The K.I.S.S. ~ Strengthen your immune system!

• Zinc: It’s an essential mineral for a healthy immune system as it supports cellular activity, healing wounds, and normal growth. Zinc also acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
  • Foods high in zinc: eggs, red meat (grass-fed beef or lamb), chickpeas, cashews, almonds, hemp seeds, and pumpkin seeds, plus more.
• Selenium: It’s a necessary mineral to fight seasonal sickness. It also helps to counteract the aging of the immune system. So as you get wiser, you immune system stays a little younger.
  • Brazil nuts are one of the richest sources of selenium. You don’t need a ton a day (like 2-3).
  • Eggs, salmon, beef, and turkey including sunflower seeds, brown rice, mushrooms, and spinach.
• Vitamin A: This vitamin is special! It packs a punch for an incredible immune system. It keeps your mucous membranes that cover internal organs strong so infection is kept out. Vitamin A is also important for proper functioning of immune cells and for the generation of antibody responses to specific antigens.
  • Eggs, meat, fish, and organs like liver (preformed vitamin A). Your body can use it as it.
  • Eat colorful vegetables (deep green, yellow, and orange). Kale, spinach, carrots, and sweet potatoes. These plant-based sources contain provitamin A carotenoids,(including beta-carotene). Your body has to break this down to be utilized.
