How to boost your immune system
continued from page 3
9. Be a fat detective
Eat the good fats, not the bad. Eating the right kind of fat is absolutely essential for health. You need to investigate which are the ones to eat and which ones to avoid.
10. Exercise kitchen care
Use safe cooking methods. Taking some simple precautions in the kitchen can have a dramatic impact on your health. Food poisoning hits the headlines when people come down with salmonella poisoning from eating at the local fast-food outlet. But still, about 20 per cent of the yearly millions of cases of food-borne illness start in the home, where you have complete control over the cooking and cleaning. Low levels of exposure to many germs help your immune system train itself to keep you well defended against infection. But exposure to high concentrations of germs (especially the more aggressive ones) can overwhelm your immune system and make you ill. If you take steps to limit your exposure to the germs in the first place, you can help protect your immune system.
The Immune Advantage - How To Boost Your Immune System by Ellen Mazo, Dr Keith Berndtson and the Editors of Prevention Health Books is published by Rodale/Pan Macmillan, £14.99
