While the pandemic is continuing its impact on the globe, winter with flu season is setting in too. We must take care of our health by keeping immune system in good shape, healthy and active to fight both Covid-19 and flu. Our White Blood Cells (WBC) also need attention to keep immune system in good condition. A change in WBC (high or low) can have several impacts on our body.

A low WBC count means – viral infections, immune disorders, fatigue, shortness of breath, weakness and other type of sickness. High WBC can result in microbial infection, stress, immune system disorders, thyroid problem, inflammation, lymphoma, leukemia etc.
