An important note about viruses: there are millions of viruses in existence, and hundreds that can infect humans. Good ones can live quietly in your body to benefit your cells while bad ones can cause illness, from mild upper-respiratory tract illnesses to lung disease; in fact, more than 200 viruses can cause what we call the common cold, which is not just uncomfortable but linked to decreased school and work attendance, concentration, alertness and reaction time. Viruses continue to evolve and will not disappear, so the trick is to make your body as healthy as possible to prevent or minimize infection. Over the years, I have heard from dozens of clients, readers, students and loved ones with questions about supplements and tricks to boost their immune system. Thus, this book is an accumulation of all the tips that have worked for them. Start eating better today with motivation tips and tools. Stay healthy, stay strong, stay safe.
