Foods that Strengthen Your Immunity: Keys to a Fast and Healthy Recovery

• Start with soup, as bone broth contains minerals that can help strengthen your immune system.

• Consider adding yogurt with probiotics, which can improve your sleep, digestion, and overall immunity.

• Opt for lean meats, especially those with omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce persistent inflammation.
