Ahhhh, a snack you can whip up in a jiffy and feel good about!

 

 

There’s so much simplicity and goodness here, it’s hard to highlight just one thing!

So let’s focus on immunity.

Oats are rich in manganese, a mineral that we know helps combat inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the body’s immune system response to a threat. So regulating inflammation directly supports a healthy immune system.

Cinnamon has been known as a superfood for centuries.  It’s packed full of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. Studies suggest that cinnamaldehyde, one of the main active components of cinnamon, may even help fight various kinds of infection. In fact, cinnamon oil has been shown to effectively treat respiratory tract infections caused by fungi. It can also inhibit the growth of certain bacteria, including Listeria and Salmonella 

Apples are high in pectin, a special type of fiber that binds to cholesterol and heavy metals in the body. This helps eliminate toxic build up and naturally cleanse the intestinal tract.  Why is your intestinal tract so important for immunity?  Because up to 80% of our immune nodules actually live in the intestinal tract!

We left our favorite for last!

Honey, how sweet you are [for my immunity and so much more!]  Honey is full of all the good “antis” – anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-viral!  Many people use it as a natural and safe cough suppressant. Some studies show that it is even more effective than cough medicine.
