AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a disease in which your immune system becomes compromised and finds it difficult to shield your body from infections.
Most AIDS scientists tend to think that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes AIDS.
A person who is infected by the human immunodeficiency virus is referred to as being “HIV positive”.
Unfortunately at present time, there is no known cure for AIDS.
But there is some hope… modern medicine has created HIV drugs which can slow down the progression of HIV.
Also, it is known that dietary changes and nutritional supplements can also help with HIV and AIDS symptoms.
Warning: HIV and AIDS are complex disorders, before taking any supplements or changing your diet, please consult your doctor.
The symptoms of HIV are similar to other diseases and can be mistaken for other health conditions.

AIDS symptoms are related to immune-deficiency and can be varied, affecting many different parts of your body.
HIV and AIDS sufferers tend to suffer from weight lost and diarrhea.
To help to counteract nutritional deficiencies, it is best to keep to a whole food diet and reframe from consuming processed and refined foods.
Studies have shown that HIV positive people can lower their instance of diarrhea and increase their weight by keeping to a gluten free diet.
AIDS/HIV sufferers can benefit from doing exercise, participating in any type of exercise three to four times a week will help to slow down the progression of AIDS.
Resistance training can be beneficial, doing it three times per week can help to increase lean body mass.
Taking supplements can help with the symptoms associated with HIV and AIDS.
Studies have shown that the start of AIDS can be slowed in HIV-positive men, simply by taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement.
Selenium, an antioxidant, is good supplement to take.
Research has shown that selenium can increase appetite, reduce infections and improve heart function.
Studies have shown that the amino acid N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), can help to slow the decline in immune function which is associated with HIV.
There are many herbs which can be beneficial for AIDS and HIV sufferers.
In particular, the herb is boxwood.
Double-blind trials have shown that boxwood can delay the progression of HIV infection.
