Foods to Boost a Lions Immune System

Broccoli: It is the powerhouse of cruciferous vegetables. With all of its Vitamin A and C it’s one of the most antioxidant rich foods there are! And did you know that 1 cup of cooked broccoli has more Vitamin C than an orange? So don’t think you’re missing out because you can’t have fruit.

Fish Oils: Packed with Omega 3 fatty acids, fish oils provide so many health benefits. Research is exploring all of the possibilities of this nutrient to fight off/ward off different diseases. The fatty acids can help boost immune function by increasing survival and reducing illness severity.

Garlic: The allyl sulfur compounds in garlic may help ward off illness and aid in overall health.

Organic Eggs: Eggs provide excellent protein for a Lion. When you buy organic eggs, you are ensuring that you are getting a protein higher in vitamins and minerals than its conventional counterpart and that the animal was not treated with hormones, fed diet additives, and the like.

Lions B-Happy!

B-complex vitamins are important for our mental and emotional health. Our bodies cannot store these vitamins, which means we must depend on our diet and supplements to provide these daily. Vitamin B-3, B-6, B-12, and folic acid deficiencies have been found to have a direct relationship to depression. What is the best way to get them? Eat your vegetables, especially the green, leafy ones! Vitamin B12 is unique in that it is primarily found in animal foods including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products.

AVOID

Artificially Engineered Low and Reduced Carb Foods

When we tell you to limit your carb intake, we don’t mean go out and purchase carbohydrate based foods that have been altered to be considered low carb. The limited amount of carbs you do have should be nutrient dense and natural. Like vegetables.

The low carb meals, low carb bagels, low carb ice cream you thought would help you on your Lion diet actually made you feel worse. Your health will benefit greatly by eliminating processed foods that are full of food chemicals and things that are toxic to the body.
