Lately, we’ve been talking a lot about Active and Passive ways to reduce stress and boost immune health …
With the Corona virus still making the rounds, I want to discuss the other leg your immune system stands on:
Remember when we talked about Pasteur vs Bechamp?
Pasteur was all about trying to kill germs while Bechamp’s focus was on what he called your “terrain” or tissue and keeping that healthy to avoid infection in the first place.
I believe in Bechamp’s model of avoiding infection, and so did Pasteur on his deathbed.
To that end, I’m going to reveal my Core 4 “no compromise” micronutrients guaranteed to boost your immune system so you can fight off infection and have more energy every single day!
BUT first … I have a confession to make …
I once ate an entire chocolate bar at 8am …
… And I’m NOT ashamed!
Want to know why?
For these reasons, Immune-Boosting Micronutrient #1 is … Dark Chocolate!
YES!
Here’s why …
It contains 2 very powerful compounds …
1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle so pathogens cannot take root in your body
2. Flavonoids – a class of compounds that bolster your immune system.
You see, you CAN use chocolate as a tool to improve your mood and bolster your immune system …
Just be sure to choose 70% or higher dark chocolate …
As a rule, the darker the chocolate, the greater the benefit for you.
A recent study found that eating dark chocolate led to an increase in the expression of genes involved in the activation of T cells, which are the white blood cells that help us fight infection and disease.
AND there are finally healthy sugar-free options on the market now!
I Like “Lily’s” brand because they use Stevia instead of sugar and they make an 85% dark chocolate bar, which is rare, and delicious!
At least, now you don’t have to feel guilty about devouring that chocolate bar for breakfast anymore …
If anyone gives you a hard time about it, just tell them you’re feeding your immune system and fighting off infection …
But DON”T share any with them …
If they want to get serious about immune health, they can get their own!
Stay tuned for the next Core Immune-boosting Micronutrient on our list - #2 - next time …
‘Til then … Welcome to the “Dark” Side!
To Your Health, Theo
