Relaxing AM Ritual SUPERCHARGES Immune Cells
You can’t always avoid things that can make you sick—COVID-19 was a harsh reminder of that sobering fact.
But you CAN strengthen your immune system.
This gives your body a fighting chance when you come into contact with bacteria, viruses, toxins, and other threats to your health.
Now, a groundbreaking study reveals one of the best ways to do that.
And it turns out it’s a free hack I’ve been encouraging you to try all along…
Research confirms spending more time in the sun boosts your immune system.
Here’s how it works…
Neutrophils are your body’s first line of defense against invaders that cause infection and disease. They are like microscopic Pac-man, gobbling up pathogens they’ve been sent to destroy.
They are your body’s most abundant type of white blood cell.
And—according to the latest research—the key to boosting their infection-fighting power is sunlight.
For this study, researchers used zebrafish because of their genetic makeup is similar to humans.
The immune response in the fish peaks in the morning. And this latest study revealed why.
It turns out neutrophils have a circadian clock that’s activated by daylight. This means their body’s ability to kill bacteria is supercharged during the hours they’re likely to need it the most.
We already know that your circadian clocks regulate many of your body’s systems. This new research confirms that they’re also critical for your immune system.
The researchers say this could lead to the development of drugs that target the circadian clocks in your neutrophils. But I have a better idea:
Set your circadian clock Nature’s way—by getting outside in the sun.
Exposing your eyes to the sunrise is, hands down, the best way to help regulate your circadian clocks.
I step out to watch the sunrise every morning. Won’t you join me?
P.S. Discover the REAL reason you can’t sleep. (It’s not what you think.)
