Could Free Radical Damage Be Draining Your Immune System?
No matter what you may have heard, you can’t actually BOOST your immune system beyond its capacity. That’s right—no amount of orange juice or elderberry tea will “supercharge” your immune system, despite the internet’s assurances.
The best approach isn’t “boosting” your immune system, but figuring out what you can do to make sure it’s operating at full strength when you need it most.
So...how do you do that?

Free Radicals & Your Immune Health
Our body’s natural processes, including our immune system response, become worn down when we are overexposed to free radicals.
Free radicals can damage the body's proteins and cell membranes and weaken the cell's natural defenses, which can leave our body susceptible to diseases and infection.
So, when our immune system is fighting off these free radicals it is leaving us susceptible to other forms of infection. Basically the free radicals are "draining" your immune response, leaving us vulnerable.
The good news is free radical damage can be mitigated by antioxidants. Neutralizing free radical damage will allow your immune system to operate at full strength and fend off those pesky viruses, infections and colds.

Preventing the Drain on Your Immune System
Now that we know free radicals are creating an unnecessary drain on our immune system, we need to figure out how to mitigate free radical damage moving forward.
There are two ways to do that:
1. Avoid unnecessary exposure to free radical sources
2. Neutralize free radicals with antioxidants
As with all medicine and healing, preventions is always the best course of action. An increase in free radicals comes from overexposure to: stress, alcohol, smoking, over exercise, lack of sleep, poor diet, pollution, environmental toxins, infection, medication, the sun, radiation, blue-light and the list goes on.
So, the first step is to implement lifestyle changes that help us minimize those triggers. But, let’s be honest, we can’t avoid those 100%. And even if we put changes into place today, chances are we’re already battling a lifetime of allowing free radicals to do damage to our bodies.
That’s why we also need to rely on step #2: neutralizing free radicals with antioxidants.
Free radicals are essentially molecules missing an electron. Antioxidants are molecules that have extra electrons. If you don’t have enough antioxidants in your body to balance out the free radicals, they will steal electrons from healthy cells.
That triggers a destructive chain reaction that causes plenty of damage to the body, including depleting the immune system, causing cellular inflammation, and damaging DNA.
Antioxidants are the ONLY way to neutralize free radicals. But not all antioxidants are created equal.
