The onset of winter presents a not-to-miss opportunity to consume foods that help to support your immune health. To stay #enclosednotexposed, you can take advantage of online ordering for the #wealthontheshelf to support your immune health. Control what you can with your food and supplement plan. Don’t forget that you can order Klean Athlete® products directly online and use your online grocer of choice for easy shopping, without the need for store-hopping. Here are some foods that you may want to add to your list.

Optimizing carbohydrate, protein and omega-3 fatty acid intake is essential for immune health. Fiber-containing foods, prebiotics and probiotics help to give your microbiome a healthy home. And food sources of vitamins and minerals provide not only the micros, but also the hydros (fluid) and the phytos (plant nutrients). Remember: Overall well-being starts in the kitchen but can be supplemented to optimize your nutrition. No matter your goals, a healthy diet is the first step towards achieving a healthier lifestyle and peak performance.
