| Caramel apples, colder weather, tricky treats, OH MY… Halloween can sure be scary for your health. But not this year! See below for 3 surprising ways to stay healthy this October (and beyond). #1: Watch A Scary Movie Remember that fright you get when the shark leaps out of the water in Jaws? It's actually good for your health! Studies show watching horror films can power up your immune system and increase white blood cell production. #2: Eat Your Decorations Don't just carve a Jack-o'-lantern… Eat it! Pumpkins are teeming with beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, iron, and folate, which drive scary-good immune function. #3: Don't Boost Your Immune System Wait… Tina… Don't I WANT to boost my immunity? Actually, no. Here's why: Keeping your immune system "boosted" means that it's always turned "ON"... And an immune response stuck in the ON position can create more damage than the actual threats you face. Yes, you read that right – If you keep telling your body to launch an all-out attack, it will likely turn its sights on YOU. So instead of "boosting"... Put The Blow Torch Down And Pick Up A Fly Swatter If you wanted to get rid of a fly, a blow torch would do the trick… But it'd also take your home down in the process :) Your immune system is a lot like a blow torch – If you encounter a serious threat, you want to turn that blow torch on… But here's the thing: You encounter endless amounts of germs and toxins every day… And if your immune system thinks every outsider is a deadly invader, you'll be in trouble. That's why a healthy immune system is one that knows… How To Identify The True Threats Your body has special "identifier proteins" known as immunoglobulin G (or IgG for short). One of IgG's most important jobs is to sort through every outsider your body encounters… And determine which threats deserve a fly swatter... And which threats need a blow torch. When they find a true threat, your IgG: 1. Tag the threat, so your immune system will know to quickly respond to it in the future… 2. Lead your immune attack, to help get the threat out of your system. Unfortunately, stress or a lack of proper nutrients can halt your natural IgG production… Making it even harder for your immune system to mount a healthy response. But the good news is… When your natural IgG supplies run low, you can replenish them with specialized reinforcements... This highly potent IgG formula gives your immune system the support it needs to respond the RIGHT way... Which can be super powerful if you're feeling run down after Halloween, or if you just want a proactive lift. |
