Video Transcript

"This clip is on cancer and on general immune health as well and actually nutrition has a large role in your immune health and can definitely help you prevent your chances of cancer as well as help you with your recovery process so really the most important thing you can do is you focus on supporting good immune health and there are lots of nutrients needed to do that. Protein is at the core of your immune system so focusing on healthy or organic if possible proteins is key. Also focus on your minerals particularly zinc which is very important for your immune function. Focus on your antioxidants which come from all of your bright colored fruits and vegetables and that gives you kind of every color of the rainbow in your vegetable and fruit department, gives you a different class of antioxidants that will then go to reduce the free radicals that will cause cellular problems and eventually cancer and the other main thing that I would love to impart with you is to use good mental health to promote a good immune system."
