“I hope we’re all staying home and staying safe but hopefully we’re also staying active too because we’ve got to give our body what it needs at this time to support a healthy immune system,” Brady said.
He encouraged people to stay hydrated and eat nutrient-dense vegetables, adding that it's also important to consume vitamin C and zinc to support the immune system.
