Looking for ways to avoid getting sick in the upcoming months? You can boost immunity with Keto Zone!

The principles of Keto Zone eating improve overall health, gut health, brain health, and immune function.

Here are 5 ways to boost immunity with Keto Zone.

Top 5 Ways to Boost Immunity with Keto Zone

1. Boost Immunity with Keto Healthy Gut Bacteria

Healthy gut bacteria have a direct impact on the whole body’s immune function. When they are diminished from illness, antibiotics, or other conditions, the immune system suffers.

When they proliferate, the immune system improves (1).

To boost immunity with Keto Zone, eat fermented foods that can improve your gut bacteria. These include:

• Plain yogurt
• Kimchi
• Sauerkraut
• Kefir
• Kombucha
• Tempeh
• Fermented vegetable powders, like Fermented Green Supremefood
• Living foods, like Living Chia with Probiotics
• Probiotic supplements

Do fermented foods really help the bacteria in the gut?

Studies show that people who eat yogurt regularly have more  lactobacilli (healthy bacteria) and less Enterobacteriaceae (inflammatory bacteria) in their intestines (2).

What’s more, probiotic supplements contain live, viable probiotic bacteria in pill or powder form. These supplements are especially beneficial to humans who have digestion issues, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, frequent loose stools, constipation, and more. Typically, probiotics supplements don’t provide a permanent cure to digestion issues, nor do they colonize in the gut permanently.

However, both anecdotal reports and studies show they help acute digestion symptoms. They can also produce beneficial effects on the bacteria in the gut (3).

2. Reduce Inflammation with Omega-3s, Spices, and Low-Carb Keto Zone Eating

Did you know that inflammation is an abnormal immune response that affects the health of the digestive tract (which affects immune function) and whole-body health (1).

Our bodies react with inflammatory responses or anti-inflammatory responses based largely on our health and our diet.

You can use Keto Zone to reduce inflammatory responses and improve the immune system.

How?

First, reduce inflammation by removing high-sugar and high-carbohydrate foods.

Second, increasing your intake of omega-3 foods such as fatty fish, hemp heart seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and others can reduce inflammation

Third, including highly anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric, ginger, cinnamon reducing inflammatory responses.

Fourth, use Keto Zone guidelines to reduce processed foods. Processed foods are often laden with high-omega-6 oils, like soybean oil. These ingredients and oils fight omega-3s and increase inflammation.

As you follow these guidelines, you can reduce inflammation, improve immune function, and even reduce the risk of seasonal depression (4).

3. Eat Less Sugar and Carbs for Better Sleep

There are many advantages to reducing sugars and carbohydrates in the diet. Two are better sleep and better metabolic responses.

When dinners are high in sugary and refined carbs, our bodies have to deal with blood glucose and insulin spikes at a time of day they are not meant to deal with it.

At night, our bodies don’t want to digest and metabolize foods. In fact, late eating, and high carb0hydrate eating during the evening and night are associated with altered metabolism, increased incidence of diabetes, and weight gain (5).

When you don’t eat as much as night, especially carbohydrates and sugars, you can allow your digestive tract to “rest,” and sleep better.

The science is clear: Adequate, high-quality sleep is crucial for immune function, fighting chronic disease, and brain health (6).

4. Focus on Keto-Friendly Vitamin D

Vitamin D plays an important role in immune function. During months when most people don’t receive enough direct sunlight (Autumn and Winter), it’s time to make sure our diets and supplements are high in vitamin D.

In fact, a 2017 analysis of 11,321 participants in the British Medical Journal found that those with vitamin D levels of <10 ng/mL had a higher risk of respiratory infections compared to those at 10 ng/mL or greater (7).

To improve vitamin D levels, make sure you’re:

• Getting outside for direct sunlight exposure to start. Try exposing skin for just 10-15 minutes per day.
• Eating wild fish such as herring, wild salmon (try this Keto Zone chowder recipe), and tuna. Cage-free eggs and cheese also supply small amounts.
• If overweight, using Keto Zone guidelines to lose weight.
• Supplementing vitamin D3 as needed. Just 1000-2000 IU per day in the winter can raise insufficient levels, and up to 4000 IU per day can be used to correct a deficiency. Retest to monitor.

5. Use Supremefoods to Boost Immunity and Healthy Bacteria

Fermented vegetables, grasses, and fruits are full of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that boost immune function.

When eating low carb, it can be difficult to find ways to include enough. A great way to consume them, and stay in the Keto Zone, is with Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood and Organic Red Supremefood.

Supremefoods powders contain amazing ingredients such as:

• Spirulina: Spirulina has been found to improve immune functions and anemia status (8).
• Beets: Beets contain betanins that contribute to three main disease-fighting actions: fighting free radicals, reducing inflammation, and supporting cellular detoxification (9, 10).
• Fermented Wheatgrass: Proteins found in wheatgrass are known to prevent many diseases, oxidative stress, primary metabolism, storage, and energy-related mechanisms (11).

More Ways to Stay Healthy:

1. Hydrate Every Day.  Your body needs water to function its best. Dehydration will affect your energy, immune and lymph systems, and overall health. Drink water, unsweetened teas, and other fluids throughout the day especially during dry winter months.
2. Get outside. When you spend time outside, bundled if needed, you can get a boost in vitamin D, and get away from all the germs that circulate indoors. In fact, just exposing your hands and face to sunlight allows your body to synthesize vitamin D. Make it a priority this winter.
3. Wash your hands and avoid touching your face. You get sick for one reason (and one reason only): germs. Bacteria and viruses make you ill by finding a way into your body through physical contact. Once this happens, it’s important having a strong immune system as discussed above. Since most of your contact with the world happens through your hands, washing them often is one key to not getting sick.
