Your immune system is your defense against the antigens in the world -- viruses, toxins, free radicals, parasites, fungus, and billions of bacteria. When working optimally, the body is a protective system that can fend off many of the invaders. It's a perfect time of year to improve the health status of your immune system as flu season approaches. Select either the morning or evening session.
