Growing older in years doesn’t have to mean the deterioration of your health and wellness. When you give your body everything it needs to maintain optimum health and strong immunity, you can absolutely enjoy a quality of life that allows you to thrive, and continue getting the most out of your body.

There are certain foods and lifestyle choices that you need to engage with in order to maintain a healthy body and strong immune system. Imagine if for the majority of 40+ years, you had been failing to meet these needs. Your immune system would be compromised, and you would be more susceptible to infection. That’s why, as an empty nester, it's perhaps more important than ever to get focused on your health, so you can preserve and optimise your body for the long term.

If you think of your blood as the water in a fish tank, it needs to be kept clean and pure in order to enjoy optimum health and longevity. You ensure this by making smart nutrition and lifestyle choices – eating an abundance of nutritionally dense, natural immune boosting foods like green vegetables, and managing your stress in healthy ways. When the water in a fish tank gets cloudy and murky, as a result of poor dietary choices in our analogy, the immune system is compromised, resulting in an increased susceptibility to illness and dis-ease.
