A balanced diet supplies nutrients that support the body's normal functions, including the immune and lymphatic systems.
Important nutrients include:
Vitamin C, which supports normal immune function
Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds
Protein, which supports tissue maintenance and repair
Fiber, which promotes digestive health
Water, which helps maintain normal hydration and fluid balance
Eating a wide variety of nutrient-rich foods is the best way to obtain these nutrients.
If you think you may have a nutrient deficiency or are considering supplements, consult a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
