What Are Beta Glucans? Beta-1,3D Glucan

BETA FACTOR -by Basic Reset

Overview

Beta Factor is a powerful immune booster. Do you get sick often and wonder why? Chances are you may have a weak immune system. Many people battling disease have a compromised immune system. It's like soldiers going to battle, but not all of them are fighting. Beta Factor will activate and boost your body's own immune system. It signals all of your "immune system soldiers" to take up the fight. It also "flags" the bugs being fought, so they can no longer disguise themselves and avoid being attacked. Tests show Beta Factor boosts the immune system better than any other product. Beta Factor contains beta glucans from an extract of baker's yeast and is therefore a food.

The immune system is the most important system of the body when it comes to preventing diseases. It defends the body from developing potentially harmful diseases and illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. The immune system also restricts tumors and cancerous growths inside the body.

We are all born with different levels of immune systems. Some have a stronger immune system than others, but there are many things that can weaken even a strong immune system. Our immune responses can be weakened by various external influences, and many people have suffered as a result of one or more of these outside influences. Among these influences are stress, highly processed foods, dehydration, excess alcohol, smoking, inadequate sleep, lack of exercise, antibiotics and other medications, lack of hygiene, toxins, and obesity.

The immune system is typically divided into 3 categories - inflammation, innate (non-specific) and acquired (specific).

• First line of defense - INFLAMMATORY response is the way to establish a physical barrier for the cell against the spread of infection and to promote healing to any damaged tissue once the pathogens have been removed.
• Second line of defense - INNATE immunity is the subsystem of our immune system that comprises the cells and defense mechanisms that defend our bodies from harmful invaders.
• Third line of defense - ACQUIRED immunity happens only after your body has adapted to a specific threat and acquired antibodies against it. It means your body remembers a previous attacker and is ready for any future attacks.

Acquired immunity is the basis for vaccines which expose your body to something it has not seen before. This type of immunology completely bypasses our innate immune system. The better battle plan is to build up our innate immune system through natural means. Innate immunity combats 99% of our body's invaders, whereas acquired immunity accounts for only 1% of the infectious intruders. Therefore, it is only logical that we should focus our efforts on building up our innate immunity.

There are natural substances known as beta (1,3/1,6) glucans that keep your innate immunity in battle-ready condition. Beta Factor contains refined beta (1,3/1,6) glucans from simple baker's yeast, which has a long history of health benefits for promoting a healthy immune system. These glucans are not actually yeast. Yeast is merely their source, and in fact, the glucans are antifungal in the body.

Optimal health is the result of a strong immune system. It doesn't matter so much what you are exposed to in the way of disease causing germs. What matters most is how your body handles them. You just can't beat a strong defensive immune system that can handle even the toughest invaders with ease. This is the purpose of Beta Factor. It strengthens your body's defenses to keep you in optimal health.

Beta Factor is antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-radiation and MORE!

Beta Factor assist the body's immune cells, causing them to be more active, morepowerful, and more effective in attacking and consuming what doesn't belong in our system. Taking Beta Factor as a daily supplement can help you be healthier, live longer, and deal with stress. If you have benign or malignant tumors, it is a powerful adjuvant to help your body stay strong when taking chemotherapy and/or radiation. It is a powerful dietary supplement which helps the body even under extreme stressful conditions and situations. It is an effective way to help maintain healthy cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels. It is great for your skin, giving you dramatic results, and should be a part of any anti-aging skincare routine. Beta Factor can also help protect you from the negative effects of ionizing radiation.

Kids fruit veg consumption inadequate, new study,

By Lorraine Heller
1/29/2007- Less than one in ten US children are eating the recommended levels of fruit and vegetables per day, according to a new study.

Published in next month's issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the latest information adds to the growing body of evidence indicating that most adolescents fail to meet the nation's dietary guidelines.

According to the study, which analyzed the behavior of almost 900 children aged 11 to 15, only 12 percent of participants consumed the recommended five or more daily servings of fruit and vegetables. This is 10 percentage points lower than what has been reported nationally, said the researchers.

In addition, only 32 percent of children were found to meet the recommendations for saturated fat intake of less than 10 percent of total energy.

Family dietary practices were found to be associated with adolescents' food choices, with parents' consumption of fat, fruit and vegetables being identified as a predictor of adolescent consumption habits.

The report also looked at children's levels of physical activity, and their television viewing time, both additional factors generally associated with obesity risk. According to the study's findings, nearly 80 percent of participants revealed 'multiple physical activity and dietary risk behaviors'.

The report concluded that further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of different programs and strategies designed to promote 'multiple behavior change' in adolescence.

According to a report issued in September by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), one third of American children are either obese or at risk for obesity. And the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveal that in the past quarter century, the proportion of overweight children aged 6-11 has doubled, while the number of overweight adolescents has tripled.

The dramatic rise in obesity has prompted widespread changes throughout the food industry, schools and communities in an effort to prevent the spreading epidemic.

Indeed, the IOM's report examined the nation's progress in preventing childhood obesity, providing further recommendations for government, industry, media, communities, schools, and families to collectively respond to the growing obesity epidemic in children and youth.
