As we prepare for the change of season and new routines, we want to support the body through this transition by providing nutrients that are helpful for our nervous system and resiliency, along with gut health and immune system. 

.

This recipe contains lemon, carrots & cabbage, which are high in vitamins like A & C. These are powerful antioxidants that help protect the body against free radicals and support the immune system. Vitamin C is also helpful for the adrenals, helping us build a robust stress response & keep us healthy during more stressful months.

.

The polyphenols found in colourful veggies, along with prebiotics from fruits like apples & functional mushrooms, help support a healthy gut bacteria, needed for proper immune function. Studies show that Lion’s Mane can help support gut health and boost immune function by reducing inflammation in the gut and enhancing the body’s immune response, particularly by increasing IgM levels, an important antibody in the immune system.

.

Functional mushrooms, like Maitake & Shiitake, are packed with beta-glucans, which are compounds that support the immune system by enhancing the activity of immune cells like macrophages and T-cells.
