Dr. Gratton answers your questions about Herbalife Best Defense ™.
Q: What steps can I take to keep my immune system functioning at its best?
A: Here are some simple steps you can take to boost your immune system:
- Ease up on the sugar: Consuming 100 grams of sugar – roughly what’s in a can
of sod – can weaken your body’s ability to kill germs.
- Put the beer down: Excessive alcohol can reduce your body’s germ - killing defenses; plus, alcohol
creates an immune deficiency by robbing the body of nutrients.
- Get some shuteye: Sleeping six to eight hours a night – eight is better – can help rebuild
your body’s natural defenses.
Q: What should I look out for to avoid weakening my immune system?
A: Everything from increased stress to crowded places can leave you feeling under
the weather. And, while there are steps you can take to manage your stress levels,
sometimes you can’t avoid spending time in crowded environments, like
airplanes. For times like those, you need to be prepared. And one of the best ways
is with Herbalife’s new Best Defense ™ effervescent immunity drink.*
Q: How will Best Defense ™ support my immune system?
A: Best Defense ™ contains a premium combination of echinacea, zinc and
Vitamin C – all of which have been shown to boost immune functioning–as
well as ginger, schizandra and astralagus. This powerful combination will
support your body’s resistance and help you stay well.*
