Today, I’m going to talk to you about something kinda gross. But it's something we all have.
Yes, I’m talking about bacteria. The thing is, bacteria is all over us but it only harms us sometimes.
We actually have more bacterial cells than we do human cells, which makes me wonder...
Are we bacteria? Maybe I should call you ‘microbe’ instead of calling you by your name.
Just kidding. That would get confusing real fast since I, too, am a microbe. Let’s go back to the bacteria talk for a second.
One way these bacteria can harm us is through infections. Infections come in many forms, but one of the most common is Streptococcus Pneumonia.
This tiny bacteria works its way into your lungs and then multiples, which can cause the common disease known as pneumonia.
Pneumonia can be life-threatening depending on the person, and it costs thousands of people their lives each year.
Those who have weak immune systems are the most vulnerable to this bacteria. These include older men and women, anyone battling a disease or those who are malnourished, or young children.
Luckily, your body has many enlisted soldiers ready to fight bacteria off. One organ that plays a key role in this is your spleen.
The spleen is the largest organ in the lymphatic system, and its primary function is to keep your blood healthy.
When healthy blood enters your spleen, the organ gives it the go-ahead to circulate throughout your body.
If it notices blood cells that are suspect, whether they are damaged or unhealthy, it hires a slew of hitmen known as lymphocytes. These are your body's white blood cells and their job is to destroy any harmful blood.
Your spleen also serves as your primary blood store. It can actually hold up to a cup of blood in reserve if you’re ever in an accident (God forbid) and you lose a lot of blood.
Getting back to the topic of Pneumonia, your spleen also responds to bacteria and viruses in the same way it responds to unhealthy blood cells. Meaning it hires the white cells to whack them as well. This includes bacteria like Streptococcus Pneumonia.
If you want to avoid being sick, retain muscle and joint health as you age, you must take good care of your spleen.
How you can hurt your spleen?
Consume too much alcohol or drugs
Physical trauma to the spleen (such as a sports injury)
Eat a diet rich in gluten, soy, dairy, shellfish, and any chemically processed foods
Have blood disease caused by abnormal blood cells
Breathing air filled with pollutants
If you engage in these activities too much, your spleen can become enlarged from fighting off too many harmful substances.
Symptoms of an enlarged spleen include...
Feeling discomfort, pain on the upper left side of the abdomen, especially after eating a large meal
Easy bleeding
Weight loss
Changes in appetite
Frequent infections
Anemia
Yellowing of the skin
How to keep your spleen in fighting condition?
Eat clean meats like wild salmon that are filled with omega 3 fatty acids
Consume plenty of nuts and seeds including chia, flax, and pumpkin
Increase green leafy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and kale in your diet
Exercise 3 times per week to keep the blood and fluids moving
Regular massages or sitting in a sauna can also help detoxify your body
