Nutrition TIp: Want a stronger immune system? Then be sure to get an adequate amount of saturated fat in during the day. Saturated fats found in food sources such as butter, coconut oil, and red palm oil contain fatty acids such as lauric and myristic acid. These fatty acids are anti-microbial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. Including a variety of saturated fat sources can help the body fight off infections and boost the immune system. Not only does saturated fat play a key role in immune function, but it also can improve body composition, help your body burn fat easier, improve brain function and mood, boost reproductive health, and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
