In this video, you'll discover all the ways that you can boost your immune system by using
targeted nutrition.
Over the past couple of months, we've been dealing with a few things.
One of them has been influenza and the other one's been Coronavirus.
Neither of them need any introduction because I'm sure you're familiar with them, but what
does need some more explaining is the ways that you can boost your immune system naturally
using targeted nutrition.
And so that's what we're going to discover in this video.
So stick around to the end as I break down the top things that you can do in all those
science behind it.
Stick around to the end, but before we get started, I'm Dr. Zyrowski and welcome to the
channel.

Now before we get started, one of the things I want to say, I think it's an absolute travesty
that we don't hear anything on how we can actually boost our immune system naturally
using science-based nutrition in order to actually skyrocket immune health to protect
us from any oncoming viral threat.
It's an absolute travesty that we don't hear about it in the media.
We don't hear about it in any way.
All we hear about is the next vaccine, the next medication, but we don't hear about the
natural ways and many people are actually immune depressed, and as a result, when these
different viruses hit them, it is really devastating to their body.
So, let's talk about the ways that you can start boosting your immune system up today.
First on our list is we're going to talk about NAC.
Now, if you're not familiar with NAC, NAC is basically an amino acid.
It stands for N-acetyl cysteine.
Research shows that it has many powerful benefits to offer the body.
First thing it can do here is it helps decrease inflammation.
It helps decrease inflammation because it's a precursor to one of the most powerful antioxidants
in the body - glutathione.
And so as it decreases inflammation, that's very powerful because one of the things that
comes along with these viral tacks is an inflammatory response that in many cases gets out of control
when we have a depressed immune system.
So, it's going to help decrease inflammation.
It also has been shown the science can decrease respiratory attacks.
Why is this so important now more than ever?
Simply because the Coronavirus attacks the lungs.
When we look at the people who are dying from the Coronavirus, they're dying from acute
respiratory distress syndrome.
And typically, when they have this issue, they are not able to breathe and then that
is what they eventually die from.
So, what we want to do here is make sure that we support the lungs.
So, what is out there better to do it then using some N-acetyl cysteine?
Now the other thing is going to do is help stop viral replication.
These viruses just keep replicating in our body.
If we want to get better, we have to stop the replication.
NAC has been shown to do that in the science and also it increases natural killer cells,
a special type of white blood cell that goes in and kills different antigens, different
invaders in the body.
So that's really powerful as well.
So, NAC is really awesome.
Let's talk about zinc here because zinc is also something that we hear nothing about
and it's so important for your immune system.
And this is a mineral.
This is the second most important mineral to the body because iron is the first most
abundant mineral in the body.
Zinc is second.
And a lot of people are actually deficient in this.
And so, when we look at zinc, it's been shown in the research helped decrease infection
risk in elderly.
Now, I mean, we couldn't have something more important than this information right here.
Who's getting the Coronavirus and having a devastating impact from it?
In fact, who gets the influenza and has a devastating impact from it?
The elderly.
And so, we want to make sure that we use zinc in order to help get this benefit.
According to the research, zinc has also been shown to help decrease the common cold by
33% that's a huge number.
It also has been shown to decrease infection time, so if you get the influenza or coronavirus,
if you get a viral attack on the body, it's been shown to actually help decrease the infection
time.
It helps fight the viruses and of course shut down that replication just like NAC does.
So, zinc is also very powerful and very important when it comes to boosting your immune system.
Now, on our list next is vitamin D. Vitamin D is one that most people are familiar with
is pretty important for overall health.
A lot of people don't know why it's so important, but one of the reasons is because it plays
such a critical role in your overall immune health.
It actually activates AMPKs.
These are a special type of cell that really help go in and kill off the different foreign
invaders in the body.
It activates those AMPKs.
It also helps modulate inflammation, which is important as I mentioned.
Sometimes with these different attacks on the body, these viral attacks, bacterial infections,
whatever it may be, sometimes the inflammatory response is a little bit overzealous and it
can go in and be very damaging to the body.
