Meat contains nutrients that can help strengthen your immune system.
Protein play a key role in healing and recovery, not just for sore muscles but your immune system, too.
Zinc helps with wound healing and a strong immune system. Red meat and poultry are the primary sources of zinc in the typical American diet.
Iron and vitamin B12 have also been shown to help aid in immunity, which are also found in meat.
