The immune system is the front line of defense against pathogens. In the world, we encounter billions of bacterial and viral cells.

Some are harmless to humans, but others can destroy health and even lead to death. The pandemic is just one example how fragile we are.

On the lethality spectrum, it is notably more deadly than the seasonal flu. Furthermore, it is just one incarnation of coronaviruses that attack human cells.

Before this virus there were others. And there will be others. Theses viruses mutate frequently, so we can expect more such viruses to make headlines and threaten our well being in the future. 

What can you do to strengthen your immune system to fight as effectively as possible?

Fortunately, several natural remedies, including hormone replacement therapy using human growth hormone can improve the immune system’s disease fighting capabilities, protecting you from infections.

Here are a few of the most effective natural ways to enhance your immune system.

What is Important to Know About Your Immunity:

Diet is arguably the most important, and basic, facet of building immunity. 
What we eat has direct impacts on the functionality of the immune system.

When we supply the nutrients it needs through our diet, our immune responders have the tools they need to kill infections.

When deficits exist because of poor diet, the immune system’s work is impaired.

Thanks to research, we know what nutrients are most important for your immune system. They are, Vitamin C, Zinc, and Vitamin D.

Vitamin C.

Folk wisdom has long regarded vitamin C as a potent immune booster, but only relatively recently did researchers discover why it exhibits such powerful effects.

Among other activities, it enhances the reproduction of crucial T and B cells produced in the lymph nodes.

Citrus fruits, green vegetables, and peppers provide high amounts of vitamin C.

Zinc.

The body utilizes this incredibly important mineral in dozens of processes that benefit the reproduction and function of immune cells. You can source zinc naturally from shellfish and pumpkin seeds.

Vitamin D.

The main source of vitamin D for humans is the sun. We absorb it through our skin. Dietary sources and supplementation can be used to address deficiencies. Fish and dairy are rich sources of vitamin D.

Intermittent Fasting and Immunity.

In addition to what you eat, how you eat is also important for the immune system as well as overall health.

Intermittent fasting is the strategic restriction of calories for specific time intervals each day. A common example of intermittent fasting is called the 16 and 8 rule.

The numbers signify the amount of time spent fasting compared to the amount of time spent eating freely.

In this example, eating is allowed for 8 hours each day, followed by total fasting for 16 hours.

Only black coffee and sugar free tea are allowed during the fasting window.

People who practice intermittent fasting report feeling younger, healthier, and more with it.

Over time, intermittent fasting also has an impressive benefit for the hormone system, the chemical messaging system in your body.

Because of intermittent fasting’s fortifying properties, we highly recommend incorporating the practice into your daily routine.

Intermittent fasting boosts circulating levels of GH, which has important implications for the immune system.

The Role of Human Growth Hormone in Immunity.

As we mentioned before, stimulating the growth of new immune system cells, especially killer T cells that eliminate invading pathogens on the spot, is an important aspect of any immune boosting plan.

Along with insulin like growth factor 1, GH is one of the most important growth hormones. Cell reproduction depends heavily on the hormone system for the cue.

The role of GH in immunity was first introduced to the public following clinical trials of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Through its stimulation of the thymus gland to produce more T cells, in turn restoring immune function in the test subjects.

Consequently, researchers conducted more studies of GH and its effect on immunity.

We now know that, in addition to the proliferation of T cells, GH also acts on myeloid progenitor cells and cytokines, two important types of immune cells.

GH deficiency affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by lower than normal levels of circulating growth hormone in the blood. A thoroughly vetted therapy, HRT, safely and effectively restores GH to optimal levels, helping patients feel younger, gain muscle, burn fat, and, most importantly, stay healthy through optimized immune function. 

If you are considering HRT for growth hormone replacement, or just wish to learn more about it, don’t hesitate to get on a phone call or reach through the contact form at hghtherapydoc.com. They will arrange a one on one consultation with one of our expert providers who can go over all of your treatment options after your health screening.

Do not try anything without first advising from your doctor. Even if it’s just a change of your diet, you should consult a professional who can tell what’s good for your health.
