Best Immunity Boosting Snacks

In 2020, there has been an increase in the desire for people to evaluate their long-term health to reduce the threat of illness and disease. The desire to stay fit and active until as late in life as possible is something that will be intensified in the aftermath of COVID-19. We all recognize that poor immune systems are something that increase the risk of disease and illness, especially in later life. Snacks with ingredients that help to boost and improve immune systems will see lots of success post-pandemic.

Here are some of our favorite immunity-boosting snacks:

  • Dark Chocolate
    Dark chocolate contains an antioxidant called theobromine, which may help to boost the immune system by protecting the body’s cells from free radicals. Our ReCharge Dark Chocolate Energy Boost contains the perfect amount of dark chocolate along with a balance of other antioxidants.

 

  • Sunflower Seeds

    Sunflower seeds are a great addition They are a rich source of vitamin E, an antioxidant. In the same way as other antioxidants, vitamin E improves immune function by fighting off free radicals, which can damage cells.

 

  • Almonds
    Almonds are another excellent source of vitamin E. They also contain manganese, magnesium, and fiber. A small handful or a quarter of a cup of almonds is a healthy snack that may benefit the immune system.

 

  • Brazil Nuts
    Too little of the mineral selenium has been shown to delay immune response, while meeting the daily value has been known to enhance immunity. One ounce of Brazil nuts, about six to eight whole nuts, provides nearly 1,000% of the daily value for selenium.

 

  • Pumpkin Seeds

    The mineral zinc is a major player in immune function, with deficiencies leading to impairments in the way immune cells function. It also helps to keep skin and cells healthy, which keeps physical barriers to viruses strong. Next to seafood and meat, pumpkin seeds are one of the richest sources of zinc. Pumpkin seeds also boast high levels of magnesium, which is a muscle relaxant.
