A SCIENCE BASED APPROACH TO BETTER HEALTH

Dr Candrawinata says the immune system works well when your body is healthy. “The immune system is a system, not a single organ. To function well, it requires balance so that it can work in harmony to provide us with the best protection.”

Here are his tips.

• Eat fruit and veggies; they are high in fibre and antioxidants.

• Sleep enough and well; quantity is not always a priority, because the quality of your sleep also matters.

• Avoid smoking and reduce alcohol intake.

• Exercise ... get sweaty!
