Immune Balance: Harvard gets it.
I was doing some immune health snooping for another project when I came upon this Harvard Medical School online
pub about the immune system. The title, “How to Boost Your Immune System,” is a bit misleading. Boosting may not be the right term. Early on in the piece, the authors write:
“The idea of boosting your immunity is enticing, but the ability to do so has proved elusive for several reasons. The immune system is precisely that — a system, not a single entity. To function well, it requires balance and harmony.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.
The article goes on to discuss many factors impacting immune health: diet, exercise, stress. It’s almost a microcosm of everything that’s been posted on this blog for the past year and a half.
Way to go, Harvard. You get a gold..no, crimson…star.
