Feel better, live brighter
If you suffer from any of the following, lifestyle medicine (alongside any ongoing medical treatment) can make an important difference to your day to day health and wellbeing:
- Long covid
- Frequent infections
- Autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis
- Skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis
The nutrition-immunity link
For all of this to work properly, we need enough intake and absorption of unprocessed whole foods that provide macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and healthy fats), as well as micronutrients (including Vitamins C, A, and D, Zinc, Iron and Selenium). We also need a wide variety of plant-based foods, in order to support our microbiome and provide antioxidants, both of which play important roles in supporting immune function.
When we have insufficient or inadequate nutrition, our immune systems do not work at their best. This makes us more susceptible to infection. Sometimes, our immune systems may begin to work in overdrive and attack our own body as if it were a foreign pathogen. This is called autoimmune disease.
About the immune system
The immune system is like an orchestra of many different cells, all playing their unique part in a complex array of signalling mechanisms, chemical reactions and pathogen killing processes. When even one section falls out of tune, the entire symphony of immune defence can become disrupted.
Small changes can make a big difference
If you’re experiencing new or persistent immune related symptoms, start by speaking with your GP. From there and alongside medical management, consider one of our tailored wellbeing packages to help you move toward feeling more like yourself again.
