Montréal enSanté: Captivate to Better Inform
Cholesterol, flu, hospital environments…. Health isn’t always the most seductive media subject.

5 Scientifically Proven Ways to Boost Immunity
Can your diet (or lifestyle) improve your immune system? Yes it can, but be skeptical of supplements making these claims because there’s no single food or nutrient that will magically boost immunity.
