AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS

Autoimmune Disorders

With an autoimmune disease, the immune system malfunctions and starts attacking the body’s healthy cells and tissue. While there are no cures for autoimmune diseases, there are ways of boosting the immune system to reduce the severity of symptoms and prevent outbreaks.

Dehydration reduces the volume of blood and lymphatic fluids necessary for a healthy immune system response. Together, dehydration and inflammation impair the immune system and can cause chronic autoimmune diseases. This means that healthy hydration works both to strengthen the immune system and reduce dehydration as a side-effect.

Useful Resources

Halibut

One 3-ounce serving of halibut has more than a full day’s worth of vitamin D, which is linked with reduced risk of rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and other autoimmune diseases.

Turmeric

Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful healing compound that’s been shown to alleviate multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease by regulating inflammatory substances in the body.

Sauerkraut

Traditionally fermented sauerkraut is loaded with probiotics, which help balance the gut microbiome and improve the intestine’s barrier function. These are two essential functions in defending the body from autoimmune disorders.

Green Tea

Green tea can work wonders when it comes to inflammation, and it’s a potent drink for autoimmune diseases. This tea has been shown to improve symptoms and reduce the pathology of autoimmune diseases.
