Fall Eating Habits That Boost And Suppress Immunity
Immunity-suppressing: Meaty stews
You might be craving meat-heavy dishes like stew, meatloaf, and pot roast right now. It could be your cavemen ancestors thinking they need to fuel up for hibernation. But, meat is high in acid, and acid messes with your pH levels, which negatively impacts certain minerals in the body that are important for immunity. It can also be inflammatory, and when your body is busy fighting off inflammation, it can’t have as much energy to fight off viruses.
