Cutting processed foods
Your gut is the literal and figurative epicenter for everything that goes on in your body. So watch what you put in it. Your gut contains a microbiome that’s made up of trillions of microorganisms and microbes. These play an important role in our immunity. A diet rich in unprocessed or minimally processed foods contains nutrition needed to boost our microbiome. An ultra-processed diet does not provide such nutrients and as such, can weaken the immune system, says Harvard University. Processed food can also lead to chronic inflammation, which weakens the immune response. So while fast food may save you time right now, it can cost you a lot later.
