Clams are low in fat and contain selenium and zinc for a well-functioning immune system. In addition, a portion of clams provides half of the daily requirement of vitamin D, which is important for a healthy immune system, pushing the defense cells, which can then react more quickly to attackers.

Buy fresh clams shortly before preparation, as they do not stay fresh for long.
