If you’ve been thinking about ways to amp up your diet for a stronger immune system, now is the time. Nutrition can go a long way in supporting overall health and supporting a robust immune system.
Each time you eat, the body is flooded with substances that either increase or degrade the immune response. By removing foods that deplete immune system resources (e.g., sugar, alcohol, gluten, and refined carbohydrates) while incorporating ones that boost immune defences (e.g. vegetables, fruit, healthy fats), the body’s white blood cells receive the nourishment that they need to promote optimal immune system function.
