Boost Your Immunity With Nutrition
This winter, cases of the common cold, the flu, RSV and COVID-19 are
prevalent. Since a healthy diet can help boost your immune system, it’s
crucial more than ever to take care of your body so it can fight off infectious
diseases.
Consider the following immune-boosting diet tips:
• Focus on putting nutritious foods into your body. Your body absorbs
nutrients from whole fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and proteins
more efficiently than processed foods or supplements.
• Limit inflammatory foods such as those with refined carbohydrates,
trans fats, high-fructose corn syrup, refined oils and high sodium
content. Think of it as limiting or avoiding processed and fast food
when possible.
• Choose fruits, vegetables (especially leafy greens), nuts, fatty fish
and olive oil. Focus on fueling your body with healthy foods that
include dietary fiber, nutrients or probiotics.
• Stay hydrated and drink enough water for your body to operate at its
best.
