Hi lybrate-user One of the most important applications of good nutrition is that it keeps our immune system strong. Genetically all of us are born with a certain level of vitality or bio-energy. This is the very essence of life and it decides your immunity level. One can further enhance immunity by leading the right lifestyle, exercising regularly, eating correctly and taking sufficient nutrients in the form of supplements. Pollution, long working hours, poor stress management, use of stimulants, intoxicants, late nights, poor diet, overeating takes a toll on the immune function and affects the energy level. If there is a lot of toxin accumulation in the blood, you may find yourself getting very tired by the end of the day and this would affect work performance as well as affect the way you deal with people. The wrong choice of foods may make you irritable and short-tempered. This is because food influences almost every aspect of your being. Certain supplements help to improve immunity and boost energy levels. Selenium: Lately, researchers have acknowledged the many benefits of selenium. This trace mineral, until recently, was considered essential for animals but unsafe for humans. Selenium, which works best when taken along with beta-carotene and vitamin E, has the ability to boost the body’s immune system and protect it against free radical damage. As a result, you have a stronger immune system. Its immune boosting properties are attributed to its ability to enhance the production of glutathione peroxidase, a potent antioxidant our body produces. Additionally, selenium helps in the prevention of strokes and hardened arteries and breast and prostrate cancer. Without adequate intake, the body could be subjected to infections and degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer. As we age, our cells get low in selenium, which hastens the aging process. Research indicates that most age related illnesses, including physical and mental deterioration, can be decelerated by supplementing with selenium. How do we get Selenium in our diet? While foods like garlic, sunflower seeds, whole grains and brazelnuts do contain small quantities of selenium, these are not dependable sources as currently, most of our soils are depleted of this mineral. This increases the need to supplement. However, it’s possible for plant foods such black grapes, whole grains, onions, brown rice and garlic to retain selenium if they are grown in selenium rich soil. Quantity: If used for its immune boosting properties, a dose of about 100 micrograms is sufficient. If you are using it for conditions such as anxiety or depression, or for protection against heart disease or cancer, you would need around 150-200 mcg per day. You should not exceed this amount, except under medical supervision, as higher doses of selenium could prove lethal. Indeed, it is possible to tackle the above-mentioned conditions, with other vitamins, minerals, supplements and lifestyle modifications. Apart from selenium, there are other vitamins, minerals, supplements and lifestyles factors which work synergistically to prevent the above mentioned problems but selenium remains a prime player in boosting immunity.
