Cold weather is right around the corner, which means that cold and flu season is coming. While many people bombard their bodies with cold medicine and supplements that their system cannot even absorb properly, there are some great Paleo foods that boost your immune system naturally that you should be taking advantage of instead. Here’s some ideas from Evolve Paleo Chef on immunity-boosting Paleo foods and a few of our delicious Paleo snacks to try to keep you safe this winter!
Grass-Fed Beef
Grass-fed beef is high in vitamins A and E, omega-3s, beta-carotene, zinc, and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). Many Americans are zinc-deficient, so they don’t get enough of this incredibly beneficial mineral. Even a slight zinc deficiency can increase your risk of infection, so be sure to grab some of Evolve’s delicious grass-fed beef jerkies to snack on to make sure that your zinc levels are up!
Coconuts
Coconut has an abundance of lauric acid, which can help significantly strengthen a person’s immunity. Make sure you’re eating organic coconuts that are unrefined, unbleached, and are non-GMO to fully take advantage of this immunity-boosting Paleo food. If you’re looking for a way to get coconut in your diet quickly, and deliciously, try Evolve’s Key Lime Paleo Balls today!
Blueberries
As is frequently advertised, blueberries are packed with antioxidants, while also being especially Paleo, as they are much lower in sugar than other fruits. These little berries contain powerful phytochemicals that make it a particularly potent immune system booster. Pick up a bag of Evolve’s Double Berry Paleo Balls to really take advantage of the immune benefits of blueberries.
Herbs and Spices
Most herbs and spices are the very best immune boosters. Garlic is incredibly beneficial to an immune system because it is antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal. Garlic has also proven itself to be anticarcinogenic, it can lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and reduces the risk of stroke. You should be eating garlic every day, which is great news because who doesn’t like garlic? Herbs, like oregano, are also powerful immune boosters. For a delicious way to incorporate garlic and herbs regularly, get a few jars of Evolve’s Paleo Ghees!
