How to Get Rid of a Sinus Infection – The Secret to Preventing Colds and Infections
Why Do We Get Sick?
For centuries, the Germ Theory, introduced by Louis Pasteur, suggested that germs invade our bodies and make us sick. This would mean that every time we’re exposed to a germ, we should fall ill.
But that’s not always the case!
Have you ever been surrounded by sick coworkers or family members yet stayed healthy? I know I have—many times. In fact, I’ve lost count of how long it’s been since my last cold.
This brings us to Antoine Béchamp’s Terrain Theory.
“The primary cause of disease is in us, always in us.” – Antoine Béchamp
The Terrain Theory suggests that illness isn’t just about exposure to germs. Instead, it’s about the internal environment—what we eat, how we move, our stress levels, and even toxins in our surroundings.
How to Strengthen Your Immune System
1. Move Your Body More
During winter, people often move less, stay indoors more, and socialize less. This weakens immunity. Daily activity helps keep your body strong.
2. Boost Vitamin D Levels
As sunshine exposure decreases, so do vitamin D levels, which are essential for immune health. If you haven’t topped up in summer, you could be at risk.
3. Support Gut Health
Did you know 80% of your immune system is in your gut? If you suffer from IBS, reflux, or bloating, your body may struggle to fight infections.
4. Manage Stress and Anxiety
Chronic stress weakens immunity. If your nervous system is always on high alert, your body can’t function at its best.
5. Improve Your Nutrition
A poor diet filled with processed foods and sugar can weaken your defenses. Whole, nutrient-dense foods give your body the tools it needs to fight off infections.
Time to Strengthen Your Terrain?
If you’re constantly dealing with sinus infections, sore throats, chesty coughs, or endless rounds of antibiotics, it’s time to focus on building your internal defense system.
