Live Long and Healthy

The immune system is not just one specific organ in the body. It is made up of a complicated network of different organs, cells and chemical secretions that all work in tandem to protect the body against foreign invaders and diseases.

Imagine the immune system to be like a military institution where the air force, the navy, and the army have to work together to protect the country from invaders. If one part of the immune system fails or weakens, the immune system will be compromised.

When the immune system is weak, the human body is susceptible to many illnesses. If the immune system makes a wrong judgment or is confused, the body may develop allergies, such as skin allergies, or autoimmune diseases.

Some diseases are linked to a malfunctioning immune system.

UNIQUE QUALITIES

There is currently still no medication or substance that can replace the immune system, according to E. Excel International founder Dr. Jau-Fei Chen, who is also an immunologist.

“The immune system relies on nutrition for nourishment and must be properly nourished so that it can function optimally. Each vegetable and fruit has its own unique qualities — a wide variety of different phytochemicals, antioxidants, and polysaccharides,” she says.

Until today, scientists are still discovering and researching on this. Because each vegetable and fruit has its own unique properties and qualities, just eating a single, particular vegetable or fruit is not enough. To take full advantage of the benefits they offer, eat a wide variety of vegetables and fruits, and eat more of them.

EAT PLANT FOODS

Scientists have found that eating a wide assortment of wholesome plant foods, of all colours and types, provides the immune system with the best nourishment.

Fortunately, these foods are easily attainable and affordable at the supermarket — a treasure trove of nutrients from nature.

Nutritional immunology is a science that explores the link between nutrition and the immune system.

This science researches nutrients, such as phytochemicals, antioxidants, and polysaccharides, in plant foods and how they benefit the immune system.

Because we believe that everyone has the potential to live a long and healthy life, through our research findings, we believe that the immune system should be nourished with wholesome plant foods to help the immune system function well.

Prevention is better than cure

Take care of your body and your body will take care of you. Enhance your lifestyle with nutritious, healthy and wholesome plant foods to help your immune system perform at its best.
