During the quarantine, experts recommend consuming healthy meals that strengthen the body’s defenses. Foods rich in zinc (pumpkin seeds, peanuts, almonds), iron (fish and tuna), vitamin C (lime, pineapple, strawberry, and watermelon), vitamin B (all the legumes), and honey are highly advisable when it comes to this matter.
So, we couldn’t let the chance of sharing with you these two gorgeous recipes slip away. The best of all, it’s that both gather all the nutrients you must eat to become stronger against viruses.
