The immune system is our primary barrier against harmful pathogens in the environment around us. Not only does it protect us from pathogens, but it is also responsible for the inflammatory responses in the body - the good and the bad. That is right, our immune system does more than just keep us healthy from illness, it also helps our body heal damaged tissues.
Often, we look for ways to "boost" the immune system, but a more accurate and beneficial method is to find immune modulators. Immune modulators are useful in cases of either under or overactive immune states. The body's goal is homeostasis, so optimizing a balanced immune response will lead to an immune system that is strong and efficient without causing any negative side effects.
Nature is the best source of immune modulators because the body knows exactly what to do with nutrients and it is almost impossible to overdo it. When we turn to supplements, the high doses can throw off delicate nutrient balances.
Shellfish for Zinc
Shellfish (oysters, crab, mussels, shrimp) are healthy, low-calorie sources of zinc. Oysters contain particularly high amounts, with 6 medium oysters providing 32mg, or 291% of daily needs.
Bell Peppers for Vitamin C
Move over citrus, bell peppers are stealing the show! Per cup, bell peppers provide approximately 152mg of vitamin c, which is 169% of DV. Color matters! Red bell peppers provide around 50% more vitamin C than green bell peppers. And always choose organic because conventional bell peppers are heavily sprayed with pesticides.
Herbs for Antioxidants
Not only are herbs an excellent choice for supporting immune health, but they also make food taste amazing! Next time you are cooking, experiment with the bold flavors of ginger, oregano, garlic, rosemary, parsley, cilantro, and sage for a therapeutic culinary experience.
Fish & Seeds for Omega 3 Fatty Acids
More than just for hearth health, recent research is pointing to omega-3s for preventing and treating inflammatory and immune diseases. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are part of the building blocks of cell membranes. They are also known as EFAs (essential fatty acids) because they cannot be created in the body, and as such must be consumed in the diet. The best food sources for omega-3s include wild salmon, anchovies, caviar, and sardines but you can also get them from flax seeds, chia sees, and walnuts.
Green Veggies for Phytonutrients
Leafy greens are rich in nutrients and great for detoxing, which is important for our immune health as well as every cell in our body. Greens supply us with phytonutrients which are plant chemicals developed by the plants to protect themselves from various pests, such as insects, animals, and UV rays, etc.; and when we eat these phytonutrients they protect us as well โ win, win! Phytonutrients are also responsible for the โphunโ (haha, get it? Phun/fun) part of the food โ color, smell, and taste. They are antioxidant, antibiotic, antiviral, cancer preventative, anti-inflammatory, protective, immune-supportive and immune stimulating.

FRIDAY SUPPLEMENT TIP!
Right now, more than ever, it is so important to make sure your body is getting everything it needs. Especially in regards to our immune system.
Where do you begin? Vitamin D
What are the health benefits?
Supports the immune system by fighting off bacteria and viruses.
Helps your body absorb calcium.
Good for Strengthening bones and oral health
Helps support cognitive health
How do I know that I have the best quality?
Itโs best to get your Vitamin D3 by getting in the sun with bare skin for limited amounts of time. You never want to get the skin burned, It just takes about 20 min of sun exposure to produce 10,000 IU of D3
There aren't a lot of food sources rich in Vitamin D unless fortified artificially.
However supplementing with a good source of Vitamin D is an excellent way to increase your levels. Just 3 drops of Liqua-D will give you 6,000 IU of Vitamin D. Itโs tasteless and easy to use daily and it will help boost your immunity especially during this Covid period.
Contact Barb@beachfitness.com to get your supply of Vitamin D.
Throwing it back to Monday when we sent out our finest to represent in the 14th Annual John R. Russell Golf Classic for St. Hedwig.

Ooh, me! Me! Pick me!!
The shorter, darker days of winter can sometimes make us feel more tired earlier in the evening, with little energy for cooking dinner. Enter the slow cooker to save the day! (Or, night, rather....)
Taking only 10 minutes in prep time, this creamy and savory dish won't set you too far behind in your morning routine before setting it and forgetting it while going about your day.
Sub with Greek yogurt and skip the added shredded
cheese to save on calories.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Wrap the potatoes individually in foil.
2. Season the chicken with salt and garlic powder and place on one end of the slow cooker, cover with 1/4 cup enchilada sauce.
3. Place the potatoes on the other end, stacking 2 on top of 2.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until potatoes are tender.
5. When done, remove the potatoes and chicken.
6. Transfer chicken to a small bowl and roughly shred with 2 forks and add the remaining enchilada sauce.
7. Split open the sweet potatoes, then top with 2/3 cup of the enchilada chicken.
8. Drizzle each half with 1 tablespoon cheese and place under the broiler 2 to 3 minutes, or until melted.
9. Garnish each potato with 1 tablespoon sour cream and scallions or cilantro.

FRIDAY SUPPLEMENT TIP!
Vitamin C helps supports a healthy Immune system by encouraging the production of white wood cells needed to fight off infections.
It is an essential nutrient because it cannot be produced by the body, it needs to be ingested from quality food sources or supplementation.
Vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body by forming an important protein used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. It also supports healing wounds and forming scar tissue.
Apex C-Zyme is a great supplement to help you get the Vitamin C you need.
+ C-Zyme 1000โข supports immune function and nonheme iron absorption
+ Includes 1000 mg of buffered antioxidant vitamin C per serving
+ Combined with calcium, magnesium, and potassium, as well as a proprietary blend of enzymes that support the nutrients' breakdown and bioavailability

Skillet Steak Fajitas
If you are looking for a recipe that qualifies for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner โ you may have just found it!
The versatility of this dish is endless. Mix up with some eggs to enjoy as a scramble or breakfast burrito, toss it (hot or cold) with butter lettuce, arugula, and cilantro for a fresh lunch salad, or serve traditionally with tortillas (non-GMO corn, grain free, lettuce wrap, or Egg Thins) and you have the perfect meal.
You really canโt ever go wrong with high quality meat sizzled up with fresh veggies and all your favorite Mexican flavors.
Sometimes the most delicious meals really are the most simple.
Instructions:
Combine 2 teaspoons olive oil, chili powder, chipotle powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl, mixing until a paste forms. Rub the skirt steak on both sides with the spice paste.
Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil while the steak rests.
Meanwhile, scrape up any browned bits from the cast iron and add the remaining olive oil. Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet, stirring regularly for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are seared and softened. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
Turn off the heat. Slice the skirt steak thinly across the grain and place on a large serving plate. Top with the cooked vegetables, avocado slices, and chopped tomato. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired. Serve with gluten free or paleo tortillas, if desired.

Ahhh, California weatherโฆ.
Our seasons have very blurred lines when compared to the rest of the country. While many places are covered in snow, our winter is trying to transition into spring and that can leave our taste buds somewhere in between warm-and-hearty and fresh-and-flavorful.

The avocado is fresh and pesto and flavorful and hearty. Perfect for when you arenโt quite sure what to have for dinner.

1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons sea salt

ELDOA.
ELDOA Fitness is the instruction and active use of these postural exercises, in a typical class we start by executing a proper warm up and then move into reinforcement exercises for the spine and other joints. Next we move into Myofascial Stretches (MFS), then we spend time in the ELDOA postures.
Both MFS and ELDOA postures can be very specific and complex techniques that require strong attention to form and correct progressions, which is why it is best to start with a coachโs guidance.
Sign up for a class and start feeling relief!
