So what is an antioxidant? And why is it important for immune balance?

Antioxidant-loaded blueberries

We hear so much about antioxidants these days.  They are important for the body in so many ways. Antioxidants, found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and quality vitamin and mineral supplements, may reduce cancer risk (although the science is still not settled or conclusive yet), may reduce risk for cardiovascular disease.

Back to basics: Nice overview of natural ingredients and immune balance

For most people, I think, the notion of immune system performance falls into three “buckets” of thought:

Immune-related problems like cold or flu are something you can’t avoid. You just have to give it time to get over a cold or flu. A week to 10 days. Maybe take some over-the-counter remedy to help [...]

Does gray hair signal a problem with immune health?

Thank God I’m not going gray–or getting old. But all my friends are. Actually I do have the gray creeping in.  But my lighter colored hair keeps it hidden a little better. But if I try growing a little facial hair, that  comes in silver!  So no goatee for me.  I just went to a [...]

Reality check on food and supplements

We will always need nutritional supplements.  Lots of them. Yes, food purists, that’s the reality. At least it’s my take on reality. And I’ve been a pretty good reality predictor.

We’re bombarded with promotions everyday about some new world-beating health product. Problem is, [...]

The winter crud and my immune response: Here we go again.

Well, my annual sojourn into the valley of the winter crud started yesterday. And, if all goes as it has in the past couple of years, it should  pretty well be over by tonight.  As I’ve written in the past, my winter crud experience has changed significantly since I began a daily EpiCor regimen.

China, plant-based diet and immune health

Wow. Just as I was enjoying my take-out cashew chicken for lunch while perusing some health stories on the Web, I came across an interview in today’s NewYork Times focusing on all the long-term health benefits of a plant-based (ala fruits and vegetables) diet. The Times’ health blogger, Tara Parker-Pope, interviews Dr. T. Collin Campbell, [...]

Our email readers give us their immune health 2 cents worth

In the right hand column of this blog you’ll see a convenient sign-up window for receiving a brief monthly email newsletter. It’s called Life in the Balance, sponsored by EpiCor-maker Embria Health Sciences.

We sent a short survey form to the email subscribers last month, asking them to answer 8 questions. We also offered the [...]
