The immune system is a complex network of cells and organs that work together defending the body against invading microbes, parasites or bacteria which may lead to cell damage, infection or disease. A strong immune system is one of the most important factors in maintaining good health and living a vibrant and active lifestyle. The strength of the immune barrier is influenced by lifestyle habits and environmental surroundings.  Some of these lifestyle conditions may deplete the body’s immune reserves, such as, stress, air purity, processed foods and/or lack of exercise. A healthy immune system provides multiple response layers against aggressive environmental factors. Consult with a health care professional or practitioner on ways to replenish nutrients which may be essential to a healthy immune function to strengthen one’s immunity.*

Eating a healthy diet, ensuring adequate rest, relaxation, moderate recreation and having social ties are generally associated with longevity and increased vitality.*
