Lesson 5: Boost Your Immunity With Prebiotics,
Published: Fri, 01/29/21
One of the most important aspects of your immune system is having a healthy digestive system.
A prebiotic is a dietary fiber, it helps you maintain your gut's friendly bacteria. When you consume prebiotics, you encourage your gut to produce nutrients that create a healthier digestive system. What does your gut have to do with immunity?
Well, a healthy gut means you are more protected against infections. If you aren't sure where to get prebiotics, look no further! Plantains, chicory root, garlic, jicama, artichokes, onions, leeks, barley, bananas, and asparagus are all excellent sources.
In addition to prebiotics, antioxidants are also an excellent way to boost your immunity. It all comes back to stress (again). What stress does is breaks your immune system down and leaves you more prone to disease and illness.
By ensuring your diet is packed with antioxidants you are boosting your immunity.
So, where do you get your antioxidants? From colorful vegetables and fruits like spinach, carrots, and berries. This will help your body battle oxidative stress, which will result in stronger immunity.
In addition to eating a healthy diet, you have to consider your prebiotic and antioxidant intake. That's what we mean when we talk about a well-balanced diet.
Your diet should be a healthy balance of everything your body needs, and a variety of options to keep things interesting.
