Nutrition as a strategy to optimize the immune system

Illustrative photo

Our immune system is complex and composed of the ideal balance of many physical, genetic, environmental factors as well as physical activity and nutrition.

Eating a variety of foods as part of the diet is essential for the health and functioning of all body cells and immune cells in particular.

A deficiency of a single nutrient can alter the body's immune response.

Nutrients that have been identified as critical to the growth and function of immune cells include

Vitamin C

Vitamin D

Vitamin B complex

ZINC

selenium

Iron

proteins

These nutrients work as antioxidants to protect healthy cells, support the growth and activity of immune cells, and produce antibodies.

A Rainbow Diet is the healthiest way to optimize the immune system.
