EDITOR’S LETTER<br />
Change What<br />
You Can<br />
As we finalize this issue for the printer,<br />
the coronavirus pandemic is at its height.<br />
Everyone on the <strong>Better</strong> <strong>Nutrition</strong> staff is<br />
working from home for the foreseeable<br />
future. It’s been an adjustment, but<br />
we’ve all pulled together to get it done.<br />
(A special thank you to my staff, who<br />
went above and beyond for this edition.)<br />
Like many, my emotions are a bit of<br />
a roller coaster right now—one minute,<br />
I’m in acceptance of the situation and<br />
appreciating the quiet time, and the<br />
next, I’m worrying about my family’s<br />
health and a million other things out<br />
of my control. And while there is a lot<br />
beyond our control, there is also a great<br />
deal that we can manage or change on<br />
our own, especially when it comes to<br />
food choices.<br />
Feeding your body with nourishing<br />
food is one of the best things you can do<br />
to stay healthy, not just physically but<br />
also mentally. Social isolation can lead<br />
to depression, anxiety, and other mental<br />
health issues. In addition to fortifying<br />
your immune system, a clean diet also<br />
begets mental clarity and positivity.<br />
This issue is filled with immune<br />
health advice, including “New Viruses:<br />
What You Need to Know for a Healthy<br />
Future,” p. 8, and “The Ultimate Immunity<br />
Biohack,” p. 26.<br />
For up-to-the-minute immune<br />
health articles, please sign up for<br />
our email newsletter Healthy Buzz<br />
(at betternutrition.com) and follow<br />

Twitter. We are here to help you stay<br />
healthy and mentally strong during<br />
this challenging time!<br />
