let's BOOST our immune system together!

With winter here, we MUST do our best to fight off the cold, flu, and other illnesses...together, we can boost our immunity by simply changing up our diet a bit and adding some SUPER foods that'll help our bodies fight these off!! Eating a diet high in fruits and veggies is a definite plus for your overall health, but there are some foods that are higher in antioxidants

which are vitamin C, D and beta-carotene.

Vitamin C can be found in red, green or yellow peppers, strawberries, oranges, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, broccoli, snow peas

Vitamin E can be found in broccoli, carrots, mustard or collard greens, nuts, pumpkin, spinach

beta-carotene and other carotenoids, can be found in beets, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, kale, asparagus

*TO GET THE MOST BENEFIT, EAT THESE FOODS RAW OR LIGHTLY STEAMED

Studies have also shown both zinc and selenium also help in boosting our immune systems!
