<h1>Ways to Boost Your Immune System</h1>Author: <a title="Lyla Feldman" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/lyla-feldman/63178.htm">Lyla Feldman</a> Do you ever wonder why some people get sick and others don’t, although they’re exposed to the same germs?  It has to do with the immune system which is a balanced network of cells and organs that work together to protect against disease.  It also blocks foreign proteins from getting into your body.  Read on to learn more about some natural ways to keep from getting a cold or flu this season.  
 
Begin by keeping your stress levels down to relax and improve your mood.  Try listening to your favorite music, meditating or laughing. In addition, sex has been shown to give a boost of IGA which is a protein from the immune system that helps fight infections.  It plays a critical role in keeping pathogens from entering the body and capturing those that do sneak in.  It produces natural opioid peptide happy little brain chemicals that are releases during sex.  Also, a social support system, with lots of hugging and hard strokes is more foretelling of a long life than age, medical condition and smoking.  
 
Your diet plays a major role in providing support to your immune system. Ideally, your meals should be low in red meat and high in fish and fruits and vegetables (especially blueberries and broccoli).  By squeezing fresh lemon juice into drinks and meals will help to maintain your body’s internal climate at a ph that supports healthy bacteria.  Make sure you don’t submerge the entire lemon into a glass of water because there may be bacteria on the surface.  Also, alcohol in moderation releases opioids and raises IGA levels but too many happy hours bring your immune system down.  Lastly, chicken soup has been proven to pump up the immune system and make you feel better faster.  
 
Moderate exercise is good for the heart and soul but again, too much training and working out runs makes you more predisposed to illnesses.  It is important to get enough sleep to balance out hormone levels and keep your desk germ free by using antibacterial wipes.  Also, spending time in outside in cold weather stimulates the thyroid glands allowing the body to produce the right amount of energy when needed.  Why not integrate some of these words of advice into your life today?
