CHOMP on this to BETTER your ‘born immunity’
Friend, I hope you and your family have managed to stay well over the last couple of years… which we’ll soon look back on as the “Pandemic Times.”
There’s a lot we still don’t understand about how the virus spreads… what its TRUE impact is…
And what the long-term effects will be.
But here we are… over 2 years in… and there’s one thing that’s got experts scratching their heads.
If more than HALF of all living Americans have been infected by COVID-19 at one point or another, according to CDC estimates…
What sets the INFECTED folks apart from the UNINFECTED?
Because it DOESN’T seem to be adherence to “mandates.” And some experts aren’t even crediting vaccines!
In fact, The Washington Post just ran a piece suggesting we look at the genetics of those who’ve managed to DODGE infection…
As though some folks might’ve been essentially BORN with iron-clad protection!
I have another suggestion.
I’d like to look at the differences between how the “sick” and the “well” SUPPORT their immune function.
Because it may NOT be a matter of whether or not you’re “born with it.”
Until we know for sure… I’ll never stop TIRELESSLY looking for new ways to support our natural defenses…
Pandemic or no pandemic.
Today, I’d like to share the latest news with you about carrots.
Now, I know what you’re thinking…
You already know that eating carrots is good for maintaining your eyesight.
But there’s MUCH more that these root veggies can offer.
You’ve read before right here in eAlert how carrot seed oil could help BEAT BACK “old age” when used topically…
Thanks to its antioxidant… anti-inflammatory… and antimicrobial properties.
Turns out, the “meat” of the carrot… even the stuff left over after the carrots have been juiced… contains substances that also help support immunity.
They’re called rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) polysaccharides…
And one study showed how they might IMPROVE the microbiome by acting as a prebiotic.
I’ve shared with you before how your gut health is intimately tied in with your immune health…
And that you don’t JUST need to take probiotics to help BALANCE your gut flora…
Because your “good bugs” need prebiotics to feed on… so they can THRIVE!
Carrot-derived RG-I doesn’t stop there.
Because it’s ALSO been shown to help ENHANCE innate immunity… which is the immune protection we’re born with.
That’s right – you’re not just STUCK with whatever you were given at birth. You could IMPROVE upon it!
In one study, consuming RG-I ahead of a rhinovirus infection (like the common cold) helped REDUCE symptom severity by 20%…
And SHORTEN the duration of symptoms by 25%!
At the center of the latest research on carrot’s benefits to immunity is the patented ingredient out of the Netherlands, called BeniCaros.
You can find it in the Stem & Root Daily Immunity blend… which combines this carrot ingredient with zinc.
Full disclosure: Stem & Root’s maker is Bayer, the company behind aspirin and many other OTC and even Rx drugs.
So this looks to me like an example of a Big Pharma company getting in on the action as the natural health industry grows.
It’s your choice whether you’d like to FILL their pockets with YOUR money…
Or wait for another company… one whose values align with yours… to come out with a similar immune support product.
To your healthy immunity,
Sarah Reagan
