Fall is approaching and with it come all the wonderful sights and smells of the season: leaves changing color, a nip in the air, the smell of wood burning in fireplaces, the line of coughing, sneezing people at the doctor’s office… Wait. Run that last one by me again?

If there’s one feature of this season that none of us look forward to it’s the endless round of colds and flu. Around this time every year, newspapers and magazines are full of articles about ways to boost your immune system and ward off illness. Here are some of the most proven tips:

1. Get enough sleep
   Sleep has been linked to balanced hormone levels, weight maintenance, focus, mood and healthy skin.
    
2. Wash your hands
   Wash for 15-20 seconds before eating or preparing food, and after coughing or sneezing, going to the bathroom, or touching surfaces in highly populated areas. Make sure you use warm water and soap.
    
3. Exercise
   Physical activity stimulates the body’s production of T-cells, a kind of white blood cell that guards against infection. Working out for around 30 minutes on most days should give your immune system a boost. As an added benefit, you’ll lose weight, increase your energy level and clear your skin.
    
4. Reduce stress
   Your body’s response to stress is to secrete more cortisol. Over time, this can lead to all kinds of health problems, including lowered immunity.
    
5. Eat less refined sugar
   A single 12-oz can of regular soda contains about 100 grams of sugar. That’s enough to reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill germs by 40% for up to 5 hours! (EBOOST contains no refined sugar.)
    
6. Take herbs and supplements
   Enter EBOOST!

In addition to being a superb energy booster, EBOOST contains many vitamins and herbs that play an important role in getting your immune system ready to face the seasonal onslaught. Let’s take a look, shall we? That’s a rhetorical question. I’m the writer, so we’re GOING to look.

• Vitamin C
  Enhances the body’s resistance to many different diseases. Strengthens the immune system by stimulating the activity of antibodies and immune system cells.
   
• Niacin
  Speeds the metabolism, causing increased tolerance to the cold.

   
• Vitamin B6
  Helps maintain the health of the thymus, spleen and lymph nodes. Increases antibody production and increases immune response.

   
• Folate (folic acid)
  Increases T-cell production and mitogen response (cell division to increase the immune response).

   
• Zinc
  Aids in the development and activation of T-lymphocytes. Zinc deficiency is associated with increased susceptibility to pneumonia and other infections.

   
• Selenium
  Helps the production of antioxidant enzymes. Deficiencey contributes to autoimmune diseases by making the body more susceptible to stress and disease.

   
• Green tea leaf extract
  Rich in antioxidants called catechins. When Canadian researchers added green tea to lab samples of the adenovirus (one of many that causes colds), the virus’ ability to replicate was severely inhibited. Likewise, researchers in South Korea found that green tea can stop the influenza virus from replicating.

   
• Astragalus
  Used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Helps protect the body against physical, mental and emotional stress. Prevents colds and upper respiratory infections.

So there you have it: regular doses of EBOOST will turn your immune system into a virus-fighting machine! But don’t take our word for it: try some yourself and leave the doctor’s waiting room to those other poor non-boosted folks.

Happy fall!


Most of you have heard of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.

Bike MS is a series of 100 bike rides across the US with one goal in mind: raising funds and awareness of Multiple Sclerosis. The money raised funds research for better treatments and a cure, and also allows the National MS Society to offer countless vital programs and services for the 400,000 Americans who are living with this devastating disease.
