Firstly, what exactly is our immune system?

Good question. It’s kind of like the immigration police - it stops foreign entities in your body, to protect you.

There are several different types of immunity, such as innate, acquired, active, passive, natural, artificial and cover everything from mother’s antibodies passed at birth to medicines and vaccines and your organs, tissues and skin.

You probably know that gut heath is important too, right?

Well, inside your gut are around 100 trillion live microorganisms that promote good GI function, protect the body from infection and viruses, and regulate metabolism and the mucosal immune system.

Here’s the startling fact: Your gut makes up more than 75% of the immune system!

So you absolutely need to take care of your gut, or you will be unhealthy!

...And because of all this, your good gut health is the No.1 most important immunity factor.

Compromised gut health = Compromised Immune system = Risk factors for disease & Greater risk of virus

So in Part 1 of 5 in this Immunity Boosters Challenge, let’s look at 7 simple yet extremely powerful ways to boost your gut health immunity…

Physical exercise is great not only for keeping your body healthy but also your mind and it can be incorporated into spiritual health too. Exercise can help with memory and cognitive health, sleep quality, immune function, cancer prevention, blood pressure regulation and is as effective at dealing with depression as anti-depressant tablets and drugs. But here’s some worrying facts: Two thirds of Americans are overweight. Clinical forecasts suggests that by 2030 over half the population will be obese. I’ve been exercising (running) consistently for 17 years - pretty much injury free. I’ve done 50 endurance races including 12 marathons, 1 ultra marathon and 3 triathlons. I’ve also seen many people burn out and get injured and disillusioned. The burning question then that I’ll be discussing today is: “How do we do exercise the right way?”

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The one thing that is much more important than exercise for great physical health.
• The pitfalls and traps to avoid in order to stay healthy, injury-free and enjoying your exercise.
• Practical tips for exercising when life is busy.
• The truth about HIIT – high-intensity interval training.

The alkaline diet is one of the most controversial topics in the area of diet and health. Many people say it’s wonderfully improved their life and health and others say it’s pseudoscience and quackery and makes no sense since we cannot change our body pH. The problem often lies in the fact that we do not properly define what we mean. In this episode, we discuss what a beneficial alkaline diet is and what it isn’t, how it works in harmony with our body’s pH balance and what benefits we can achieve be eating more alkaline foods.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The three main buffer systems that our body has to maintain its correct pH balance.
• The importance of blood haemoglobin and chlorophyll.
• The key benefits of a more alkaline-forming diet.
• Why and how most of the opponents of the alkaline diet have got it wrong.

• The order we must approach the three systems in (note: get the order wrong and great health will be out of your reach).
