How to Boost Your Immune System after Breast Cancer Treatments
If you want to protect yourself from any type of disease, you need to have a strong immune system. Those who have been diagnosed with cancer and have taken chemotherapy or radiation treatment need to get a quick immunity fix.
Under normal circumstances, a person’s immune system is responsible for defending the body against harmful pathogens that try to invade it. A healthy immune system recognizes every normal cell that makes up the human body. It stops at nothing to get rid of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are unrecognizable to it.
3 Tips on How to Boost Your Immune System
Research shows that chemotherapy done on breast cancer patients can significantly weaken their immune system. When this happens, their body will no longer have the much-needed protection needed to fight against infections including tetanus and pneumonia.
If you recently completed your breast cancer treatment, you must be wondering how you can rebuild your immunity knowing that a strong immune system is needed to ward off diseases.
Breast Cancer Car Donations shares these three practical tips on how you can get your body to protect you once again. Check this out.
1. Eat plant-based foods.
Avoid eating animal-based and processed foods. This is a great way to start rebuilding your immunity after getting cancer treatments. In most cases, meat and other animal-based foods contain hormones and pesticides that may cause your liver (the organ of detoxification that’s crucial to your immune system) to get overloaded. In case you’re not aware, cancer cells produce lactate that can poison the liver and cause fat to build up in it before it backwashes into the lymph and blood systems.
Eating the right kinds of food that won’t increase your body’s low-density lipoprotein (LDL) will help prevent cancer from spreading and will increase the person’s likelihood of surviving the disease.
2. Get enough sleep.
It’s absolutely necessary to have uninterrupted sleep in a darkened room with no EMFs (electromagnetic fields) that include computers, cellphones, WiFi, aerials, masts, and more. An hour after you fall asleep, the pineal gland produces melatonin that’s needed to give you a deeper and more restful sleep. Melatonin is a natural antioxidant that also regulates estrogen and growth hormones as it reduces inflammation.
Those who often have disturbed sleep tend to develop hormonally driven cancers. Trying to stay off your phone when you’re in bed in a darkened room before 10:00 p.m. will be good for you.
3. Exercise.
Aside from causing your body to produce positive hormones called endorphins, exercise can also dissolve belly fat, take bodily toxins away, and move the lymph while it oxygenates your blood and reduces your cortisol levels (stress hormone). Did you know that light to moderate exercise for 40 to 60 minutes a day may improve your survival rate by 50%? Doing so will cause your heart to pump more blood into your immune system, thereby strengthening it.
