With the cold and flu season in full throttle, you may be thinking of the best ways to boost your immune system. As noted in Harvard Health Publications' How to Boost Your Immune System, age, diet, exercise and stress may be factors.
But just how does your immune system work? PhD students from the University of Toronto's Department of Immunology will be presenting an educational seminar on how our bodies fight bacteria, viruses and other organisms and the role hygiene plays in our immune system. Learn more at North York Central Library on Thursday January 30, 7 p.m. in Room 1.
