1. Boost your beneficial bacteria
70-80% of our body’s immune system is in the gut…
gut health
Boosting beneficial gut bacteria or improving gut health prevents luminal colonisation by pathogenic microorganisms. This can assist with improving low immunity symptoms.
For a specific concern you need to get the right blend of bacteria cultures. This balance is hard to find in today’s world.
Natural probiotics

2. Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids
Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids are essential dietary nutrients. These essential fats are found in all our cells and cannot be made by our bodies. This is why our diets must be rich enough to supply them.
The ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 essential fatty acids that we consume directly impacts health of immune and inflammatory response. Omega-3 can be found in flax seeds, hemp seeds and pumpkin seeds, walnuts, rapeseed oil and fish. Omega-6 can be found in safflower, sunflower, corn, cottonseed and sesame oils. Ideally we need them in a ratio of about 1:3, but the modern diet, and the fact that Omega-3’s are fragile and easily destroyed by heat, means that we actually get closer to a 1:10 ratio of these fats. Therefore, we either needs to radically alter our diets, or we need to supplement Omega-3.

3. Avoid Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D is an essential immune nutrient. It’s also one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in Britain. Sunlight is our primary source of vitamin D. The government now recommends that we all supplement vitamin D during autumn and winter.
4.Up Your Zinc
Zinc plays an essential role in the immune system. Zinc deficiency increases susceptibility to a variety of infections. Zinc is required to heal wounds and fight infections. Aim to get the recommended minimum: 15mg Zinc per day. Zinc rich foods include shellfish e.g. oysters, crab, prawn, organic grass fed beef, lamb, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds and eggs.
