WHAT ARE IMMUNE SUPPORTING FOODS?
Immune supporting foods are clean foods filled with vitamins, minerals, fibre, trace elements and molecules of every kind. These foods power up your three trillion cells, supporting the bodily workings that create a glorious, healthy you.
Clean foods are defined as whole, nutrient dense, minimally processed, well-sourced and properly prepared.
Here is a list of several foods you can add to your self-isolation eating to strengthen your immune system right now.
Bone Broth and Bone Marrow
Bone broths, made from fish, poultry and other livestock, along with plenty of herbs and vegetables, form the basis of a solidly immune support diet.
The value of bone broth and marrow can be measured in their mineral content. Minerals confer bone strength, organ health, and disease resistance. Adding one bone broth based meal to your daily diet makes a world of difference to your health. And while fighting diseases like COVID-19, these foods support your immune system.

- 2 to 3 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 2 to 3 celery stalks, coarsely chopped

Water
Water could very well be the king of all nutrients, especially given the knowledge that the coronavirus prefers a dry entry point. Keeping your throat and nasal passages moist will create a barrier the virus won’t like and may make it harder to readily penetrate.
Water is, however, the number one nutritional deficiency in North America. You’ll need to up your intake to the recommended 3 litres per day and do your best to stick to that.

Soaked and Fermented Grains
Eating “soaked oats” or “overnight oats” is a big trend at the moment and you may want to consider adopting that trend now if you’d like to give your immune system some help in the face of COVID-19.
The secret is to soak grains before consuming them in order to neutralize phytic acid. Phytic acid is a natural agent in grains (and seeds) that serves as an envelope, protecting the seed until it’s time to grow.
But phytic acid interferes with mineral absorption. You can’t extract the goodness out of the grains if you haven’t soaked them first. Grains soaked and soured in a water and whey or kefir mixture, offer more minerals, B vitamins, enzymes and fibre.
Take it a step further. Do not place your mixture in the fridge. When you prepare it, let it then sit on the counter overnight or for another 24 hours to maximize the fermentation process. More glow for you!

Greens, greens, and more greens!
Leafy greens are nutrient-dense powerhouses, packed with antioxidants that will support your immune system during this stressful time.
Antioxidants are disease fighters. Bring them on board for your quarantine eating. Kale and cabbage are great options during these times as they tend to store easily for longer periods of time.
The lesson is to eat a wide and plentiful array of greens to capture all the phytonutrients, micronutrients and macronutrients available to us via greens.

What is USS?
Must be unrefined sea salt.
Beverly, my thoughts exactly. The ingredient should have been written out and abbreviated in parenthesis.
After reading the recipe it appears that it is missing salt so I believe it means unrefined sea salt. The other abbreviation is Apple Cider Vinegar.
Happy 2022!
