Is it possible that you can not only alleviate your symptoms, but heal your #autoimmune disease all together? The answer for many is yes!
It’s no surprise that as we become more stressed and the quality of our food and water gets worse, autoimmune disease is on the rise. But there are natural solutions available to you. Even better s that none of them are complicated or difficult.
Last week a male friend of mine posted on Facebook that a few months ago he had discovered he had an autoimmune disease that he thought only affected women. That led me to do some more investigating on how women are affected by autoimmune diseases…
Our immune system, which protects the body against external illnesses, turns into a foe by attacking the body itself. This response occurs due to excessive invasion by foreign entities like chemicals & viruses.
The white blood cells are sent by the immune system to fight a battle that never existed, leading to inflammation of the tissues, joints, muscles, etc. Autoimmune diseases are complex and as Dr. Hyman (M.D., American Physician and New York Times Best Seller) states that ”If you want to cool off inflammation in the body, you must find the source. Treat the fire, not the smoke.” #Yoga and Ayurveda have emerged to be our saviors, with a range of postures and herbs.
A survey states that 200 #breast cancer patients survivors when they started doing yoga, twice a week for 90 minutes showed a substantial decrease in stress and fatigue levels (major contributors in autoimmune diseases) comparison to those who never practiced it. The three markers of inflammation were lowered by 10% to 15%.
Ironically until the last 10 years, the phenomena of one’s body attacking oneself was unbelievable and there was no substantial proof to testify the same. Various scientific studies testify the phenomena now, but unfortunately there is no direct medicine for the same.
An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue by mistake. There are more than 80 types of autoimmune disorders – #arthritis, #multiple sclerosis, pernicious anemia, vitiligo, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, Addison’s disease, Type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto’s disease to name a few.

Healing Autoimmune Disease
According to Dr. Mark Hyman, autoimmune disease kills more women than heart disease and breast cancer!
Yoga
Yoga and #meditation are both great ways to deal with autoimmune disease and Yoga Nidra is not only very easy to do, but really helpful. This video will walk you through the process.
Your Diet
I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention that diet change is one of the most important changes you can make when you are moving toward increased health, whether you have any currently known issues or not. The friend that I mentioned at the beginning found that eliminating animal products got rid of all of his symptoms very quickly and also had the added benefit of weight loss.
Eliminating processed foods from your kitchen is a smart thing to do. The more whole foods you include in a plant-based diet, the better.
It’s all part of having a healthy ageless body as part of your #ageless lifestyle after 50.
