What you need to know about COVID-19
That it LOVES weakened immune systems.
The best way you can protect yourself and your family during this outbreak is to boost your immune system.
The following foods (that you'll find mostly in-store at Unpackaged) will do just that.
Collectively these foods and ingredients contain antimicrobial, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties.
So, get creative, spice things up and try something new.
Garlic
Onion
Raw Honey
Turmeric (fresh or ground)
Ginger (fresh or ground)
Sunflower Seeds
Cloves (fresh or ground)
Black Pepper
Oranges
Papaya
Mandarins
Grapefruit
Lemons
Limes
Carrots
Mushrooms
Matcha Green Tea
Fruits and vegetables are loaded with micro-nutrients that flood our body with the necessary building blocks for a strong immune system. Try to include as many as you can into your diet to reap the immune-boosting benefits.
Probiotics & the good bacteria
Probiotics are also important as they help to feed the good bacteria in the gut. The gut plays an incredibly important role in immune health and as such, including probiotic-rich foods in the diet will help to support it.
Probiotic-rich foods include:
Kombucha - (you can find Strawberry, Peach or Ginger & Tumeric on tap at Unpackaged.)
Yoghurt
Sauerkraut
Pickles
Miso
Tempeh
Kimchi
Now, more than ever, the "prevention is better than a cure" message is so important.
Make prioritising your health your #1 concern and be the example for others.
