Dr Jau-Fei Chen discovered the link between proper nutrition and a healthy immune system during her extensive research into cancer. She says that everything your body needs for better health is actually in the supermarket!
It’s all in your food often, when we think about health, we become overwhelmed. With so many health trends out there, it is tricky to pick the one that is best for you. Well, great news! The secret to a productive, disease-free life is in what you put on your plate.
1 NUTRITIONAL IMMUNOLOGY
Your health condition is closely linked to the food that you consume. What you eat not only fills you up, it also provides the nutrition that’s needed to function at an optimal level. As good nutrition is vital in ensuring a healthy immune system, it’s enough to say that with the right ingredients in your daily meals, you’re well on your way to a healthier body.
2 START WITH A BREAKFAST FIT FOR CHAMPIONS
Breakfast is the first and also the most important meal, as it sets your productivity throughout the day. A good breakfast should contain all the nutrition that your body needs – among others, phytochemicals and antioxidants. A good breakfast should also include fibre, which helps to reduce the absorption of cholesterol and excessive calories.
