Some Facts
It’s the season of pumpkin – and pumpkin is known to be pretty low in calories with a lot of fiber and Vit C! Pumpkin also has a lot of carotenoids (they are found in colorful plants which your body can turn into Vit A which are ALSO powerful antioxidants that your body uses to fight off infection and enhance your immune response – take that flu shot! Just kidding, eating pumpkin shouldn't make you think you can’t get sick, you just are doing your body good).

Cooked pumpkin also has more potassium than a banana-er.

Speaking of season (ing) – cinnamon, deadly in inhale during the cinnamon challenge, is equally deadly in fighting fungal infections. Sure, we all got some fungus in us which is natural and our immune system keeps it in check.

You f*** up your immune system and BAM the inmates run the asylum! And if anyone knows about the non-cool fungal infections, it’s this girl! Thrush, candida, ringworm, Pneumocystis pneumonia. . .have some cinnamon. It’s delicious.

Drink up, friends.
