Instead of a recipe today, I will tell you what foods and supplements to take to boost your immune system, have a healthy GI, and increase your nutrients intake.

First rule in healthy eating is having a healthy GI that can extract, absorb nutrients, and eliminate. The key component to keep a healthy GI is of course lot of nutrients such vitamin C, B, magnesium, zinc, and calcium. And Fiber. Fiber is as important as vitamins and minerals. It helps in bowel motility, improve bile production (an important component of detoxification), and feeds your colonic flora which in turns keeps your colon healthy.

Once you have a healthy GI, then building a healthy diet will keep your immune system strong, keep you energetic, and improve all over wellness. Always remember to exercise as well! Maybe, try some old cheerleading moves!
