Our Favourite Immune Boosting Recipes

It is well established that the nutritional deficiency even if relatively mild can impair immune functions. Micronutrients such as zinc, selenium, vitamins A, C, E and B-vitamins may help optimize immune function including improving defense function and therefore resistance to infection.

Eating a diet rich in colourful, flavoursome micronutrients is a fool proof way to boost your immunity and allow it to work optimally.

Elevate your immunity further by including an array of plants & fungiii with potent immune modulating properties including garlic, ginger, turmeric, raw honey, medicinal mushrooms, fresh herbs & spices.

Get creative in the kitchen and know what you are putting into your body is contributing to a healthy and strong immune system.
