Adrenal Stress and Boosting Immunity
The long-term activation of the stress-response system – and the subsequent 
overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones – can disrupt almost all 
your body’s processes. This puts you at increased risk of numerous health 
problems, including: heart disease, diabetes, depression, digestive issues and 
more…
Stressful events are a fact of life. And you may not be able to change your 
current situation. But you can take steps to manage the impact these events 
have on you. You can learn to identify what stresses you out, how to take 
control of some stress-inducing circumstances, and how to take care of
yourself physically and emotionally in the face of stressful situations. Stress 
lowers your resistance and makes you more vulnerable to illness and disease. 
Prolonged stress lower immunity and affects your health.
Steps you can take to improve immune system function. The first goal is to 
take a look at your lifestyle to see if there is anything that may be 
interfering with your body’s ability to fend off illness:
* Chronic or severe stress
* Excessive consumption of alcohol
* Exposure to environmental toxins
* Cigarette smoke
* Lack of exercise
* Poor sleep quality
* Repressed dissatisfaction, anger or rage
Stress suppresses immunity by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system. 
This is a part of the autonomic nervous system that is responsible for the 
fight-or-flight response. It is essential to try to reduce the amount of stress 
in your life, for a properly functioning immune system.
The basic strategy for stress reduction is to find positive, relaxing ways of 
releasing excess tension and help your autonomic nervous system function 
under parasympathetic control. Have a lymphatic massage every week, take a 
walk in nature, exercise daily, listen to tranquil music, laugh more and be 
totally present to your life.
Eat a diet that is rich in a variety of vegetables including green leafy ones, 
fresh fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds as these are contain 
nutrients that can boost immunity .
Include in your diet: Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, 
collard greens, kale, cauliflower, daikon, mustard greens) as well as sulfur (SH) 
rich vegetables such as onions and garlic, as these increase levels of glutathione. 
Glutathione is an important antioxidant, and helps the immune system fight 
infections and prevent cancer. It is also a powerful detoxifier that eliminates 
carcinogens. Poor diet, pollution, toxins , medications, stress, trauma, aging, 
infections and radiation all deplete glutathione levels in the body. Glutathione is 
a powerful antioxidant vital to many functions in the body including liver and 
brain function Other glutathione-rich foods are asparagus, spinach, avocado, 
squash, melons, grapefruit and peaches.
Broccoli contains sulphoraphane, a powerful phytonutrient that stimulates 
certain enzymes to deactivate cancer cells, allowing them to be digested and 
eliminated from the body. Sulphoraphane helps turn on helper T-cells to 
recognize them as invaders and tell killer cells to respond and destroy them.
• Eliminate sugar from your diet. Sugar makes your white blood cells
sluggish and can impair your immune function.
* Decrease the intake of saturated fats and cholesterol. A diet high
in saturated fat suppresses immunity.
