NUTRITION FOR IMMUNITY
I’ll admit sometimes naturopaths look past basic nutrition because we have so many complex and amazing herbs at our fingertips...we need to come back to basics!! 📚VITAMIN C - sufficient levels allow your immune system to attack pathogens while it performs damage control in the background, supporting your body’s cellular resilience.
VITAMIN A - overlooked forever but a super crucial vitamin. Vitamin A is responsible for an immunoglobulin called secretory IgA which governs the protection of our immune system across all of our mucous membranes: think the lining of the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and skin. We need Vitamin A to keep these barrier defence lines strong!
ZINC - the mothership of all minerals; zinc is responsible for over 300 chemical reactions in your body. This means that for our basic functions, zinc needs to be there. On top of that, zinc has a huge role in your immune system’s ability to have standard defences, but also develop cells that can recognise and fight new pathogens like viruses 🦠
All of this info is a demonstration of why a naturopath can help support your immune resilience at this time! Combine science and reality for simple tools that can help keep your defences strong! •
