Keeping your immune system healthy is important anytime, but even more so during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

That's because our bodies have never met this year's coronavirus, which means we have no idea how to fight it off. We don't have the right antibodies to deploy.

Some of us are being hit harder than others with the infection, undermining our sense of control.
