Keeping Your Immune System Healthy
The human body is an amazing, dynamic and resilient organism. However, we all have limits to our physical capabilities and the ability to absorb stress. By taking care of our bodies through proper nutrition, nurturing care and regular exercise, we can ensure our immune system stays healthy, enabling us to live well every day.
You may not know it, but your immune system is constantly working to keep you healthy. It is the body’s natural defence system, which protects against disease and illness by providing a barrier against infections. However, if your immune system is weakened then this can cause you to get sick more often – so it’s important to keep it in tip-top shape.
A healthy immune system is the building block of good health. Help to keep your body’s defences strong with a range of complementary therapies, including chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, osteopathy, counselling and naturopathic medicine.
Naturopathic medicine is perhaps the easiest to understand in terms of how it might help. Your naturopathic doctor at Yellow Gazebo will take a full, thorough assessment of your health, and may even suggest getting tested to determine your hormone levels, and even what food sensitivities you may or may have that you don’t yet know about.
There are many ways to help keep your immune system healthy. Chiropractic and physiotherapy have been shown to have a positive effect on the body's ability to fight infection. Massage therapy, acupuncture and osteopathy may reduce stress and anxiety, helping maintain normal levels of cortisol in the body. Counselling can help you work through issues that may be affecting your health, as the link between mind and body becomes more clear every day.
Keeping your immune system healthy can be achieved by making positive lifestyle changes. Our team can help you identify the things that could cause a breakdown in your health. Once we know what’s causing it, we work with you to get to the root of the problem and ensure your body has the best chance of overcoming illness and injury.
It’s important to keep your immune system healthy, especially with cold and flu season in full swing. In addition to following the basics — washing your hands regularly, eating well, getting enough sleep and exercise — there are other ways you can boost your immunity.
