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.
