Overall, your immune system does a remarkable job of protecting you from disease-causing microorganisms. But sometimes it fails: some microbe or virus successfully invades your body and makes you sick. Is it possible to intervene in this process and strengthen your immune system? What if you improved your diet? Took certain vitamins or herbal supplements? Made other lifestyle changes in the hope of creating an almost perfect immune response?
Here are a few things you should know about the immune system and how to improve it with the help of fish oil:
What is the immune system?
These are all the things our bodies use to fight infection: antibodies, cells, and many other things that keep us healthy. Overall, the immune system does an amazing job of handling the harmless microbes that live in and on us. At the same time, it identifies and expels the more harmful kinds that can cause disease.
What can you do to avoid getting sick?
There are so many viruses that have evolved to cause colds – perhaps 200 or more. It's hard to figure out how we can beat them all. They spread from person to person through tiny droplets in the air, or through mucus that ends up on hands and surfaces. You can take sensible steps to reduce the risk of transmission, such as washing your hands regularly, eating healthily, and cutting back on harmful habits like smoking and drinking alcohol.
What about children? Why do they get sick more?
The immune system has to learn: it has to build up experience. Just as we go to school to learn facts, we also go there to pick up germs and train our immune system.
For example, once it has encountered a virus, the immune system usually keeps a “memory” of how it got rid of that virus from the body. If it encounters the same virus again later in life, the immune system can draw on that “memory” and attack and defeat the virus before it makes you sick.
Children's immune systems haven't yet learned to fight the various types of viruses. That's why they get sick much more often than adults.
How will fish oil help you improve your immune system?
So, how do you make sure your immune system stays healthy and keeps viruses and germs at bay? Of course, eating healthily, getting enough fruits and vegetables, and drinking at least two liters of water a day must all be part of your daily routine. But there's one more element that will help you have a healthy immune system, whether it's cold and flu season outside or not – omega-3.
Omega-3 is one of the most popular supplements in the world. Millions of us take omega-3 every day to support our heart, brain, and joints. But did you know that omega-3 can also help support your immune system?
How does Omega-3 affect the immune system?
Lymphocytes are cells that patrol the body for potential threats in the form of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and, without getting too technical, can be classified as T-cells or B-cells. This is where the role of Omega-3 comes in, since various studies show that supplementing the diet with Omega-3 can significantly increase the activation and number of T-cells in the body, and therefore its ability to fight disease.
