make simple changes that will treat the inflammation instead of believing that cholesterol causes heart disease. If we give our bodies what it needs to operate properly our health will make remarkable strides and respond.
Allergies & Menopause
Allergies in menopausal women are common. In menopausal women the immune system goes into confusion and we are more susceptible to allergies during our menopause stage. The age most women reach menopause is between 45 and 55 years of age is the average and for reaching menopause is about 50 years. There are a small percentage of women that reach menopause before age 40. What are menopause allergies? They are allergens that have substances, often times eaten or inhaled, that can cause an allergic reaction when recognized by the immune system. The problem that makes it worse, it can be almost anything that menopausal women are allergic too.
In menopausal women sugar suppresses our immune system. Sugar can set our allergies off and make it more difficult for you to fight off viruses and bacterial infections. Here are some of the symptoms of allergies I have listed. Some of them tend to be mild, moderate, and severe.
· Congestion & Sneezing
· Difficulty breathing
· Different levels of swelling
· Itchy eyes, watery eyes, dry eyes
· Itchy crawly skin
· Making it difficult to breathe
· Rash, Hives
· Congestion & Sneezing
· Dizziness & Not Focused Mentally
· Vomiting & Diarrhea
Our body immune system and body hormones use the same chemical messenger that allergies react from. These changes will affect the overall working of our bodies. It all comes back to our hormones that is imbalanced due to our menopause. Our immune system will suffer and make menopausal woman more prone to allergies. Just to name some of the allergy symptoms we suffer with. The allergy symptoms will affect each individual differently some will be mild to severe. As for myself I can experience very mild to severe symptoms. I have just gotten to know my body well over the 50 years and understand what is going on. Also note that what caused your hypersensitive today may change the next day. This of course presents problems for the medical practioners dealing with menopause and allergies symptoms. This is why we have to take charge of our lives and research and look for natural healthy alternatives.
Allergies are often the result of an overloaded toxic state within the liver. As I have been studying diet and herbs, the human body I found out a lot about the liver and the important role it plays. If the quantity of a substance entering the bloodstream is too great for the liver to process quickly, the immune system recognizes the molecules as being an allergen and produces antibodies against them. So if the liver is filtering and processing correctly the allergen would not have the affect on our body. The allergy season is upon us and I have started to experience some of these symptoms listed. What I have noticed is since I am doing a cleanse right now my body is fighting the allergy symptoms. The Chinese call this formula “tiao he,” which means “harmonizing.” In herbology, it is considered a liver-cleansing formula.
This is where lifestyle changes should begin and be very careful when choosing a remedy or medicine to treat the allergy symptom. Keep your windows and doors close to prevent pollen and other allergens from entering into the home or car. Wash your bed sheets and linen in hot water at least once a week. Also buy allergy free pillowcases and bed protectors. Take a look at your diet, exercise and start eating right. Start taking natural supplements that will relieve these symptoms.
