IMMUNE SYSTEM

The immune system develops in mammal before birth. Key to building a strong immune system after birth is nutrition and the gut microbiome with a good balance of good microorganisms to fight against external pathogens and internal side reactions that result in harming the body. Antioxidants play critical role in maintaining a healthy immune system by preventing harmful free-radicals from damaging good cells. Among nutrients that play a functional role include vitamins D, E and C, cartenoids (lycopene and beta-carotene), plant polyphenols and Omega-3 fatty acids and beta glucans provide essential benefits for growth and reduced inflammation. Superfoods that are rich in phytochemicals known to have disease fighting properties. Food calming to the gut such as prebiotics, probiotics to aid with digestion, fructooligoschharides (FOS) to promote digestibility are beneficial in maintaining a healthy gut and a strong immune system. Proteins and aminoacids in particular arginine has shown to increase T-cell immune function in order to respond effectively to pathogens and cancer cells.

Since digestion is important in absorption of nutrients, good oral health will also help in reducing formation of bad bacteria in the mouth and strong teeth will ensure the food is properly chewed.
