Having a clean slate of health from week to week is an important part of being able to live an independent and active lifestyle. Your immune system plays a major role in helping making this happen. It protects you from everyday health hazards (which we usually don't notice) like the common cold and other sicknesses which could easily sideline you for weeks on end.
Making sure you take small yet necessary steps to help support your immune system is key to maintaining an active life and gives you the freedom to participate in the activities your enjoy.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
1). What inspired us to dedicate an episode to the importance of your immune system and why most people take it for granted.
2). Some of the common misconceptions on how people think they should be taking care of their immune system and what it actually does.
3). How regular exercise greatly decreases your chances of getting sick over someone who does not exercise regularly.
4). Why managing stress is important and how not doing so can contribute to a weakened immune system which will lead to poorer health overall.
5). How staying hydrated helps boost your immune system.

We hope the tips we've shared in the episode are helpful to you especially if you have been finding yourself "under the weather" more often than not. Your immune system should be looked at as just as important as the rest of your body even though we don't actually "see" it. Taking time to practice even a few of these tips will help keep you active long into your later years.
