Ep 88: Immune power: The Role of Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Nutrient Combinations

What does dietary fat have to do with your immune system? What happens when someone has a low fat diet? Are there certain nutrients that need fat to be absorbed?

Having dietary fat in your meals is important for a number of reasons but in this episode we talk about it from a nutrient absorption perspective. We are heading into cold and flu season and "immune boosting" products are everywhere. What does eating enough fat have to do with the immune system and what foods can you get more of in order to improve your body's defense system?

In this episode we talk about:

- Macronutrients vs micronutrients

- Fat-soluble vs water-soluble nutrients

-Why certain nutrients need other nutrients to absorb better

- How to use ingredient combinations to maximize absorption.
