School's back and kids come home with runny noses as they get exposed to inevitable germs and bugs.

The best way to protect them from catching the typical coughs and sniffles is to provide the nutritional support needed to help their immune systems function at their best.

Ingredients:
1/2 large onion
2 celery stalks
1 jalapeno
2 habanero peppers
4 garlic cloves
5 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup water

1/2 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste

2. After cooking onions, add the chopped celery, peppers, and garlic and saute for about 2-3 minutes.

3. Then, using a blender or food processor pulse the garbanzo beans with 1 Tbsp water until the beans are completely mashed (you can also mash by hand). Then add the mashed beans, broth, and water into the pot and bring to a boil.

4. Add pinto beans, kale, seasonings, and parsley. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let simmer for 20 minutes or until the kale is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

1. A nutritious diet is key. Incorporate foods rich in vitamins C and E, zinc, antioxidants, and balanced protein.
2. Cut back on foods and drinks high in added sugars, avoid highly processed foods and those with high saturated fat, and limit alcohol consumption.
3. Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep at night to stay in the healthy zone.
4. Get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.
5. Manage your stress levels. Engage in stress-reduction techniques like mindfulness, meditation, or yoga.
6. Support your gut health by eating foods rich in probiotics like yogurt, kimchi, and kefir and pair them with prebiotic foods such as garlic, onion, and apples.

Your body comes into contact with harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi every single day.

One critical piece of the puzzle for avoiding illness is our body's built-in defense mechanism, the immune system.

One challenge with most weight loss programs is that you are often losing the wrong weight.

At the beginning of your diet, the scale seems to be going in the right direction. But you're not only losing fat, you're also losing muscle. Muscle loss slows down your metabolism, which makes it harder to continue losing weight since you're not burning as many calories. This is why most successful dieters regain all of the weight they lost within one year.

Your weight loss plan must be designed so that you lose fat but keep the muscle and stay hydrated.

Walking is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health. It is a low impact activity, requires minimal equipment, can be done at any time of day and can be performed at your own pace. Here are 5 easy tips to walk more.

1. Always be ready - Keep a pair of walking shoes by the door at home and at work so an impromptu stroll is easy.
2. Dress right - Choose lose, comfortable clothing that gives you plenty of room to move.
3. Enrich the experience - Listen to your favorite music, podcast or audio book.
4. Mall-walk - Just make sure to leave your cash and credit cards at home to avoid temptations to buy at stores.
5. Find a walking partner - It makes the walk more interesting and it helps make you more accountable.

1. Have a meal plan - Make the week’s dinners ahead of time and freeze them. You can also have healthy leftovers for lunch.

2. Choose your snacks wisely - Try healthy snack bars that support your health, or snack on fresh cut veggies.

3. Get interesting with flavor - Try different flavors in your cooking. Jazz up simple veggies with spices, garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, ginger, or even balsamic vinegar.

4. Eat a rainbow - Colorful veggies happen to be full of nutrients. Compounds like carotenes, anthocyanins, lycopene, astaxanthin, and others give the veggies their color and are beneficial for your health.

5. Know the nutrients you need - Women require more iron and calcium than men. Vitamins D and B (especially folate) and essential fatty acids are also important for women’s health.

6. Cut the junk - We’re talking about trans fats, processed foods, too much sugar, and fried foods. A treat here and there is okay; just practice moderation.

7. Be careful with alcohol - Drinking too much can derail your health in a number of ways. Limit yourself to one glass.

A funnel is where you string together educational content into a sequence of steps. This allows you to educate your prospects and existing customers on a simple, step-by-step path. You'll never need to use pushy sales tactics to get them to take action.

When you guide someone through your funnels, it allows you to cut through the noise and focus their fragmented attention on your message. It's critical to remember that people don't buy the best products, they buy the products they can understand the fastest. A funnel simplifies your marketing system.

Guiding someone into your funnel helps you build your marketing lists, gets people to your live events, and helps you build your team by providing a simple, duplicatable path for them to follow.

Decide what it is that you want. Write it down, plan and work on it every single day.

Meditation or mindfulness practices can help reduce your stress levels and avoid burnout, improve your mental health, boost your creativity, and so much more.

Try at least 10 minutes of meditation to start your day.
