How do you boost your immune system? Yes I know... you may be thinking " what does this have to doe with real estate?" Well everything! Health is wealth right? Nothing can exist without health. It is essential that we prioritize health and wellness to ensure an improved overall quality of life. Creating a lifestyle with a focus on eating to leave as opposed to living to eat makes a huge difference as well. Also prioritizing time to reconnect with yourself is important.

David L. Woodland, an immunologist at the Trudeau Institute, a nonprofit research center in Saranac Lake, N.Y. says the biggest drain on our immune systems in the modern age is stress. Taking the pressure off the immune system helps it build up, he says. Adequate sleep recharges your immune system, and most people donât get enough nowadays.
While people tend to get fewer colds as they get older, since their immune systems have developed defenses against many strains of cold virus, âthe immune system decline outweighs the benefits youâve been accruing,â says Woodland.
Good nutrition is a must for kids year-round, says Frogel, and that kids, like adults, need plenty of sleep and regular exercise.
Good nutrition does not mean more foodâquite the contrary. Losing weight can help build immunity, according to a study by Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. When a group of adults with high cholesterol lost weight on a low-fat diet, most also showed evidence of improved immune function.
Carrie Angus M.D. recommends whole, fresh foods. âFresh foods not only carry a diverse mixture of vitamins and trace minerals absent from most processed foods, they also have vitality.â
