Stronger Plates, Stronger You: Meal Planning for Immune Support

Nutrients That Matter Most

Focus on vitamin C from citrus and peppers, vitamin D from fortified foods and fatty fish, zinc from legumes and seeds, and antioxidants from colorful produce. Build meals that combine these allies consistently, not occasionally.

Balanced Plates, Better Defense

Anchor every plate with protein for antibodies, vibrant vegetables for phytonutrients, whole grains for energy, and healthy fats for nutrient absorption. Consistency multiplies benefits, so plan patterns, not isolated superfood moments.

Budget-Friendly Immune Planning
