Boost Your Immune System

Healthy bodies have an easier time fighting off infection.  

 

To stay healthy and boost your immune system:

 

Get plenty of rest

Eat a well balanced diet

Decrease stress

Cut back on unhealthy habits, such as smoking and over consuming alcohol.

Exercise regularly.  

 

Studies have shown that a 30 minute session of moderate exercise produces positive effects on the immune system.  Over time, this means catching less upper respiratory infections and colds.
