Resist trouble
If the resistance of the body weakens, it becomes more
susceptible to infection caused by pathogens (viruses, bacteria). Although
variation in pathogen resistance can be genetically related, there are also
lifestyle factors which may weaken or strengthen the immune system. Factors
which may result in weakened resistance include lack of rest, poor diet,
consumption of alcohol or other drugs, or exposure to physical or mental stress.
On the other hand, proper rest and good nutrition can help support homeostasis
in the body.
Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a tropical vine native to
the jungles of South America. It gets its name from the small, hooked thorns at
the base of its leaves, which resembles the claws of a cat. Cultures native to
the Amazonian Basin have considered Cat’s Claw a valuable herb for centuries. It
is only recently that modern science has begun to explore this plants unique
nutritional properties. Studies have indicated evidence that the alkaloids,
tannins and phytochemicals in Cat’s Claw help support the production and
activity of the lymph cells, and the overall optimum functioning of the immune
system. It may also have exhibited some antibiotic and anti-inflammatory
properties. Cat’s Claw has also shown anti-oxidant effects.
Zinc
provides nutritional support for the healthy functioning of the immune system,
and participates in normal cell division.
