Surprising Canadian Foods That Boost Your Immunity Dr. Jordan Atkinson B.Sc. ND
Saskatoon Berries These tiny purple gems are not only delicious in pies! They are rich in antioxidants, which are important to help ward off damaging free radicals in your body. Sea Buckthorn Berries You may not be familiar with these orange-colored berries, but they are a Vitamin C powerhouse. Indeed, they have much more Vitamin C than oranges!
Maple Syrup (Pure) Aside from being a tasty pancake topping, pure Canadian maple syrup is rich in antioxidants. These antioxidants can protect your cells and also help your immune system stay healthy. Wild Rice This North American native grain is more than a side dish. It's a zinc- rich food, a mineral important for immune cell function. Adding wild rice to your diet can be a flavorful way to give your body a boost of support.
Acadian Dulse (Seaweed) This Atlantic red seaweed is a source of vitamins and minerals, such as iodine and iron. Both iodine and iron are vital for the proper functioning of the immune system. Dulse flakes are available to sprinkle over salads or toss into soups for that special flavour.
