Easiest Way to Boost Your Immune System
With all the publicity and the huge media storm around the ever-growing number of people testing positive for swine flu, I started thinking about what I can do to ensure I don’t become one of the 6 o’clock news statistics…
There is always the tried and true method of avoiding all human contact. Just stay home, hunker down in my little cocoon and allow no outside germs to invade. Of course, being a responsible human being, and a parent to boot, I don’t think this is the most prudent choice. We’d get hungry eventually. Or tired of each other’s constant company.
I can wear one of those Michael Jackson-style face masks. Unfortunately/Fortunately I am not Michael Jackson and can’t quite pull off the face mask look . In any case, about 95% of the face masks sold are not effective against the virus that causes swine flu. (As far as I know, the only non-scuba face mask that can stop the virus is manufactured by a little company in San Diego that coats their face mask fibers in iodine.)
The extreme, and sometimes silly, choices go on and on… Luckily for me, while debating my many choices I happened to speak with a friend of mine about the growing problem of swine flu – and my corresponding, growing paranoia about it. He reminded me that I’m already doing the best thing possible to protect myself. I’m helping my body boost its defenses and its ability to heal itself through the addition of wheatgrass to my diet.
I’m pretty new to the whole wheatgrass thing so sometimes I forget some of the items on the very long list of its benefits. From my perspective, having so many positives that I can’t keep track of them is a good thing. A very good thing. In fact, for comparison sake, let me tell you the negatives. That list is much shorter and much easier to remember. There is only one negative: it tastes bad. Not terrible, but its not exactly delicious.
In case you’re interested in what a newbie does, I’ll share my wheatgrass routine with you. 3-4 times a week, I drink a 2 oz shot of fresh juice. Not juice from a place that only cuts and juices 1 or two times a day, but from a place that I go cut and juice the grass myself. Every day I take wheatgrass supplements, either in the form of a chewable wafer or a pill to swallow. I’m experimenting with both forms. Right now, I’m really digging the chewable wafer. Probably because they are chocolate flavored, and help satisfy my sweet tooth. Check out my fave wheatgrass wafer here.
Must be working. I feel great! Heathier than ever.
