10 Immune-Boosting Recipes

March 26, 2020

I truly believe that the best thing we can do in this crazy time is to maintain healthy habits, stay calm and positive and do whatever we can for our mental health. Everyone wants to boost their immune system (for good reason!) and there are some simple healthy habits to make sure you’re doing to do just that:

  • Sleep! Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Many of you no longer have a commute time and none of us have social lives at night so you have no excuse anymore! Try to get 7-9 hours of sleep a night.
  • Water. Water is sooooo key for so many bodily functions. I know it can be hard to get your water in, especially when you’re just sitting around home all day but find a way to make it work for you! Get a water bottle that encourages you to drink more. Set up a tracking system that the whole household can use. You’ve got this!
  • Watch your sugar intake. Sugar can inhibit your immune response so be mindful of how much sugar you’re eating!
  • Move. Movement is amazing for your immune system and your mental health. Double whammy! It doesn’t have to be anything extreme, a gentle yoga flow or walk outside is perfect.

Now of course what you eat matters too! There are many immune boosting ingredients you can work to incorporate – many are in the recipes listed below! I thought I’d round up some of my favorite immune-boosting recipes from the archives that can hopefully help inspire your meal plans this week.
