- Keep clear of people who are obviously ill.
- Frequently wash your hands.
- Avoid unnecessary handshakes and kisses.
- Get plenty of sleep (important to strengthening the immune system)
- Fuel your immune system by raising glutathione levels.
This last strategy listed, related to glutathione (GSH) and the immune system, has hardly been talked about in the mainstream media, yet, the science behind this strategy is well-researched, documented and quite impressive.
So, what is glutathione you might ask?
In simple terms, glutathione, also referred to by the letters GSH (glutathione sulfhydryl), is a very small protein (peptide) that occurs naturally in the body, where it is assembled inside each and every cell; from the three amino acids, glycine, glutamate and cysteine.
It performs many important functions in the body. However, for the purposes of this article, let me list three of the most important roles it plays.
- Antioxidant (often call the "Master Antioxidant")
- Immune Enhancer (often call "Fuel" or "Food" for the immune system)
- Detoxifier (its enzyme system eliminates pollutants, carcinogens, heavy metals, etc.)
Now, you can take a proactive step against disease... even the Swine Flu.
