5 Expert Tips For Super Immunity

September 4, 2018

I provided some expert commentary for this article for Clean Plates on keeping your immune system healthy:

Your mom was right (again): For good health, cut down on sweets and eat your greens. You know it’s the way to have more energy, keep your weight in check, and more importantly—it’s also the nutrient-packed path to boosted immunity, says registered dietitian nutritionist Maya Feller. “A diet mostly composed of plants supports a strong immune system,” she says, adding that it’s also important to eat “foods in their minimally processed (aka natural) forms, and limit added sugars and lab-made fats and salts.”
