The immune system is the army that protects us from invaders. It extends throughout all
body systems and is linked to our brain and affected by our state of mind. It protects us
from bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. Its basic strategy is simple: recognize the
enemy and attack. The immune system is perhaps the "most important" body system
when considering living well and maintaining good health. A healthy immune system can meet
all challenges.
The respiratory system supplies oxygen to the blood so that this vital substance can be
distributed to all cells. At the same time, it removes carbon dioxide, a waste product of
body processes.
The primary structures of these systems include the lymph, lymph vessels, and lymph
nodes; thymus; bone marrow; nostrils; bronchi; lungs; diaphragm; and respiratory muscles,
which assist breathing.
Although the immune and respiratory systems are two individual systems, we have linked
them because many respiratory problems originate with a weakened immune system.
When things go wrong
When our immune system doesnt work, we dont work. There are truly too many
disorders relating to a compromised immune system to mention. Some of these include
allergies, AIDS, Graves disease, multiple sclerosis and lupus, bacterial infections,
viral infections, upper respiratory infections (colds, sinusitis, tonsillitis, influenza),
bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema, and asthma.
Why things go wrong
Again, we must repeat, our lifestyle is a prime factor. A diet high in processed foods
and the overconsumption of sugar can weaken the immune system, making it difficult for us
to fight bacteria and viruses. Other factors include exposure to toxic substances, lack of
exercise and rest, smoking, and pollutants.
To maintain immuno-respiratory health
Live the Healthy Cell Concept, paying special attention to eating fruits and
vegetables and getting adequate exercise and rest. Vitamins A, C, B12, E, and beta
carotene and the minerals potassium, copper, iron, and zinc are especially helpful.
Helpful supplements include essential fatty acids, ginkgo biloba, and antioxidants.
