Did you know that the state of our body can determine the degree to which we get sick or stay healthy? A body that is weakened or stressed may be more vulnerable to pathogens like viruses and bacteria. With this in mind, there has never been a better time to strengthen and support your immune system. Am I right?

Fortifying your immunity (and therefore your entire body) can mean that you may not only recover in top speed but potentially side step getting sick all together! I’ve put together my fav 3 immune building snacks that are full of nutrients and immune fortifying goodness to support you and your loved one’s health during this time and always.
