We have compiled several of our best tips along with several tips from some of our esteemed colleagues. For the best results, consider incorporating a combination of these. The more the better!

• Keep The Gut Clean And Healthy. A great amount of our immunity is rooted in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, keeping the gut clean and health might be the single most powerful way of optimizing the immune system. Having colon hydrotherapy on a regular basis is the foundation. The other tips given below are effective only to the extent that the gastrointestinal tract is kept clean and healthy.

• Favor Foods That Are Anti-inflammatory, Rich In Antioxidants, And Rich In Nutrients That Promote The Production Of Nitric Oxide. These foods include spinach, kale, parsley, lettuce, arugula, radishes, carrots, beets, pomegranates, watermelon, citrus, cranberries, walnuts, pistachios, seafood, dark chocolate, turmeric, garlic, and cayenne pepper.

• Favor Colorful Fruits And Vegetables. These foods tend to reduce inflammation and free radical damage and support the immune system.

• Take High Quality Multivitamins. These should include minerals also. Pay particular attention to the amount of Vitamins C, D, E, B selenium and zinc are especially important. Vitamin C is best obtained from fresh and raw fruits and vegetables because cooking destroys Vitamin C. When whole-food sources of Vitamin C are limited, supplementation can be beneficial. Vitamin D is best obtained from sunlight which stimulates the skin cells to make Vitamin D from cholesterol. However, supplementation can be helpful during stressful times or when access to sunlight.

• Incorporate Digestive Enzymes. These are key to restoring gut health, and thereby healing the immune system. Australian research confirms that supporting the immune system helps heal inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Instead, these are commonly treated with immune system suppressants that leave the patient with diminished resistance to other diseases. Raw foods, especially pineapple and papaya, are good sources of digestive enzymes. They’re also available as supplements.

• Prebiotics And Probiotics. Prebiotics contain plant fibers that ferment in the colon helping to increase desirable bacteria in the gut. Meanwhile, Probiotics contain live beneficial bacteria, help restore balance in the microbiome, effectively feeding and strengthening the immune system. The aforementioned Australian research suggests declining levels of friendly bacteria in the gut may actually mark the onset of chronic degenerative diseases.

• Healthy Fats. Favor good sources of Omega-3 oil, such as flax, chia seeds, hemp seeds and cold-water fish. Avoid partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and avoid overconsumption of saturated fat.

• Limit Or Avoid Refined Carbohydrates. These include all products made with white sugar and white flour, most notably white bread and pasta.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure – Information Session

With all of the talk about the big ‘C’ Virus, and the flu these days, many people are feeling confused, or feel at a loss of knowing what is the best way to take precautions. 

Clear Path Wellness Center will be hosting an information session on Thursday, March 12th from 6 – 7:30 PM. We will be discussing practical ways of keeping our personal environment as germ-free as possible, and ways to build and maintain a strong immune system. We believe that a strong, healthy immune system is our best defense against any virus or bacteria. 

We are offering FREE BioPhotonic Scans during this session. The normal value is $20. This scan will provide a baseline indication of how well one’s body will defend itself against germs. It measures antioxidant levels within the hand, at the cellular level, and is non-invasive. The BioPhtonic Scanner is a cutting edge measuring tool that gives a Skin Carotenoid Score.

We will also be offering FREE Scans during the day all week, for those who have just a few minutes to stop in. Monday – Friday, March 9th – 13th, from 11 AM until 5 PM.
