FRIDAY 5 - Immune Building Food

The immune system protects you from harmful pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, that you might be exposed to from the air you breathe, food, and people you touch.

All these immune cells require certain minerals, nutrients, and energy to do their jobs properly. Any deficiencies in these vital components may lead to a sluggish immune response to the enemy resulting in infection and disease. 

Lifestyle and mental perspectives also contribute to an impaired immune system due to their effect on sleep and stress management. A sleep-deprived or chronically stressed body is at far more risk of being overcome by a pathogen than one without fatigue and in harmony.

In today's Friday 5, I am focusing on the top 5 immune-building foods.

Highlight's from today's episode include:

  • The power of phytonutrients and why it is vital to have colour in your diet.
  • The role of healthy fats in the immune response. 
  • Why dietary fibre and a healthy gut microbiome optimise your immune defence. 
  • How beta-glucans in mushrooms fight against pathogens like viruses and bacteria. 
  • Any why chicken broth is the perfect antidote when you are sick as it stops viral replication.
