If you’ve spent the last few months at home and noticed yourself hunting for snacks in the cupboards more than usual, then you also may have noticed the number on the scale moving upwards. You are not alone, many others have found their eating habits have also been affected by the Covid Shut in.

I have heard a lot of talk in the past 4 months on how we should protect ourselves to avoid getting the Covid-19 virus. We’ve been told to shelter in place at home, socially distance and wear a mask (even outdoors). But what I don’t see is very many people talking about what is probably the more important issue, strengthening our immune system. A strong immune system is able to combat Covid-19 and other viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites with less affect on the body or risk to life.
From what I am reading in scientific papers, medical doctor blogs and educational videos is that what we really need to be doing is building a strong immune system, not hiding from disease. Research shows that a strong immunity will decrease the severity, if not prevent the virus from ever getting a foothold in your body. We have used food and vitamins for years to help build our immunity every day. You remember the slogans; “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, “Eat Oranges for Vit C”, and more recently, “A can a day” is all Almond farmers ask. These are all ways to naturally build our body’s immune system. So why are we so sick as a nation? Read More
