How To Boost Your Immune System

Want to lower your risk of getting sick? There are two key factors you can control: what you eat and how you move.

?

Let's talk "superfoods" - those minimally processed powerhouses packed with micronutrients like vitamins B, C, D, zinc, and selenium. These nutrients are your body's secret weapons, triggering a robust immune response when you encounter threats.

?

But here's the kicker: variety is crucial. You can't just load up on vitamin C and zinc supplements and call it a day. Your body needs a symphony of nutrients working together.

?

"To build a bullet-proof wall of immunity, your body needs an interplay of 'harmonious interactions' between various micronutrients," says Christopher Gardner, a nutrition scientist at Stanford School of Medicine.

?

So, what's the game plan? Aim for a rainbow on your plate. Include different colored fruits and vegetables daily, along with whole grains, lean protein, and healthy oils like olive and avocado.

?

Here are some immune-boosting superstars to consider:

First before I dig into all the foods ...

1. Avocados: They're not just for toast! One avocado provides 22% of your daily vitamin C and 12% of your daily zinc.

?

2. Spinach: This leafy green packs a punch with 20% of your daily vitamin C and 12% of your daily zinc per cup when cooked.

?

3. Yogurt: Probiotics in yogurt support a healthy gut, where much of your immune system resides.

?

4. Blueberries: These little blue wonders can almost double the number of natural killer cells in your bloodstream.

?

5. Salmon: Rich in vitamin D, which is crucial for immune function.

?

But don't forget the other half of the equation: exercise.

?

Even a quick 15-minute workout can boost your immune function. How? Exercise increases the production of natural killer cells, a type of white blood cell that fights infected and cancerous cells in your body.

?

If your body isn't strong and resilient, your immune system has to work overtime to fight off invaders - and it might not always win.

?

Struggling to put together a balanced, superfood-rich eating plan? I'd be happy to help. While you're mastering the basics, a solid supplement regimen might be a good way to support your immune system in the meantime.

?

Remember, "The best defense against acute threats is chronically good health," as Dr. David Katz, founder of the True Health Initiative, puts it.
