🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Give Some Love to Your Immune System

Be Nice to Your Immune System

One of the best immune-boosting foods is fruit, due to their high content of polyphenols, especially flavonoids. Studies have found that eating fruit before exercise helps to reduce inflammation, oxidative stress and immune dysfunction in the body after exercise. Polyphenols are also found in nuts and vegetables, tea and coffee. To maintain these benefits, there must be consistency. . . . One way you can stay fighting fit is to stock up on gut-friendly, polyphenol-rich, vitamin-full fruits and vegetables. Of course, this alone won’t prevent transmission of coronavirus or any other viruses, we also need to stay vigilant with hand-washing and staying indoors when symptoms occur. But it’s one way we can ensure our immune system is best equipped to keep us healthy.
