How to Boost Your Immune System

You can protect yourself by supporting your immune system. This will help you to avoid contracting it or at worst diminish the effects if you happen to become infected.

Here are some important things you should do now:

1. Eat immune boosting foods. Choose foods that help strengthen your immune system.
