Cracking the Immune Code. It’s About a Lot More Than Genes.
We all want a strong immune system to protect us against disease and sickness as much as possible, but unfortunately we aren’t all blessed with those great genes, right? Well not so fast, there is some news out this week that gives hope to all gene-types which shows that genes ARE NOT the primary factor in the health of an individual’s immune system.In a review published yesterday, a team of Immunologists share recent studies that show how our environment and history are responsible for 60% to 80% of the differences between individual immune systems. Genetics only account for the other 20% to 40%.
The review also explains that “studies of people living together have shown that air quality, food, stress levels, sleep patterns, and lifestyle choices have a strong combined effect on our immune responses.”
This is great news because unlike our genes, we can definitely make changes in our environment, right?
We can support healthy sleep patterns with products like Pure Sleep, we can help manage our stress with adaptogenic herbs like Holy Basil, and of course FOOD! Nutrient-rich foods, green drinks and food, immune boosting dietary supplements (considered to be foods), and more can all make a difference.
