The immune system is the body’s line of defense. An effective and efficient immune system is key to maintaining overall health and wellness. The immune system is made up of many parts and can be weakened by disease, environment or lifestyle. Supporting the immune system is the best way to prevent disease. Taking care of the body and mind through exercise, sleep, stress management and diet is helpful, as is supplementing the immune system with products designed to strengthen the body’s natural defenses. The stronger these defenses are, the less likely we are to be vulnerable to, among other things, bacteria and viruses.
