Your body is constantly at war with the outside world. Microscopic battles rage inside you daily as invaders break their way in and attempt to steal your hard won resources in a plot to grow and multiply, shoving your health aside in the process.
Luckily, the human body is designed to resist these invaders in every way. Our skin is like castle walls, keeping the enemy at bay, leaving only a few ways in, like our nostrils and mouth. These aren’t without their protections either though. We capture and destroy more bacteria, fungus, parasites, and viruses than any of us would like to know about, but sometimes one sneaks past the gates and guards.
This is when our immune systems are truly tested. Your internal army gathers, and specialized attack cells are sent to take care of the problem before it gets out of control. These cells surround invaders and infected cells, engulf them, destroy them with oxygen molecules, and then remove the toxins and waste. It is a complex, efficient, and controlled process, but it can always use a little extra help from you.
Feed your body well and give yourself the tools to have an amazing immune system. Many of us don’t eat healthy. We don’t know what to do with those fruits and vegetables, even when we want to do something about the food we put in our mouths. Smoothies are a great way to get a lot of nutrition in an easy to make, easy to drink way. We can drink a nutrient dense smoothie and get immunizing foods we normally wouldn’t touch.
Raw fruits and vegetables contain many powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal compounds that are much harder to find in cooked and processed foods. They also contain antioxidants that protect our cells from damaging free radicals. Free radicals can make us more prone to disease, illness, and even many of the symptoms of aging. Raw fruits and vegetables also contain beneficial enzymes that encourage good digestion, and a healthy digestive system is a crucial defense.
