ANSWER :

Protein is crucial to build and repair body tissue and also crucial to fight viral and bacterial infections. Too little protein in your diet may weaken your immune system leading to symptoms of weakness or fatigue and even leave you susceptible to an increased risk of infection.

Immune system immunoglobulins, also know as antibodies, rely on protein. Antibodies are activated when an antigen enters the body. Antigens can be a virus or bacteria that can cause infection or disease. Antibodies help fight disease and infection and are themselves made of protein.

Eating lean protein at every meal is a good way to boost your immune sysyem. Lean sources of protein such as pheasant, grouse and partridge are all higher in protein than poultry and venison higher in protein than beef.

Game meat is also naturally leaner due to the lifestyle of wild animals.
