Immune System
Feeding Your Defense System
Your immune system is your body's very own personal army and, like all armies, it needs to be well nourished to carry out its duties. Here are some tips for feeding your defense system.
Feeding Your Defense System
In the very simplest of terms, our immune system is our body's very own personal army! And, like all armies, our immune system needs to be well nourished to carry out its responsibilities.
What Stress Does to Your Body
Stress has been linked to physical complaints and exacerbation of diseases that affect virtually every organ in our bodies.
Feeding Your Defense System
I recently read an article about the effort and planning that goes into feeding a nourishing diet to our troops. It explained that, over the years, the armed forces menu has changed to keep up with our knowledge of nutrition. That menu currently includes more than 1,700 standardized recipes designed to provide tasty meals that supply adequate calories as well as meet the nutrition initiatives of the Office of the Surgeon General for lower salt, lower fat, higher complex carbohydrates and more fiber. Bottom line: if we want a powerful and successful military, we must insure that our troops are well nourished and provided with healthy food choices.
