Is your body in the right shape to fight off viruses and fend off germs that can make you sick? It not, there are certain things you can do that will help you stay healthy year-round. Family Medicine physician Shane Bush, M.D. of Portage Medical Group offers simple habits you can use to give your immune system a boost.
Don’t just rely on a multivitamin for nutrients. Make sure you include immune-boosting foods into your daily diet. Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and low in saturated fat. Look for foods that are rich in vitamins B2 and B6; vitamin C; vitamin D; vitamin E; selenium; and zinc among others.
