Eating some pretty surprising (and delicious) foods
will help keep your immune system on guard.
To ensure that your body and
immunity run smoothly,
first make sure you're rounding out your plate with
plenty of colorful fruits and veggies,
plus 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms strengthen your immune system because they are rich in protein, fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium, and other minerals.
Mushrooms
make up a large part of the fabric of the earth.
one cubic inch of soil can contain eight miles of mycelium.
Green Tea
Green teas are rich in polyphenols, in the form of
natural chemicals called catechins.
The most powerful catechin in tea is
epigallocatechin (EGCG), which was found in one study to be 25 to 100 times
more potent than antioxidant vitamins C and E.
And Match is more than
100 times as potent in EGCG as regular brewed green tea.
Tulsi Tea
Tulsi tea, coming from the holy basil herb, has been used for thousands of years in the Ayurvedic medicine of India.
Not only is this tea loaded with antioxidants,
but it has multiple positive health benefits,
including supporting your immune
health, memory, heart health and vision.
Garlic
This
potent onion relative contains the active ingredient allicin, which fights
infection and bacteria.
The garlic takers were two-thirds less likely to catch a cold.
Garlic lovers who chow more than six
cloves a week have a 30 percent lower rate of colorectal cancer and a 50 percent
lower rate of stomach cancer.
Green
Leafy Vegetables
Vegetables
come loaded with fiber and nutrients and are some of the healthiest foods on
the planet.
Green leafy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and cabbages
are loaded with essential vitamins and antioxidants that boost immune
system functioning.
Nuts
Nuts
like almonds, peanuts, and walnuts are great sources of fats.
They also contain
vitamin E and zinc along with a good amount of antioxidants.
They are also
versatile and easy to mix with different foods.
To
optimize digestibility of nuts and seeds, soak and dehydrate them first.
And
all nuts and seeds can be easily made into delicious Homemade Nut or Seed
Butter.
SPINACH
Spinach is packed with all sorts of vitamins and nutrients to
keep bodies running well.
Toss with chopped veggies for a salad, or blend into
a smoothie for powerful immune boost in a form that even the kids will devour.
YOGURT
Probiotics are the star of the show in
yogurt’s claim to immune-boosting fame.
Layer with oats and honey for an
immunity-parfait.
Be Healthy and Keep Smiling.
