There is an abundance of food available in the United States, but the standard American diet has only worsened immune function, making our resistance to parasites even less effective.
While Americans consume excessive calories, these calories are usually from highly processed, highly refined foods and oils. The most affordable, convenient foods are often lacking nutrients while being full of sugar and simple carbohydrates (that quickly turn into sugar in the body), which harm the immune system, organs, and cellular health.
The majority of packaged foods in grocery store aisles are nearly devoid of bioavailable forms of nutrients like vitamin A, selenium, and zinc, yet these are vital vitamins and minerals for your immune system to function well.
To fight parasites and other infections, your immune system must be strong enough to fight them off.
The consumption of pesticide-free vegetables and fruits is far from optimal in America, and less intake of fruits and vegetables only adds to the problem. Although most people eat too much, they don’t consume enough healthy, nutrient-dense foods.
