10 WAYS TO BOLSTER YOUR IMMUNITY

REPLENISH YOUR ELECTROLYTES

Electrolytes are tiny charged mineral particles that dissolve in your body’s fluids and help conduct electricity. They are responsible for so many processes, one of which is maintaining normal immune function.

Some of the better-known electrolytes include calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium. For an immediate boost as well as long-term immunity, consume plenty of electrolyte-rich foods such as bananas, pickles and coconut water, or a restorative salts solution, especially if you have recently been ill or you have undertaken extreme exercise.

‘Calcium- and magnesium-rich foods include dairy, green leafy veg and nuts. Potassium is found in sweet potatoes).
