*With the caveat that these recipes by themselves will likely not prevent COVID-19, they, as well as the other recommendations above for how to incorporate the list of ten food nutrients in on a daily basis, will greatly support your immune function and give you a better shot of sailing through an illness if you do catch it.
High Vitality Trail Mix
(Featuring foods rich in melatonin, vitamin C, and zinc)
Simply mix together 1⁄4 cup of the following: goji berry or aguaymanto/goldenberry, dried mulberry, cashews, sunflower seeds, roasted pumpkin seeds, raisins, raw or roasted almonds, and then add in 1/8 cup of raw cacao nibs for an extra kick if you like!
