Instructions

• 1

  Improve your diet and nutrition by avoiding processed foods and eating as many whole foods and grains as possible along with fresh ocean fish, garlic, sea greens and yogurt.

• 2

  Supplement your diet with antioxidants such as selenium, beta carotene and vitamin E along with CoQ10 and acidophilus, which is a probiotic.

• 3

  Exercise for about 20 minutes three times per week, because exercise enhances the immune system by increasing oxygen, which helps to combat antibodies, or sickness.

  Sleep at least eight to 10 hours per night to help improve your autoimmune system, because this is the time when the body repairs itself.
