- 3 Step Plan To support Your Immune System
Catching colds and the flu are inevitable but there are some simple solutions to help your body project itself and fight back against unwanted germs.
Diet, exercise, healthy lifestyle habits and natural therapies can all help support your immune system to allow it to do its best work.
Follow our immune boosting tips and enjoy better health and general wellbeingYour immune system is your body’s natural defence mechanism against disease and germs - recognising the cells that make up your body and attacking unfamiliar substances like bacteria and viruses.
Your body is exposed to millions of germs on a daily basis, and it’s your immune system’s job to fight them and stop you from getting sick.
When the germs do make it past the body’s defences and you get sick, your immune system jumps in and works to get rid of it. It also remembers how to fight the infection if the same germ comes again.
