The immune system has one crucial goal: to defend your body. It is a complex system influenced by your environment and lifestyle habits: quality sleep, regular exercise, and what you eat.
The largest part of the immune system – approximately 70 percent of it – is located near the intestines, which is why a balanced diet is crucial.
A diet limited in variety and lacking in one or more nutrients can impair the activity of many organ systems, including the immune system. To keep normal, healthy bodies in optimal condition, we need to consume protein, essential fats like omega-3s, fiber to support our microbiome, as well as a host of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.
However, achieving the right amount of nutrients solely through diet can be challenging. Dietary supplements can help you ensure your immune system has the necessary materials to work optimally.
