An interesting article regarding a relationship between caloric intake and immune system strength according to a study performed on monkeys by Oregon Health & Science University's Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute.

Subject: RE: Caloric intake and immune system
I was expecting to see the exact opposite. Interesting.

On a somewhat related note, I have been seriously restricting caloric intake for the last few months (along with endurance training) and bounced back from the cold I picked up a few days ago with speed I have bever experienced. It may (and likely does) also extend into my healthy diet and supplements (just protein and multi-vitamins).


Who would have ever thought that eating right and working out would have a positive impact on your health?
