Boosting your Immune System
Your immune system is your first line of defense against infection and diseases. It is made up of cells that help fight infection and help the body to heal. A strong immune system is vital for good health and there are many steps individuals can take to help strengthen and support their immune systems naturally:

• Reduce stress by meditating, exercising, and practicing mindfulness
• Make sure you are getting enough sleep
• Eat a colourful, well-balanced diet
• Consuming vitamins essential for a healthy immune system: vitamin A, C, D, E and Zinc
• Herbals such as Echinacea help support immune function
