Dr. Ramirez discusses 5 ways to optimize your immune system

Plant are the ideal foods for humans. They provide the compounds needed to run an optimal immune system. Two examples of foods showing great promise in recent research are mushrooms and chlorella.

3. Hydrate
Proper hydration helps our mucus membranes to defend against pathogens.
4. Hygiene
Keep your hands and face clean to minimize exposure to pathogens.
5. Acupuncture
Acupuncture improves circulation and combats the effects of chronic stress on our bodies, so that our immune system can function optimally.
