Healthy Ways to Strengthen Your Immune System
The coronavirus COVID-19 threat has put the world into a tailspin.
One thing you can do now for you and your family is to strengthen your immune systems. As with any illness, in the event you come in contact with this virus you will be much better able to fight it off without too much trouble.
Here is an excerpt from an older article from Harvard University.

- Don’t smoke.
- Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables.
- Exercise regularly.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.
- Get adequate sleep.
