Stay Healthy with These Mighty Immunity Boosts
These Essential Vitamins and Minerals Are Key to a Healthy Immune System: Vitamin C helps your body boost its production of the antioxidant that is required by the immune system to function optimally. Vitamin C increases your body’s production of interferon, which is anti-viral. Vitamin C is also thought to help boost the production of white blood cells, key to fighting infections. Fruits high in Vitamin C include: grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, kiwis and clementines. A single papaya has 224 percent of the daily recommended amount of Vitamin C. Red bell peppers contain even twice as much Vitamin C than citris fruits. Vegitables such as broccoli and spinach boast a good amount of Vitamin C as well as antioxidants. Vitamin D is another effective supplement to help boost your immune system. Look for Yogurt that is fortified with Vitamin D and that has a "live and active cultures" label. Vitamin D may stimulate your immune systemand boost
your body's natural defence against diseases. Vitamin B6 is vital for supporting chemical reactions in the immune system and for the formation of new and healthy red blood cells. B6 also helps your body make interleukin-2 which helps direct the actions of your white blood cells. Poultry, such as chicken and turkey, is high in Vitamin B6. Sunflower seeds are also packed full of Vitamin B6 as well as phosphorus, magnesium, and Vitamin E. Vitamin E is key to a healthy immune system as it helps to regulate and maintain function. It can be found in sunflower seeds, almonds, avocados, and dark leafy greens.
Steps We are Taking at OSR to Keep You Safe: As a healthcare provider, we understand our responsibility to keep our schedules open and provide a safe environment for our patients to heal. We want you to know we are diligently following CDC guidelines to provide an opportunity for our patients to work with our PTs under the COVID-19 circumstances. Your safety and healing are our top priority! We are focused on keeping our equipment and facilities clean. We are also in the process of reaching out to patients to check in and space out appointments, and are even moving one of our clinic locations so we can continue to keep our schedules open for our patients who need us. We will get through this together!
Zinc is also needed by our bodies to support a healthy immune system. Shellfish such as crab, clams, lobster, and mussels are all packed with zinc. Make sure to stick to the daily recommended amount 11mg for men and 8mg for women, as too much could actually inhibit the immune system. CAULIFLOWER HOT WINGS WITH VEGAN AIOLI
