1. Eat Bright, Eat Right.
The best way to get selenium and zinc, the antioxidants you need to wipe out disease- causing free radicals, is to eat to eat six to eight servings per day of colorful fruits ( apples, oranges, and berries) and vegetables ( like carrots, spinach and broccoli) says Michelle Babb of the Bastyr Center for Natural Health in Seattle. As a rule of thumb, one serving is 1/2 cup of chopped fruit or veggies or one medium-sized piece of fruit.
2. Go with Garlic
Flush out potentially dangerous microbes with one or two cloves of garlic a day, says Alschuler, N.D. Or, take an aged garlic extract supplement such as Kyolic, which contains all the allicin and other antimicrobial compounds found in the real thing, minus the odor.
3. Drink Tea.
Research suggests that L-theanine, found in black,green, oolong and pekoe teas, may enhance the disease- fighting capabilities of the immune system's T cells, allowing them to defend better against invading bacteria. Drink two to four cups of tea per day for a potent brew of amino acids and antioxidants. In addition, tea's dietary phenols also inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the gut.

It is nice to know a few tips like these that are easy to remember and very beneficial. I also never knew that garlic was actually a good way to get rid of dangerous microbes. I think if people knew just a few of these things they could make better choices for themselves that might help them stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteI love garlic, now I have a reason to eat more of it! I was unaware that tea helps control the growth of bad bacteria in your stomach, good to know.
