Vincentians are being encouraged to exercise good nutrition and lifestyle practices to reduce the risks of becoming infected with viral diseases such as the cold and flu.
The advice came from Naturopath, Dr. Stan Horne, while speaking on the Face to face programme aired on NBC Radio this morning.
Dr. Horne said failure to properly care for the body will result in a weakening of the immune system, which causes the body to become susceptible to infections.
Dr. Horne also said that environmental factors, such as allergens, can also cause a deterioration of the body’s immune system.
