My Immune-Boosting Grocery List. Mayor Bill de Blasio announces plans to fully reopen NYC by July 1st.
Now, while there are many different opinions on how and if this should happen, the fact of the matter is it’s happening. Life in our new reality, must move forward. People often forget that while your mask is important, i.e what’s worn outside your body – what goes inside of your body is much more important. Eating meals that include nutritious food strengthens your immune system, preparing your body to win any fight, with any virus.
As a stylist, I have to be in constant contact with people – travelling, coming within 6 ft of a model etc. So I make sure to eat with intention. And it’s honestly very easy to incorporate foods & herbs that strengthen your immune system, into every meal!
