The immune system houses two interconnected systems that work together to provide you with a complete shield from foreign pathogens. [1]

These two systems are:

• The innate (non-specific) immunity
• The acquired (specific) immunity

Interestingly, the vast majority of immune cells and antibodies are located in your gut, as they need to ensure the balance of your gut microbiome.

How nutrition can help your immune system: Researchers repeatedly identified the crucial role of nutrition and gut microbiome in sharpening the efficiency of your immune system. For instance, one study conducted by Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine identified several foods with immune-modulating properties, including broccoli, garlic, and ginger. [2][3][4] It has been concluded that eating the right food can significantly improve the function of your immune system, which reduces the risk of infections and serious diseases.

Another large study published by Cambridge University analyzed the effects of several vitamins on the immune system to see their possible impact on cellular and humoral responses. [5] One of the studied molecules was vitamin D. They found that vitamin D maintains the signaling pathways between regulatory and effector immune cells – giving a possible mechanism for vitamin D’s role in immune support.

These studies only emphasize the role of nutrition on your immune system and how you can use nutrition to your favor.

😳 Tinnitus And Brain Health?

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat

By Mike Westerdal CPT

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
