Not a fan of flu shots. I’m of fan of boosting your immunity naturally and boosting Vitamin D levels.

Please give us more tips on boosting immunity. Any special supplements?
Of course exercise and healthy diet.

Healthy diet and exercise are paramount importance, and as Dr. Amen mentioned, vitamin D (which many of us are low in) also boosts immunity. Other areas that benefit our immune function are gut health (eat probiotic foods or take a supplement), having emotional support (physical affection boosts immunity too–so make sure you get plenty of hugs!), getting fresh air and being outside, and maintaining a positive and grateful outlook all support our immune function.

Supplements to consider are a good quality multivitamin, vitamin D, probiotics, zinc, vitamin C, omega-3, and a phytonutrient blend. Fresh ginger tea, and cooking with garlic also help immune function, and are really delicious too! Be well!

Totally agree! Flu shot is a money grab for the pharmaceutical industry that has a very low rate of  questionable success.They guess each year what the strain will be..add in mercury for disaster!
