In Your Best Immunity, Dr John Tickell explores the importance of making intentional health decisions right now that will be beneficial for you in the long run, and balancing your immune system is one of the best defences you have against viral infections, cancer, heart diseases and dementia.

With our immune system gradually degrading over time, it's important to act now. 

Here's a snippet of Dr John Tickell's handy Immune System Rating as a guide to help you determine where you currently are with your health and the steps you can make to help improve it.

Activity 

We are awake for 238 half hours every week. If you're not continuously moving for 6 of those 238 hours, then you are losing the Game Of Life.

• Moving for 6 half hours last week and every week during the last month  =  30 points 
• Moving for 4 half hours last week and and every week during the last month  =  20 points
• Moving for 2 half hours last week and and every week during the last month  =  10 points
• Moving for 0 half hours last week and last month  =  0 points 

Coping 

Breathing helps us 'cope' with the stresses of life. 

• 'Relaxation things' twice a day =  20 points 
• 'Relaxation things' once a day  =  10 points 
• Slow and deep diaphragm breaths (3 in a row, every 2 hours) = 10 points 
• Slow and deep diaphragm breaths (3 in a row twice a day) = 5 points
• No relaxation breathing = 0 points  

Eating 

Basic food is plant food. Bonus food is not plant food. 

• Your balance of Basic / Bonus food is 100% more than 50/50= 20 points
• Your balance of Basic / Bonus food is APPROXIMATELY 50/50 =  15 points
• Your balance of Basic / Bonus food is LESS THAN 50/50 = 5 points
• You do not eat a balanced diet = 0 points
