If you’re trying to live a healthier life, you don’t need to make drastic, sweeping changes to see results. All you have to do is go to your pantry and grab a handful of nuts. If you don’t have any nuts, that’s okay. I’m sure you’ll want to run to the store and get some after hearing this…

You may think a flu shot will get you through the season unscathed. Don’t bet on it. While there’s no way to completely protect yourself from the viruses that cause colds and flu, you can take all-natural measures to strengthen your immune system…

Even if you don’t eat an apple a day to keep the healthcare practitioner away, researchers have something else that can boost your health: a daily, desirable beverage that helps your immune system beat off the colds, flu and other illnesses that go from house to house each year.

You’ve probably heard the old saying “Feed a cold, starve a fever.” But is there any truth to it? A recent study suggests it’s probably not as accurate as your mom led you to believe. In fact, there may be a new adage to guide you next time you’re feeling under the weather…
