@karalynne.call: With school starting, we all know those seasonal bugs start making their rounds. When anyone in the house gets sick, it helps to reach for better ingredients that actually nourish the body while it fights illness: 🍯 Honey 💛 Zinc 🍋 Lemon 🌿 Bee Pollen 🍎 Apple Cider Vinegar 🫚 Ginger 🥥 Coconut Oil 🌱 Eucalyptus And more! But just as important as what we add is what we avoid. So many over-the-counter products sneak in things that can actually work against your immune system, like: 🚫 Artificial dyes 🚫 Artificial sweeteners 🚫 GMO sugar, soy, or corn 🚫 Artificial preservatives Since 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, these additives can do more harm than good when you're trying to recover. As Dan Peterson, professor at Johns Hopkins, explains: "A huge proportion of your immune system is actually in your Gl tract... certain cells in the lining of the gut spend their lives excreting massive quantities of antibodies into the gut." #fyp #medicine #backtoschool #schoollife #sick
