Do You Have the Strongest Lines of Defence?

Inflammation, oxidative stress and ageing are caused by free radical damage, increased when pathogens and toxins invade the body or when exposed to toxic agents not conducive to healthy functioning of the cells. To reduce this damage it's crucial to maintain the strength of the internal and external defence forces. 

White blood cells are located throughout the lymphatic system, with approximately 80% of the immune system lining the gastrointestinal tract to protect the mucosal surface from micro-organisms (unhealthy bacteria, parasites, and yeast overgrowth), low quality food and drink, excess sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and drugs such as anti-inflammatories and antibiotics.

Creating a powerful internal army using specific antioxidant rich nutrients and lifestyle adjustments, whilst maintaining the integrity of the various structural mucosal barriers, are great tools to reduce the risk of hypersensitivity and autoimmune conditions from developing.
