The immune system needs to receive nutrition in order to function well. This nutrition is obtained from the foods we consume. Eating the right type of foods helps us resist many ailments and illnesses such as cold and flu, and keeps us strong and healthy.

Here are ten immune boosting foods that will help you strengthen your immunity.



01.     Red bell peppers:

Vitamin C, in addition to boosting immunity, also helps in maintaining the health of the skin. Red bell peppers contain twice the amount of vitamin C as citrus fruits, and are also a valuable source of beta carotenes.


02.    Citrus fruits:

Vitamin C assists in increasing the production of white blood cells, which play a key role in fighting disease. The body does not produce vitamin C, and neither does it store it. Therefore we need to obtain our daily requirement of vitamin C from the foods we eat. Mostly all citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C.


03.    Garlic:

Garlic is known to fight infections and helps in lowering cholesterol levels. It also prevents the arteries from hardening. Its beneficial properties come from sulphur compounds such as allicin.


04.    Broccoli:

Broccoli is loaded with vitamins and minerals and helps in fighting off germs. It contains vitamins A, E and C, as well as many antioxidants. It is considered to be one of the healthiest vegetables.


05.    Spinach:

Spinach contains antioxidants and beta carotene, which help to increase the white blood cells in the body. It is also a good source of vitamin C.


06.    Ginger:

Ginger helps to prevent colds from occurring. It is also known to aid in reducing chronic pain and helps to lower cholesterol.


07.    Yogurt:

Yogurts that contain live and active cultures are known to strengthen the immune system. One can also opt for yogurt that is fortified with vitamin D.


08.    Almonds:

Another vitamin that is essential for proper functioning of the immune system is vitamin E. Vitamin E is known as a fat soluble vitamin and therefore there must be fat present for it to become absorbed well. Nuts, such as almonds are rich sources of this vitamin. Just half a cup of nuts provides the body with almost 100 percent of the daily recommended amount.


09.    Turmeric:

Turmeric is a well known spice that has long been used to treat inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.


10.    Green Tea:

Green tea is full of flavonoids which help in fighting germs and infection.
