The Ebola epidemic has caused a lot of heightened fear and panic throughout the world. Like any virus, people increase their susceptibility to Ebola with a weakened immune system, which is why strong immunity plays heaps not only in preventing oneself from contracting the disease, but also helps stop the spread of it in general.
In fact, health experts, researchers, and those in the medical field go so far as to say that the best and most proven system to help end Ebola is one's own immune system. This lightens up the load and lessens the fear, knowing that each one of us can help fight Ebola by being strong and healthy ourselves.
Conventional medicine teaches us to pop a vitamin C pill or a multivitamin loaded with the necessary goods, but building a strong immunity involves more than that. To stave off a virus and fight off an infection includes lifestyle changes and natural measures that are doable yet effective.
Consume antibacterial foods and herbs. Starting off by clearing the digestive system of any harmful bacteria can help the immune system function properly and do its job efficiently. Such antibacterial foods and herbs include onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, peppermint, lemon, clove, cinnamon, calendula, cranberry, oregon grape root, goldenseal, yarrow, echnacea, and marshmallow root, among others.
Eat immune strengthening foods. There are foods that strengthen and solidify the immune system. A good example these are the following: liver supporting herbs such as dandelion root, artichoke, turmeric, and milk thistle; probiotics; vitamin D from sunlight or from fermented cod liver oil; vitamin C found in camu camu, guava, kale, oranges, peppers; zins; and adaptogenic herbs like siberian ginseng, una de gato, and reishi.
End behaviors that limit the immune system's capacity. A big part of our lifestyle that suppresses the immune system is stress. It is important to stay away from chronic stress as it naturally disrupts the harmony and equilibrium of the body's immunity, making us vulnerable to all kind of viruses.
