Immune Boosting Foods

In the beginning of the autumn, it is necessary to reinforce the immune system and avoid the common cold, which is usual for this time of year. I for example didn't do that so I have a flu at the moment...Not to end up like me in bed, here is some super food for boosting your immune system:

1. Elderberry - It's an old folk remedy. This fruit is loaded with antioxidants and may help fight inflammation. In some test-tube studies, an extract from the berries appears to block flu viruses.

2. Button mushrooms - They're a source of the mineral selenium and the B vitamins riboflavin and niacin. That can be helpful on several fronts. Low levels of selenium are linked to a higher risk of getting a more severe flu. Riboflavin and niacin play a role in a healthy immune system.

3. Acai berry - Its dark color is a sign that it's got plenty of antioxidants called anthocyanins.

4. Oysters - They've got zinc in them which have antiviral effect.

5. Watermelon - When it's ripe, it's also got plenty of a powerful antioxidant called glutathione which helps strengthen the immune system. You can find the most glutathione in the red pulpy flesh near the rind.

6. Cabbage - It's a source of immune-strengthening glutamine.

7. Almonds - One-quarter cup has nearly 50% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin E, which helps boost the immune system. They also have riboflavin and niacin, which may help you bounce back from the effects of stress.

8. Grapefruit - It's packed with flavonoids - natural chemical compounds that have been found to increase 

immune system activity. They also have a good amount of vitamin C.

9. Wheat germ - It's the part of a wheat seed that feeds a baby wheat plant and it's packed with nutrients. It's a great way to get zinc, antioxidants and B vitamins. 

10. Low-Fat yogurt - A cup a day may reduce your chances of getting a cold. Look for labels that say "live and active cultures".

11. Garlic - It has several antioxidants that battle immune system invaders. H. pylori is one of its targets - the bacteria linked to some ulcers and stomach cancer.

12. Spinach - You'll find lots of nutrients in this "super food". One of them is folate, which helps your body make new cells and repair DNA. It also boasts fiber, antioxidants like vitamin C and more. Eat spinach raw or lightly cooked to get the most benefit.

13. Tea - Feel free to choose green or black. Both are loaded with disease-fighting polyphenols and flavonoids which seek out cell-damaging free radicals and destroy them. Caffeinated and decaf work equally well.

14. Sweet potato - Like carrots, sweet potato have the antioxidant beta-carotene which mops up damaging free radicals. They also have vitamin A which may reduce the risk of some cancers and is linked to a slow-down in the aging process.
