EAT for immunity

STOCK UP ON THESE EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS TO HELP FIGHT INFECTION

Boosting your immunity has never been more important. From the change of the seasons as the weather cools to the ongoing pandemic leaving many of us wanting to be fighting fit, diet can play a crucial part in your health.

Dietician and co-founder of Be Fit Food, Kate Save, explains you don’t need to shell out on expensive superfoods and supplements.

“Our body benefits from a healthy diet, and the immune system is no different,” she says. “Specifically, fruit and vegetables that are loaded with nutrients such as beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E are known to boost immune function.”
