5 Immune Boosting Foods......
1* Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, Bok Choy, Cauliflower, Kale, and mustard are all curciferous vegetables that can increase your body's ability to fight infection and cancer, with potent source of beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, folate and calcium.
Broccoli provides the highest concentration of disease-busting carotenoids. These break down in the body to form Vitamin A, which helps the proteins that regulate cell-to-cell communication, the foundation of the immune system.
2* Orange-colored vegetables, including carrots, winter squash, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes, are an excellent source of Vitamin C, a famous immune support. These vegetables also contain beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that keeps your immune system strong and healthy. Beta-carotene also benefits your vision, combats cancer, and staves off heart disease. Get the highest dose of beta-carotene from butternut squash,sweet potatoes and yams.
3* Mushrooms help amp up your immune system response by boosting the production of white blood cells; this benefits the cells by increasing cellular metabolism, removing toxins, and preventing damage from free radicals. Your best choice for mushroom varieties are shitake, maitake, and reishi - all of which contain polysaccharides, sterols, coumarin, vitamins, minerals and amino acids that increase your immune function.
4* Whole wheat, oats, quinoa, amaranth, and brown rice improve your immunity, reduce inflammation, and protect you from the risk of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Treat yourself and your immune system to three servings a day.
5* Onions, garlic, and chives perk up the immune system with their boisterous flavor and their rich sources of Vitamin C, potassium, chromium, and selenium. Additionally, they contain volatile oils that are antimicrobial and help stimulate immunity. These vegetables guard you from the disease like diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and certain forms of cancer.
Other potent herbs and spices that support your immune system include ginger, cilantro, rosemary, sage, tumeric, and oregano.
