Let’s face it; no one has time for a cold. In addition to making you feel miserable, colds destroy your schedule. Work, family, errands—they all have to wait while you get better. Or even worse, you have to carry on despite your achy muscles, headache, sore throat and more.

“The immune system.” Is there a more boring phrase in health? But when the immune system fights something, that’s when things get interesting. How about fighting excess fat? That would be pretty exciting, wouldn’t it?
