FORTIFY YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM Foods That Fight Infection
This time of year, it’s wise to choose foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc. These mighty micronutrients are your secret weapon to fend off infections like COVID-19, flu and the common cold. Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits and green vegetables, while zinc and vitamin D are abundant in animal proteins, fortified dairy, eggs, legumes, nuts and seeds. Your doctor may recommend a supplement if your diet is lacking these nutrients. When you take care of your immune system, it returns the favor. Make these simple and smart choices to keep you rolling while feeling your best. SNACKS THAT PACK A PUNCH AGAINST ILLNESS Before you head out on the road, grab some of these immune-boosting
