As the leaves start to change and temperatures drop, it is crucial to prioritize your health and well-being. One aspect of staying healthy is bolstering your immune system. I’m sure you are reaching for more oranges, but in this week’s Health Hacks we’re going over two options that you might not know of that also give your immune system a helpful boost.
- Vitamin C
This antioxidant helps protect cells from damage and supports the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting infections. Foods rich in Vitamin C include citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruits, lemons), bell peppers, strawberries, kiwi, and broccoli.
- Zinc
Zinc is involved in various immune functions, including cell growth and development, and helps regulate the immune response. You can get zinc from oysters, red meat, poultry, beans, nuts, and whole grains.
- Probiotics
These beneficial bacteria support a healthy gut microbiome, which plays a crucial role in immune function. Examples of probiotics include yogurt, kefir, fermented vegetables (like sauerkraut and kimchi), and kombucha.
By incorporating these immune-boosting nutrients into your diet, you can help strengthen your body’s natural defenses and stay healthy throughout the fall and winter seasons.
