Several simple steps, which I fully detail and explain in my eBooks , will maximize these systems. Adequate and regular sleep. The hormone systems that govern our sleep patterns help to regulate and maximize our defence and repair systems. Be positive about life. Happiness and contentment help to offset the effects of stress in modern life.
Stress produces hormones that screw up our immune and enzyme systems.
Adequate and correct diet can go a long way to maximizing the bodies defense and repair systems, but I disagree with some of the traditional healthy menus. Unless we manage our menus correctly, such foods can actually deprive the body of crucial nutrients that allow our enzyme systems to function properly. The body knows when it is well nourished and appetite is the mechanism for ensuring this. Lack of nutrients can result in increased appetite and reflect in unhealthy weight gain. A healthy diet should acknowledge hidden deprivation of nutrients.
