A strong immune system is your body’s first line of defense against illness. Vitamins and minerals play a critical role in supporting immunity. Here are the essentials:
- Vitamin C – Supports immune cells and acts as an antioxidant. Found in citrus, strawberries, and bell peppers.
- Vitamin D – Regulates immune response. Low levels are linked to higher infection risk.
- Zinc – Helps immune cells function properly. Found in meat, beans, and seeds.
- Vitamin A – Maintains mucous membranes in the respiratory tract, a barrier to infections.
- Probiotics – Not a vitamin, but beneficial gut bacteria help regulate immune responses.
💡 Tip: A balanced diet with these nutrients is the best way to support immunity naturally. Supplements can help if diet alone isn’t enough.
