Prepara tu sistema inmunitario para prevenir resfriados y gripe

Con el invierno encima y la temporada de resfriados y gripe en pleno apogeo, es muy importante mantener tu sistema inmunológico preparado. Hábitos saludables como hacer ejercicio, comer bien, descansar, manejar el estrés y lavarse las manos son muy útiles para mantener fuerte el sistema inmunológico. Tomar suplementos nutricionales también juega un papel clave en el fortalecimiento de tus defensas. A continuación, mis principales recomendaciones para apoyar tu sistema inmunológico en la prevención de resfriados y gripe, así como suplementos para el apoyo agudo.
Apoyo diario
• Vitamina D – La vitamina D juega un papel importante en la salud inmunológica. Los estudios demuestran que las personas con niveles bajos de vitamina D tienen un mayor riesgo de contraer un resfriado, gripe e infección del tracto respiratorio superior. Toma 2000 UI – 5000 UI al día.
• Fórmula Inmune Integral – Pathway Immune System Support contiene vitaminas, minerales, hierbas y hongos clave para el apoyo inmunológico para ayudar al cuerpo a defenderse de los patógenos. Toma 2 cápsulas, tres veces al día.
• Probióticos – Las bacterias beneficiosas estimulan el sistema inmunológico del cuerpo al reforzar la protección de la membrana mucosa en el tracto nasal, respiratorio y gastrointestinal. Esto es importante para ayudar a prevenir que los virus del resfriado y la gripe entren en el cuerpo. Toma 1 cápsula al día.
• Spray nasal – El uso regular de un spray nasal natural puede ayudar a humedecer los conductos nasales y ayudar a eliminar posibles patógenos. Usa 1-2 pulverizaciones en cada fosa nasal dos o tres veces al día.
Acute Support
Begin taking these supplements at the first sign of nasal or respiratory discomfort.
• Allicin – This active component of garlic is known for its immune stimulating properties, as well as its potent antiviral and antibacterial properties. Take up to 8 capsules daily.
• Oregano Oil – This powerful herb has been shown to have many health benefits, especially for helping the body fight against respiratory infections, fungal infections, viruses and bacterial infections. Take 1 softgel three times daily.
• Elderberry Syrup – Elderberries provide a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants that help with inflammation and mucus membrane health. Elderberries also have antiviral properties and have been shown to be helpful against various strains of the influenza virus. Take 2 teaspoons (10 ml) twice daily.
• Zinc Lozenges – Zinc plays a critical role in supporting immune health. When taken within 24-48 hours of onset, zinc has been shown to help shorten the duration and reduce the severity of cold symptoms. Suck on 1 lozenge every 2-4 hours.
