What Weakens Your Immune System?

Our immune systems what keep us well and fight against things that could compromise our health. It’s an important body system to keep in good shape. At Summit Chiropractic andLongevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we strive to help our patients live long, happy, and healthy lives thru a proper functioning nervous system included in the 5 step health formula. Watch out for some of these things that will weaken your immune system.


Not Enough Sleep


 


Sleep is our body’s way of repairing itself and rebuilding healthy systems to carry us through the next day. If you are not sleeping for long enough or are not getting deep, undisturbed, restful sleep, you could be weakening your immune system! Most adults need between seven and nine hours of uninterrupted sleep.


Not Enough Water


 


Water keeps our body system running at peak functionality. Water is the magic electrolyte that aids in the function of our nervous system Water flushes out toxins that can harm us, get us sick, or weaken our immune system. On average, women should be getting nine cups of water in per day and men should be getting in thirteen. Even if you don’t have thirst consuming water is vital to keep the battery at peak charge.


Processed Food and Chemicals


 


Pesticides, preservatives, and the chemicals in non-stick cookware can also weaken the immune system. Choose organic fruits and veggies, foods without preservatives, and use stainless steel cookware.


These immune system suppressors may be surprising, but avoiding them plus leading a healthy lifestyle can help keep your immune system strong and active. Chiropractic care can help, too by allowing your body to function at maximum potential.
