Smoothies are a great way to sneak immune-supportive fruits and veggies into the daily diet. With Covid-19 continuing to be a global challenge, even for those who are triple vaccinated, diet is an excellent way to help boost your immune system. Whether you are trying to escape the monster or recovering from infection, good nutrition and hydration is critical.
Some foods that are effective in boosting the immune system include citrus, spinach, avocado, ginger, basil, black pepper, tumeric, green tea, garlic, broccoli, beans, nuts and seeds.
Please note that foods or supplements alone will not cure or prevent infection. The only way to protect yourself against Covid-19 is vaccination, physical distancing and proper hygiene practice.
