A healthy lifestyle is the single best step you can take toward naturally keeping your immune system strong and healthy. Every system in your body, including the immune system, functions better when you consume a wide variety of plants, especially green vegetables.
This is a super simple salad that's packed with vitamins, minerals, fibre and healthy fats. We recommend adding a protein source like salmon, chicken or beans and lentils to keep it plant-based.
