Defense Maintenance
The average diet contains many food ingredients that actually deplete certain
nutrients. Commonly used substances such as sugar and caffeine, for instance,
cause the body to increase its elimination of vital nutrients such as zinc,
calcium, B vitamins, and others.
Nowadays, with the widespread occurrence of immune-related ailments, it's more
important than ever to keep a healthy and well-nourished immune system. Avoiding
too much caffeine, processed sugar and processed foods is a good place to start.
Adding plenty of antioxidant-rich cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli,
cabbage and cauliflower) and fresh fruits is also a good way to fortify your
body.
Defense Maintenance is Nature's Sunshine's key formula for nourishing the immune
system. The formula is a powerhouse of antioxidants, cruciferous vegetable
powders, and extra vitamins and minerals that support immune function. Defense
Maintenance may help counter the effects of poor foods, pollution, and other
things harmful to people in modern societies.
Why is nutrition so important to immunity? Following are just two examples.
Without vitamin A, cells lining external and internal surfaces of the body would
not be able to perform their functions. Another nutrient, vitamin C, helps the
immune system form white blood cells, which are necessary for fighting bacteria
and viruses. Other antioxidants such as zinc, selenium and vitamin E all have
specialized roles in the body.
