Micronutrients and the Immune System, Powered by dotFIT™
from Fitness and Wellness Class Hosted by NASM Podcast Network
A properly nourished human body is the greatest known pharmacy. No one has been able to duplicate it or we would not need vaccines. In fact, a vaccine is a “product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific pathogen and related disease, protecting the person from that disease, i.e. the cure is created by the human body." Without proper nutrition, the immune system is poorly equipped to defend the body when exposed to pathogens. For this reason, we must take a “prevention before cure approach” when it comes to immunity support. On this episode, host Kat Barefield, MS, RD will cover the key micronutrients involved in the immune system, which ones many people fall short of, and how to build and support a strong immune system through nutrition.
