Immune Boosting Foods
Nutritious foods are a great way to assist your body in staying healthy. Here is a list of immune boosting foods that can help prevent you from getting sick this season:
- Dark leafy greens – These are packed with vitamin C – a vitamin that enhances white blood cell activity and possesses anit-viral properties. Vitamin C also has a role in reducing cancer rate, protects against pollution and cigarette smoke, and even increases life expectancy. They are a definite MUST during cold and flu season.
- Nuts and Seeds – Full of zinc, which play a vital role in many reactions in the body. Specifically, it increases T-cell activity and overall immune system functioning as well as having anti-viral activity.
- Fish—Salmon, mackerel and herring are rich in vitamin D, a vitamin which can up-regulate your disease fighting potential. They are also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which have a huge role in reducing inflammation, and improving auto-immune conditions.
- Garlic and Onions—These have anti microbial, anti-viral and anti fungal properties, which fight infections and bacteria. Sautee them with your favourite foods to give yourself extra protection
