The Amazing Immune System
The immune system is a network of cells and organs that
serve to protect the body from a myriad of environmental
stressors. It includes both physical barriers and cellular
responses. There are several types of white blood cells or
immune cells that travel through the bloodstream and tissues,
surveying and responding when appropriate. Some of the
frst responders are natural killer cells and macrophages, cells
that make up what is known as the innate immune system. If
reinforcement is required, antibody-producing white blood
cells called B cells and T cells are activated through a complex
signaling cascade. Together the body’s army of immune
system cells executes one of the most impressive biological
defensive strategies in nature.
Understanding Our Natural Defenses
The immune system plays a critical role in maintaining
wellness. It is responsible for maintaining a healthy
infammation response and normal cell growth. And, during
the cold-weather months when environmental stressors
abound, a healthy immune system provides the key to
maintaining respiratory tract health. Importantly, a healthy
immune system is one that is neither over-stimulated nor
under-stimulated.
There are several factors that can contribute to immune
imbalance. Topping the list are: too much stress, lack of sleep,
excessive sugar consumption, inadequate fruit and vegetable
consumption, and lack of exercise or excessive exercise.
Let Nature Support Your Needs
A healthy lifestyle that includes stress-relieving techniques,
regular moderate exercise, adequate restful sleep, and a whole-
foods diet rich in fresh organically grown fruits and vegetables is
fundamental to keeping the immune system balanced. Research
suggests that you can further enhance the health of the immune
system by “feeding” it select species of tonic mushrooms such
as those featured in LifeShield Immunity.* LifeShield Immunity
delivers mushrooms’ whole protective shield through the
combination of mycelium, their extracellular compounds, fruiting
bodies, and spores. Perfect Immune is the probiotic whole-food
complexed multi that provides a comprehensive approach to
support your immune system and natural defenses.* Perfect
