There are countless scientific reports that recommend the preventive use of fruit and vegetables for the defense against infection, cancer, diabetes and dermatological pathologies. Even if we only wanted to increase our bodies’ ability to combat free radicals (and therefore wrinkles and ageing, in addition to various degenerative illnesses) we would need to introduce antioxidant minerals into our diet. We suggest Manganese-Zinc-Copper, Cellfood, Selenium Vitamin C, Bio45 among the products that provide valid aid (see instructions for use at bottom of document).
Fruit and vegetables for the fight against pollution
We’re surrounded by pollutants, virus and threatening bacteria, by the recurring fear of catching the seasonal flu and by the ever present one of dying from cancer. What can we do to feel more protected?
Our immune system is an extremely valuable defence aid. It’s designed to be stimulated, to analyze the outside world and find the best means of adaptation possible for the body that lives in it.
Let’s take a look at what Dr. Attilio Speciani, Immunologist, expert in Natural Medicine and Scientific Director of Eurosalus, suggests in his book “Resistere all’inquinamento” [Surviving pollution] (Techniche Nuove) for encouraging this adaptation and strengthening our individual defences.
Prevention by eating
Together with the other guidelines outlined below, here are three user-friendly key diet strategies that are the greatest allies for defending and strengthening your body.
1) Choose foods that are healthy and organic
The first strategy consists in increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables that you eat and reducing pre-packaged food. Even by simply eliminating store-bought snacks and sweets and substituting them with homemade ones and organic foods, you’ll be making a positive contribution to your health.
Even these foods can’t guarantee the total absence of pollutants, but we can be sure that by choosing organic foods, we are reducing the contaminants that reach our bodies and are therefore cutting down on the interferences with our immune system caused by food substances.
What’s more, recent studies have found that the regular consumption of healthy foods has a greater effect on our health than if we simply limited ourselves to avoiding unhealthy foods.
2) Go for raw, fresh and colorful
If you regularly eat something “raw, fresh and colorful” before eating anything else (even before your morning coffee or a breadstick at the restaurant), it has a “reset” effect on your immune system.
The intestine represents the immune system’s greatest surface area of contact with the outside world; by activating the immune cells with something wholesome, all of the system is stimulated to respond against any harmful substances that may penetrate the body by way of the food that you eat.
Of course it would be a good idea to start each meal with a mixed salad or plate of fresh vegetables, but even a small piece of apple or a raw carrot, before any other food, offers an invaluable protection.
This simple gesture, when practiced during the autumn and winter, gives surprising results in the prevention of infections. What’s more, it provides for a better absorption of the vitamins and minerals that are contained in the produce and aid in healing food hypersensitivities.
You’ll know that you’re getting all of the necessary vitamins and minerals by the variety of colors of the fruits and vegetables on your plate.
3) Take one day a week for “cleansing”
In the course of our daily nutrition, we eat an assortment of substances that tend to repeat themselves in a surprising way even when we think that we are eating a varied diet.
Milk, dairy products, hydrogenated vegetable fats, salt, wheat, yeast and sugar are contained in almost all foods, even though they are sometimes disguised. Reducing our intake of the most common foods and striving to eat as naturally as possible is not always easy, but almost anyone can abstain from these substances once a week in order to free the body from any possible overloads.
A typical diet menu on this day could be, for example: breakfast with fresh fruit, puffed rice cakes with honey, tea, freshly squeezed orange juice; for lunch a mixed salad, without vinegar and little salt or fresh raw vegetables, roasted fish or meat with boiled rice, side dish of grilled potatoes or steamed vegetables; for dinner a vegetable soup, carpaccio (raw, thin slices) of meat or swordfish or hard boiled eggs, mixed vegetables as above, fruit.
Other guidelines
Some other guidelines for prevention, especially useful when associated with each other, are:
— An appropriate use of supplements containing minerals, vitamins and plant extracts, keeping in mind that the best results are obtained on a personalized basis (for example after having taken a mineralogram );
— Testing for and treatment of any possible food intolerances ;
— Meditation, an activity that has beneficial effects on pressure, hormone and mood balance, the response to psychophysical stress: fifteen minutes two times a day;
— Physical exercise. Many studies confirm that it is one of the activities that has the greatest stimulus on the immune system and on general psycho-emotional conditions: half an hour of moderate physical exercise at least four times per week;
— The pursuit of a good psycho-emotional balance (maybe with the help of an expert, or the appropriate natural remedies, during critical moments), that helps a person respond to everyday life situations without excess stress.
— The treatment of any illnesses that might occur with the use of gentle therapies that respect the body, like those proposed by Homeopathy and Phytotherapy. And a constant, direct and sincere relationship with your family doctor.
