L-Glutamine and Immune Health

“L-Glutamine Plays a Key Role in Immune Function and mRNA gene expression replication for protection against infection. ”

L-Glutamine is the most abundant and versatile amino acid in the body. It can be found throughout the body, primarily in the brain, gastrointestinal tract, muscles and liver cells. Studies have determined that glutamine is an essential nutrient for white blood cell proliferation, cytokine production, sterilization of foreign substances such as bacteria, and plays a central role in defending the immune system from infection.

The role L-Glutamine plays in proliferation of immune system cells, occurs through activation of proteins that support transcription (memory) of RNA & DNA which leads to cell replication of related genes. For instance, appropriate L-Glutamine concentration leads to the expression of key white blood cells (lymphocytes) and the production of cytokines that activate the immune system.

Thus, L-Glutamine acts as an energy conduit for white blood cells and plays an essential role in cell replication, tissue repair and regeneration, immune response, and gene expression associated with foreign pathogen recognition and neutralization.

Keeping a delicate balance in the immune system by eliminating invading pathogens is critical for the body’s health. The gut microbia that resides in the gastrointestinal tract provides essential health benefits to its host, particularly by regulating immune homeostasis.

L-Glutamine greatly benefits homeostasis by boosting cell activity in the gut, helping prevent infection and inflammation, as well as soothing the intestinal lining through mucosal tissue repair.

A study published in the journal of Clinical Immunology found that L-Glutamine normalizes the effects of the TH2 immune response that would otherwise stimulate an inflammatory cytokine storm.

In addition to helping repair and replicate white blood cells for immune response it can also help heal leaky gut and reduce systemic inflammation. L-Glutamine can not only help you address digestive issues, cognitive function, muscle growth and metabolism but provides unparalleled immune function when fighting off a virus of this nature. Supplementation with L-Glutamine has been shown to greatly increased plasma production and shorten recovery time after injury or infection.

1 Inch at a time

If you could lose 1 inch or 1lb just by changing one habit, what would that habit be? Could you make a positive impact on your own well being by simply;

Drinking more water?
Having a cup of green tea in place of a coffee?
Working out for 5 extra minutes a day?
Lifting 5lbs heavier at the gym?
Limiting salt intake?
Taking your vitamins and minerals consistently
Eating more vegetables?
Eating more protein?
Taking the stairs everyday?
Cut out night snacking?

What if I told you that you could loose 10lbs by making these 10 changes every week for the next 10 weeks? How soon would you start on this list?

Create a Healthy Work Life Balance

  

 What I am asking you to do TODAY is to put some importance on your own goals and aspirations!

    Gone should be the days where you come home from working for (The Boss) and are too tired to do anything for your own benefit; Too tired to cook, too tired to exercise, heck too tired to read a good book.. Gone should be the days when you feel Rushed* I want you to start looking forward to the hours outside of work. Look forward to the extra hours you can really LIVE the life you are working so hard to provide for.

    To be fair, when you are at work; give it your all, do what you are good at and make it count. Bank that money you work so hard for, sure, but also remember that creating a healthy balance between work life and personal life is just as important. Put importance on spending time alone, with loved ones and on spending time doing what you really love. Yes, whether that is number crunching or muscle crunching then do it for YOU. Build the quality of YOUR life up when your not too busy doing it for someone else!
