One is selenium. If someone has cancer, selenium is their best friend. The 200mcg daily dose is not an anti-cancer dose. 800mcgs is.
Another, for general immunity, is zinc.
The third is chicken soup. It's not just a wives' tale. The health benefits of chicken soup have been scientifically proven. But what is it in chicken soup that makes it so healthy? Is it the chicken meat? Nope, though the chicken does help to restore strength. Is it the chicken fat? Nope, though the fat also fortifies you. Is it the vegetables? Nope, but you need vegetables to digest the protein. But the real immune benefits derived from chicken soup have always come from the marrow inside the bones that were often served as part of homemade chicken soup. You'll not find any bones in Campbell's though that soup is good and is good for you to some degree. The salt in the soup helps to restore electrolytes from dehydration.
