Take On 2021 With A Strong Immune System
Happy New Year, friend!
Look at you! You made it to 2021. That is certainly something to be proud of. With 2020 finally behind us, it’s time for a fresh, healthy start. Getting your immune system in tip-top shape is a great way to prepare for the year ahead.
What is immunity?
Immunity refers to the body’s ability to resist infection and disease. The immune system is the network of cells, tissues and organs in your body that helps keep you healthy.
Why is it important?
Your immune system helps protect your body from harmful bacteria, viruses and germs that could make you ill. It works hard every day without you even noticing, but there are easy ways you can support it to help keep your immune defenses strong.
How can you support it?
Nutrition plays a major role in the function of the immune system. Consuming sufficient amounts of immune-supporting nutrients like vitamin D, vitamin C, selenium and more is a good way to help your immune system.
