Omega-3's (fish oil) are also easily used. Some probiotics have beneficial effects, but not as strongly as these.

Of course there is exercise and curbing the bad foods.

We all need to take better care of ourselves. It is much more fun to do so now than when the damage is already done.

But they reduce the immune system, so be careful.
