Your immune system is a wonderous collection of white blood cells and other cell types that interact with each other to defend you against invasion by microbes, viruses, fungi and toxins. Without it, you would quickly succumb to these invaders. This defensive army is on constant patrol for “foreign” molecules  collectively known as ‘antigens’ – proteins, sugars, and other substances that are not supposed to be there, and it attacks them with a variety of weapons including T-cells that can directly destroy foreign tissues, and B-cells that make antibodies which attach to antigens and mark them for destruction.

FROM JACEE’S KITCHEN

Jacee’s Veggie Pizza

English muffins become mini pizzas in this simple recipe from ReMend mentor Jacee, topped with garlic, sautéed vegetables, herbs, and a sprinkle of cheese.

How he makes it

Pre-toast the English muffin halves. Add fresh garlic and olive oil, then top with sautéed onions, peppers, squash, herbs, and a sprinkle of low-sodium cheese. Bake at 350°F for 7 minutes.
