SQUASH
To avoid catching a cold, sore throat, or fever this season, you have to take the right preventative measures. Here are five foods that will strengthen your immune system.
Squash are rich in beta-carotene, which is fundamental in combating infections of the body. Try making a hearty squash soup for a healthy and delicious meal at the end of the day.
GINGER
Ginger helps the body eliminate toxins and flush out any harmful substances that have begun to accumulate. It can also relieve stress and cure physical and mental fatigue.
HONEY
Honey is beneficial for your respiratory tract, protecting it from many viruses and bacteria. You can easily incorporate more of it into your diet by using it in the place of sugar in your coffee or tea. About one teaspoon every day is an ideal dose.
GARLIC
Garlic can help prevent colds, bronchitis, and the flu. And because it’s a versatile ingredient that is so commonly used to flavor food, it’s easy to work into your diet.
BROCCOLI
Broccoli aids your body’s intraepithelial lymphocytes (located in the intestine and skin) to function properly. These are the body’s first defense against infections, so keeping them strong is a powerful preventative against all the illnesses this season might send your way.
