This is what Ethical Nutrients have to tell us about How to boost immunity
During the winter season, it is important to think about how you can boost your immune system in order to get the better of those nasty cold and 'flu bugs that are flying around. Immune function can be increased or decreased depending upon factors such as what we eat, which supplements we take, how much sleep we get and even our stress levels! The great news is that if your immune system is not quite fighting fit, you can support it through a wholesome diet, quality sleep, exercise, and a few well-chosen supplements.
Zinc is essential for healthy immune function
Your immune system is a collection of various cells, hormones and tissues designed to protect you against bacteria, viruses and other pathogens that attempt to invade your body. White blood cells are an important component of our immune system. The function of our white blood cells is to defend the body against disease-causing organisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. Zinc is crucial for normal development and function of our white blood cells. Therefore, zinc deficiency can cause a dramatic impairment in the body's ability to properly respond to infections, as a deficiency reduces capability of white blood cells to fight bacteria and viruses.
Ethical Nutrients Mega Zinc Powder is a highly concentrated, great tasting raspberry powder that contains zinc, vitamin C and other nutritional co-factors to rapidly boost zinc levels and support normal healthy immune function. Ethical Nutrients Mega Zinc powder may assist a normal healthy immune system reducing the severity and duration of colds, providing symptomatic relief of allergies, and assisting in the management of upper respiratory tract infections.

Exercise and immunity
Numerous surveys of fitness enthusiasts and athletes indicate that between 60% and 90% feel that they experience fewer colds than their sedentary peers. The health benefits of exercise are unmistakable. Regular aerobic exercise is beneficial for the heart, resistance exercise builds muscle, and regular moderate exercise seems to improve immune function. Find an activity you enjoy - such as dancing or swimming - and make it a regular part of your lifestyle for fun, fitness and a healthy immune system.
What role does diet and lifestyle play in our immunity?
There are many dietary and lifestyle factors that can help determine how strong your resistance to infection is. These include:
* Sleep: Quality sleep is vital to good health and a healthy immune response.
* Diet: Over-processing of our food has become common in the last decade with the results that many packaged and fast foods have little or no nutritional benefit and yet are high in sugar, fat and salt. In order to boost our immune system, it is important to reduce fatty, processed foods and eat lots of fruit and vegetables, wholegrains and foods containing essential fats (such as oily fish, nuts and seeds).
* Stress Levels: Stress hormones inhibit the function of all aspects of immunity. This could result in worsened infections and slowed wound healing. Taking time each day for relaxation and leisure is important for healthy immune function.
* Supplements: Taking Ethical Nutrients Immune Defence Cough Cold Relief and Ethical Nutrients Mega Zinc Powder is a great way to ensure optimal immune function.
