As of 12 April 2021, South Africa has reported just over 1,56 million positive cases, with 1,48 million recoveries and sadly over 53,000 deaths. Just as we thought the vaccine rollout would bring our country to a new normal, “experts are warning a third, even deadlier wave could be approaching” (HealthENews, 2021).
Over the past 13 months, South Africa has been through two devastating and deadly waves of COVID-19, with a third approaching as the rollout of vaccines is slower than expected. Dr. Waasila Jassat, a public health specialist at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, reports that “The lessons ahead of the third wave is that it is likely to come, it is likely to be bigger than the first two waves if the evidence from other countries is anything to go by.”
Besides the national guidelines of keeping a safe social distance, the correct wearing and usage of face masks, and frequent hand sanitising, the question on everyone’s minds is how we can boost our immunity for the upcoming and fast-approaching third wave?
The relationship between your liver and immunity
We all know that diet is essential in boosting one’s immune system naturally. Still, it is often difficult to avoid food additives, alcohol, refined oils, dairy, gluten, eggs, hormones in food, caffeine, and refined sugar. These foods weaken the immune system by impairing the production and activity of immune cells and antibodies, making us more susceptible to viruses, bacteria, and diseases in general.
According to the Cleveland Clinic in 2018, the liver’s primary function within the digestive system is to process nutrients absorbed from the small intestines.
However, due to the increased toxicity of our diets and natural environments, including the air we breathe and the water we drink, our livers are filtering excessive amounts of toxins, thus putting strain on this organ.
This ultimately leads to a toxic burden. This means that our bodies become ineffective at digestion and fat breakdown, causing weight gain and a general feeling of being tired, sluggish, and bloated. Diseases such as toxic liver, fatty liver disease, and even liver cancer can develop, too. And without your liver functioning at full capacity, well, you can see how this directly affects your overall health and immunity.
The common indicators of needing a liver cleanse include:
- Feeling stressed
- Constantly waking up between 2 am and 4 am (not related to noise or light)
- Diarrhoea, constipation, or strong-odour bowel movements
- Dark coloured Urine
- Frequent Headaches and migraines
- Acne, greasy, oily, or dull skin
- Brain fog or being forgetful
But these are not the only symptoms that could occur. An unhealthy liver can even lead to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, mental illness, thyroid-related problems, high cholesterol, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, multiple sclerosis, and autoimmune disorders, and naturally, an overall suppressed immune system due to chronic infection, low T cells, and reduced NK cells.
And so, it is recommended that you cleanse your liver regularly so that it can function optimally. In some cases, it can even take up to 3 years to cleanse your liver!
Recommending NAD+ Complex to support the liver detox
Liver detox has become a popular and controversial topic, as there are a vast number of detoxification protocols, diets, supplements, and products. Still, the truth remains that a healthy liver delivers a healthy body.
Your liver detoxes itself naturally, but even the healthiest of us are still surrounded by toxins in our natural environments and homes, so we often need some additional support. This is where I am excited to introduce the NAD+ complex.
Bear with me while I glorify this product. NAD+ Complex is a cell energy-boosting supplement with DNA protection! This supplement contains 19 active ingredients, which support your immune system. The magic of this supplement is that it is also the 1st nutraceutical that is anti-ageing. NAD+ Complex is a uniquely South African product developed by the Centre for Human Metabolomics & Biochemistry Division at North West University and is certified by the MCC of South Africa.
The supplement consists of 3 complexes that promote overall healing and health from the inside out, as it restores DNA damage.
Anti-Oxidant – this supports the oxidation process by actively targeting free radicals and providing extra support against inflammation.
NADplus+ Complex is a coenzyme that works within the mitochondria to enhance metabolism, generate more energy, and protect DNA.
Detox Complex – this fully supports liver detoxification phases 1 and 2 by removing environmental toxins from the gut, and assists the liver’s regeneration and detoxification process by blocking inflammation caused by free radicals and toxins within the body and skin cells.
With healthy levels of NAD+, your cells will stay strong and resilient. We highly recommend using this product to prepare for the 3rd COVID-19 wave, ensuring more longevity and a healthier long-term lifestyle.
NAD+ complex is stocked at The Renewal Clinic. Call us today and take the first step in protecting yourself from the inside out.
