Savers are familiar with powerful immune-boosting and bone-building vitamins, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, and other well-known nutrients. But today, you'll discover three unusual and fascinating ways to build immunity that also rejuvenate your bones.

It’s so amazing how immunity and bone health are tied together! I’m quite sure that you’ll be surprised by these interesting connections.

1. Keep A Sense Of Wonder And Admiration

This is not about a supplement– it's about an attitude you can cultivate and enjoy. Researchers at the University of California-Berkeley conducted an amazing study that shows a link between positive feelings (especially awe) and good health.1

Study participants were asked to give an account of their emotions at the end of the day. Tissue samples from the mouth were taken from each participant and analyzed for their cytokine levels.

Cytokines are inflammation markers found throughout the body and are at particularly high levels during times of infection and inflammation. The latter, greatly increases the risk of fracture.

In this study, the cytokine Interleukin 6 was found to be lowest in those who experienced the most positive feelings: love, joy, pride, compassion, awe, and amusement.

It was awe, however, that is especially linked to good health, according to the study’s lead author, Jennifer Stellar. It’s that sense of wonder and amazement that you get when you look at a powerful waterfall, a rainbow, or even lightning during a thunderstorm.

This may sound familiar if you have the Osteoporosis Reversal Program. The importance of a happy, healthy outlook and its relationship to bone health is discussed at length in the Osteoporosis Reversal Program.

In it, there are detailed steps for getting rid of bone-damaging stress, and one of the steps is to connect with nature. I don’t know about you, but when I see a breathtaking view, a body of water, a forest, etc., I am in awe at the marvels of nature. It’s the perfect remedy for generating that bone-saving sense of wonder.

2. Laugh Often

When was the last time you had a really good, deep laugh? Many of us can’t even remember when we’ve had a true “belly laugh.” But we should do it more often, according to a study from Indiana State University.

Thirty-three adult women were divided into two groups. One group watched a funny video, while the control group viewed a video on tourism. Blood tests and questionnaires showed that the funny video group claimed lower stress levels and had significantly higher levels of “natural killer cells,”2 which are white blood cells that specifically target and destroy cancer cells.

This indicates that laughter has a positive effect on the immune system. In fact, laughter apparently can boost your body’s own anti-cancer mechanism. Incredible!

3. Limit Your Exposure To Toxins

Unfortunately, there is just no way to completely avoid toxins in our modern world. For example, individuals exposed to dioxin, one of a group of highly toxic chemicals produced as a byproduct in the production of herbicides, paper bleaching, and other industrial processes, exhibited greater frequency of “antinuclear antibodies and immune complexes.”3

From dioxins to PCBs, these poisons are rampant. And the evidence is mounting that these substances – called xenobiotics when found inside the human body – suppress immune function to potentially debilitating degrees.

Chronic immunosuppression can lead to recurrent fungal, bacterial, and other microbial infections, and a host of other conditions associated with compromised immune function (including some forms of cancer).

According to a scientific report on this topic:

“Studies of human immunodeficiency diseases and the counterpart animal models emphasize the potentially serious consequences of immunosuppression, whether it occurs as a result of heredity, aging, or nutrition or is acquired as a result of exposure to xenobiotics.”3

The report goes on to explore environment contaminants, noting that:

“…environmental toxicants are implicated in a number of reports that describe increased rates of neoplastic disease or infection in humans associated with immune-system changes.”3

Such pollutants are detrimental to bones, too, creating an acidic environment and taxing the kidneys and liver.

So while avoiding these and other toxins as much as you can makes sense…

It Also Makes Sense To Be Proactive About Removing Toxins From Your Body

In addition to avoidance, periodic removal of toxins is crucial, because as mentioned earlier, you simply can’t avoid them all.
