Your body is pretty impressive. Just think of all the amazing things it does without you even realizing. Your immune system, for example, is constantly working over-time to protect your body from the bombardment of toxins and illnesses present in our modern environment.

But as amazing as your immune system is, it still needs a little help from time to time, in fact, with the prevalence of chemicals and carcinogens in everything from the food we eat to the air we breathe your immune system needs all the help it can get!

While there are many types of artificial immunity boosters available, you should do your body a favour and choose healthier more natural alternatives, many of which can be found in your own home!

Boost Your Immune System With Garlic

Raw garlic in the diet is very beneficial, however cooking garlic can destroy some of its health-promoting compounds. One way to get around this problem is to take Kyolic aged garlic extract. The natural ageing process increases antioxidant levels and enhances garlic's immune boosting powers. It also has the added benefit of being odourless so you avoid the strong smell.

Level Up with Apple Cider Vinegar

As apple cider vinegar is fermented, it contains beneficial bacteria and prebiotics that can have a positive impact on immune system. It also has antibacterial properties that can fight off the pathogens that can have a detrimental effect on your health. Lastly, it encourages detoxification through lymphatic drainage which can help the body remove the bad bugs more quickly.

If knocking back a shot of ACV every day is not your cup of tea, you can take this in capsule form like The Tonik Apple Cider Vinegar supplements.

Kick Your Immune System Into High Gear with Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an extremely important nutrient for boosting immunity. Include plenty of foods high in vitamin C in the diet, including fresh fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits, kiwi fruit, strawberries, broccoli, cabbage and parsley. A vitamin C supplement is also recommended to ward off colds and flu, take around 2-3 g a day.

Give Your Immune System the Ultimate Boost With Oil Pulling

Another way to help out your hard working immune system is to reduce the amount of toxins, viruses and harmful bacteria present in your system. A great way to do this is oil pulling. Oil pulling is an ancient detoxification therapy that uses oil to bind with the bacteria in your mouth.

This in turn eases the workload on your immune system helping you live a healthier and happier life. When you throw in the added bonus of a whiter smile oil pulling really in a no brainer! We suggest either coconut oil or sesame oil is best for the job, however if you need something alittle easier to use Keeko Oil has a range of formulated oil pulling that is naturally mint flavoured.