If you look at, for instance, Coronavirus, one of the things that happens is when it
hits the lungs and it sends that storm of inflammation, it does damage that actually
can last a long period of time and so we want to make sure that we're able to modulate inflammation
properly.
Now, there's a study in Norway on vitamin is pretty interesting because what they did
is there was a group of doctors that went and took their patients and they looked at
them and they said, well, vitamin D deficient people versus those who have sufficient levels
of vitamin D. Those who are deficient in vitamin D actually were more likely to get influenza
and pneumonia versus those who had sufficient levels of vitamin D.
Now it's very important to make sure that you have good levels of vitamin D. You should
get these checked if you have not, and also if you're someone who is an African American,
if you're someone who is Hispanic, you are more likely to have a deficiency.
This is very important because if you are more likely to have a deficiency in vitamin
D, then you are also more likely to have a compromised immune system.
So nobody may have told you that, but it's something that's absolutely critical to know.
Vitamin C is next on your list.
Now, vitamin C is one I often refer to as a little bit overhyped.
Most people when they hear about getting sick or they think that there's potential they
might get sick, they typically know to go take vitamin C and they typically take tons
of it, but they leave out all this other good stuff.
So, when we look at vitamin C, we have to realize it is very beneficial, but it's not
the only thing we should be doing here.
Now, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant.
Why is that really good?
Because at this time we want to make sure that we're fighting oxidative stress to decrease
inflammation.
Vitamin C will help with that.
It also has been shown in the research to give an improved immune response, improved
immune function, and also shorten the term the duration in which you are sick.
If you get hit with the influenza, vitamin C can help shorten the duration and the time
in which you're sick.
So, vitamin C is something that is great to have in the mix here.
Now last on our list, and certainly not by any means least is going to be garlic.
Now, garlic is something I love.
I actually liked the taste of it, but also, I love the benefits it has on your overall
health and immune function.
It's a powerful antioxidant and it's been shown to actually help decrease the common
cold by 63%.
They did this study, they had some individuals take garlic individuals that were sick with
the common cold and then another group who did not use garlic.
The group that actually was using the garlic, they were able to decrease the common cold
by 63%.
That's huge.
And so, garlic is really powerful when it comes to fighting off bacteria and viruses
- the whole deal.
Now garlic has also been shown to decrease the common cold symptoms by 70%.
There was another study, same thing.
One group took garlic, the other group didn't.
The group that actually took garlic were able to cut down the symptoms from five days to
one and a half days where those who were not using garlic, they were getting symptoms for
five days.
So, it's incredibly powerful stuff.
But I also want to tell you now if you want to actually learn more about how to boost
your immune system naturally, be sure to check out this playlist right up here because I'll
link up all of the different videos.
But also remember that this is actually part two of a multiple part series on how to boost
your immune system naturally.
I teach you everything you need to know on how to do this.
There's not a more important time to understand this information and it's very important to
understand when we look at all these people who are getting sick, we have to realize that
we live in a society of people who are very immune compromised.
And so, utilize these different nutritional components here, these different nutrients,
and what I'll do is I'll put a link in the description below.
There's this company called Solarity Health that makes us really cool kit that actually
has all of these in it.
You take this kit for a short period of time whenever you're sick or whenever you're trying
to fight something or prevent illness or anything like that.
And they have these packets that have all these nutrients in it and I love it and it's
something that I actually use in my own home.
So, I'll put a link to that in the description below.
And I also will put links in the description below to more information on all these topics.
I do a video on each one of them, breaking them down a little bit further, diving into
the research a little bit more.
So, check all that out.
This is just a starting conversation, but check out this whole immune series and all
the information surrounding it.
Give this video a thumbs up and then go to this video right here to learn more about
immune health.
White blood cells that are spared.
They remember that foreign invader.
The immune system knows it's coming.
It's knows what it is, it knows how to react, it knows how to kill it, and it acts very
fast.
