When the immune system is mentioned, most people think of
beefing up or strengthening it. That's crucial, but a weak
immune system is not always the problem behind health
challenges.
Often the culprit is an overzealous one, or one that's
misguided.
Here's what I mean:
Many health problems are caused and/or worsened by a
hyperactive immune system, including:
With these conditions, the immune system attacks innocent
cells, tissues or organisms in your body, seeing them as
dangerous invaders.
In short, it's out of whack. It's stupid.
This "dumb" immune response leads to chronic inflammation,
and the wrath that follows depends on what area of your
body is being "attacked."
For example, people with colitis and Crohn's get severe
abdominal pain, explosive diarrhea and bleeding. People
with allergies and asthma get wheezing and congestion.
People with arthritis get flare-ups with extreme joint pain
and stiffness.
So it's good to not only have a strong immune system, but
a SMART one as well.
This is surprisingly easy to achieve. But first you need
to...
Learn from the Eskimos
=================
The Greenland Eskimos have innocently educated the world
about inflammation and immune disorders.
In the 1970's researchers began exploring the health of
the Eskimos, and it was quickly noted that they were rarely
plagued by immune disorders such as diabetes and asthma.
Their diet rich in seafood (which is brimming with Omega-3
fatty acids) was one of the major reasons why.
You see, while Omega-6 fatty acids stir up inflammation,
Omega-3s calm things down and are a natural anti-
inflammatory.
The Eskimos got such a high amount of natural Omega-3s in
their seafood diet, that inflammatory immune conditions
almost never occurred.
We're the exact opposite
====================
Americans are the exact opposite. We get boatloads of
inflammation-causing Omega-6 fatty acids in our diets
(grain-fed meats, processed foods, margarine and fast
food), but not nearly enough Omega-3s.
And our levels of inflammatory immune disorders are
skyrocketing to prove it.
Back in 1996 about 1 in 31 people in the US had an
autoimmune condition.
Now it's about 1 in 5 and rising!
Methinks we've got to take a lesson from the Eskimos,
before it's too late.
Promising research
==============
Medical researchers have actually begun treating immune
disorders with Omega-3 fish oil supplements. The results
have been very encouraging and in some instances, life-
saving.
There are 2 ways Omega-3 fatty acids help "apply the
brakes" to an immune system that's gotten out of control:
1- Omega-3s slow the recruitment of white blood cells
White blood cells in your body are recruited by a
substance called leukotriene B4, or LTB4. Most chronic
inflammatory diseases are characterized by an
overproduction of LTB4.
But Omega-3 fatty acids can be converted into leokotriene
B5, or LTB5. LTB5 recruits white blood cells too, but at a
30 times SLOWER rate than LTB4.
Less LTB4 and white blood cells recruited overall means
less inflammation.
2- Omega-3s send a "slow down" message
Your genes produce a signaling protein called interleukin-
1 (IL-1). Overproduction of IL-1 is associated with most
inflammatory autoimmune diseases.
But Omega-3 fatty acids can send a message to your genes,
telling them to slow down production of IL-1.
Supplementing with Omega-3 fatty acids can lower IL-1
levels by as much as 50%, which is similar to the results
people get from steroid drugs--but without all the
dangerous side effects.
So what should you do?
=================
Preventing or alleviating the agony of autoimmune diseases
is just one of the many benefits you can achieve with Blue
Rock Holistic's VitalMega-3 fish oil supplements.
- http://www.bluerockholistics.com/product/vitalmega3.asp
The suggested 2-capsule daily serving packs 1,200 mg. of
EPA, DHA and other Omega-3 fatty acids in the same pure,
potent form you'd get directly from fish itself (like the
Eskimos do).
And here's the best part: Unlike dangerous, life-altering
steroids or ulcer-causing anti-inflammatories from big
pharma, Omega-3 fatty acids are all natural, safe and
tremendously GOOD for you in so many ways.
If you have an inflammatory immune condition, or want to
prevent one in the future, it's essential to achieve and
maintain a healthy Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio.
Let Vitalmega-3 help you attain this important and
possibly life-saving goal.
And please don't be fooled by the fish oil supplements you
see on the grocery store shelves. The quality, purity and
potency make them practically useless. And when a
supplement doesn't do what you want it to do, the money you
spend on it is 100% wasted. Like burning money. And that
is not something you want to do today.
Get quality. Go Pharmaceutical-Grade. Get results.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
PS: A top-notch immune system is one that's smart AND
strong. Since 80% of your immune system is in your gut,
it's crucial to make sure your population of beneficial
bacteria is as strong as it should be. Super Shield
probiotic formula can make this a breeze for you.
