Boosting Your Immunity

These days, we hear a lot about the importance of having a strong and balanced immune system. Research shows that healthy lifestyle habits such as regular exercise, solid sleep, and an anti-inflammatory, nutrient-packed diet all lend a hand to protect us from illness. In this segment, Rita talks about important habits to keep your immune system humming along. She also prepares a delicious chicken soup, packed with protein, vegetables, fiber, and phytonutrients. It turns out that chicken soup really can be a little pharmacy in a bowl!
