  • Getting enough sleep is essential for the body to heal and effectively fight off infections, especially during cold and flu season.
  • The food we eat impacts both our immune system's strength and our mood. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables supports better immune function.
  • Indulging in unhealthy food, such as fair foods, can negatively affect how we feel and our ability to fight illness.
  • Taking a multivitamin can contribute to supporting the immune system when combined with a healthy diet.
  • Regular exercise helps strengthen the immune system, muscles, and mind by exposing the body to light, manageable stress.
