As the weather cools and flu season approaches, it’s essential to strengthen your immune system. Nutrient-rich meats can play a vital role in that. At Burts Catering Butchers, we offer a wide range of high-quality meats that provide essential nutrients to keep your body strong and healthy. If you want to boost your immune system with nutrient-rich meats then please read on.

The Power of Red Meat

Red meat is an excellent source of iron and zinc, both critical for immune health. Zinc, found in beef and lamb, helps in the production of white blood cells, the body’s first line of defence against infections. Additionally, red meat is rich in B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports the immune system by aiding in the production of healthy red blood cells.

Boost Your Vitamin Intake

Vitamin D is crucial for immune function. While it’s typically associated with sun exposure, certain meats can also be a valuable source. Fatty cuts like pork and beef contain vitamin D, helping your body fight off seasonal colds and flu.

Liver: The Nutrient Powerhouse

Liver, a superfood often overlooked, is packed with vitamins A, D, B12, and iron. All of these are essential for bolstering your immune response. Adding liver from Burts to your diet ensures you’re getting a concentrated dose of these critical nutrients.

Bone Broth Benefits

Burts Catering Butchers also offers a variety of boned meats perfect for making nutritious bone broth. Bone broth contains collagen and amino acids like glutamine. This helps the gut, an important part of immune health, as 70% of the immune system resides in the gut.
