    Your daily reminder that once someone tells you to "boost your immune system" you can safely ignore every word they say #COVID19 #coronavirus

        Isn't an overactive immune system bad anyway?

        Except if they’re telling you sensible things like eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, try to reduce stressors. If they’re trying to sell you supplements or other kinds of “miraculous” crap, then yes, stop reading immediately

        Whether or not you can BOOST a healthy immune system; You can certainly DAMAGE it! Advice about how to REPAIR a damaged immune system MAY well be good advice. (Healthy-nutrition, good quality sleep, & appropriate exercise, will be factors).

        Lol, that article starts "you CAN boost your immune system, because evolution" No reference, no rationale, just "because evolution" Definitely a trustworthy source you've got there
