Recorded Webinar: The Role of Nutrients in Developing a Healthy Immune System
This webinar was presented on Tuesday, August 9, 2022, from 2-3 p.m. ET.
Consumers are consistently misled and misinformed about the role of specific vitamin and mineral supplements that claim to support the immune system. What’s more, this has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Join Mike Roussell, PhD., as he discusses the role of a nutrient-rich dietary pattern that includes pistachios to support overall immune health. Dr. Mike will describe specific benefits of key nutrients that play a role in developing a healthy immune response. He will also explore the lifestyle “blockers” that may impair and impede the most robust attempts at using nutrition to enhance the body’s immune response to external pathogens.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, nutrition professionals will be better able to:
- Identify and describe specific modifiable and non-modifiable factors that impact the body’s immune response.
- Describe the way in which immune-specific nutrients contribute to the body’s immune response.
- Recommend and counsel clients on specific nutrients that may support immune function.
