Immune Health Issue Winter 2012
With the winter weather we can tend to get cooped up in our homes, hibernating and wishing for warmer weather. Instead we should be getting out and enjoying winter activities, stimulating our immune system, and taking advantage of the health benefits of breathing in the cold, fresh air. At this time of year we are exposed to many different viruses and bacteria from many different sources. We are exposed at work, the grocery store, door knobs, our children....the list is endless.
