The way we live
and work can have a bearing on the condition of our immune systems.
Stress, pollutants, chemicals and other factors can destroy cells.
The immune system is in a constant battle with these enemies.
It is estimated that over
80% of us
suffer from stress at work or at home. (Reference: Institute of
Optimum Nutrition Survey - 2006)
Stress and overwork will affect the
immune system's overall health.
Thirty years ago many of us led
less stressful lives, and we had far fewer pollutants and chemicals
in the atmosphere.
It is now estimated that the
average human body has over 500 different chemicals, synthetic
hormones and pollutants affecting the health of the human body.
As with any 'machine', put too high
a demand on it and it could 'break', or at the very least, it won't
operate at peak efficiency.
Being run down means that we are
much more likely to pick up a few colds or bouts of flu, or other
infections.
Therefore, it is important to
follow a
healthy lifestyle and good diet, with an adequate supply of vitamins
and minerals.
More and more it's being shown that
supplementation can help protect our health, and one of the most
beneficial immune foods is Colostrum.
Indeed, Colostrum provides over 90
different vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients - and
most importantly, certain proteins called immunoglobulins - or IgG
for short.
