Recommendation | Why | Get started |
---|---|---|
Choose fats wisely | Opt for mono-unsaturated fats, such as olive oil, over other kinds of fats to ensure optimal immune function. | |
Cut down on sugar | All forms of sugar (including honey) interfere with white blood cells’ ability to destroy bacteria, so cutting back is one way to give your immune system a boost. | |

Avoid alcohol binges | Limit alcohol intake to avoid damaging effects to your immune system. |
