You don’t need me to remind you that it’s cold and flu season. You’re likely already being bombarded by commercials and targeted ads on social media reminding you how important it is to make sure your immune system is in peak shape. I’ve already gotten my flu shot and Covid booster for the season, but I like to do what I can to make sure that any downtime due to preventable illness is at or near zero during the holidays. That means taking immune boosters like Forest Leaf’s Advanced Sambucus Elderberry (fortified with zinc and vitamin C). It’s a product that you can feel good about taking.

I’m not prone to making formal New Years’ Resolutions, but one thing I learned while hunkered down at home was how to develop healthier eating habits and stick with them. No one loves to eat more than me, so dieting isn’t my thing; but when I decide to make a change one step at a time, what originally seems daunting can become second-nature.
