More dirt on immune balance

Thought I’d post a brief roundup of some worthwhile immune health stories and updates I’ve come across recently:

The Nashville Tennessean has a great column published this past week on immune system balance and the “dirt” exposure school of thought on immune system development. Good perspective and anecdotes.

The Omaha World-Herald ran a story last Thursday on [...]

The immune balance “cloud”

I attended two presentations in the past two days on “cloud computing.” I was slightly out of place;  a nutrition and health communicator wedged into a swarm of IT geeks and computer engineering professors and researchers. But I wanted to learn because my blogging, my health social network building and other communications applications are all [...]

Hear this: You can’t get H1N1 from pigskin. But high-intensity workouts may be another story.

My seasonal college football fanaticism is under way. And one of the first news makers of the young season this past week was the University of Wisconsin football team having to cope with 40 players being hit with H1N1. Wow. They barely got by Fresno State. I’m sure we will hear something wacky pretty [...]

Mind over madder

I had coffee today with an experienced IT/communication  professional who’s a longtime friend. He’s been in a job search for several months and is, understandably, frustrated.  I know he’ll get a quality opportunity at some point soon, but it is frustrating having to endure the time it takes for that opportunity to arrive. I’ve been there, and [...]

Some good perspective on immune health and kids

The video below gives some good, common-sense advice on “germ-proofing” your kids. And even more amazing, it’s produced and narrated by microbiology scientists and it’s still interesting and engaging.  It’s part of a pretty sizable collection of video instruction at the site called Microbe World, operated by the American Society for Microbiology. 
I like its basic approach: [...]

Walk the walk for immune balance

I’m a believer in exercise, as is anyone who has a basic interest in and half a brain about health and wellness. Thing is, I have to bypass most of the fitness regimens everyone else seems to enjoy. I don’t like refraining from running, but I have to because it’s soooooooo booorrrrrrrrring and I can’t [...]

My spring break: an immune balance “three-fer”

Last week was spring break, so I stuck around home and took advantage of some gorgeous early spring weather. I’m no spring chicken, I’m certainly not a paragon of elite physical conditioning, but I cast fear to the wind and took on some physical activities throughout the week that put my joints and muscles to [...]

Losing weight and your immune system: Easy does it

(Editor’s Note: Dieting happens. Especially after the holidays. While taking off excess weight is a good thing, doing it the right way…or the wrong way…can have a lasting impact on immune health.
