Natural Ways to Boost Immunity
Let’s face it. No one likes being sick. It can cause major disruptions in your work and personal life and have a trickle-down effect to your mental psyche.
Even if illness may often seem inevitable, are there ways to better prepare your body for a potential onslaught of invaders?
Each day, your immune system works as a defense mechanism to keep bacteria and viruses under control — either by preventing new infections or fighting against current illnesses.
You need vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to keep your body in peak form. Harvard says that in general, you should strive for 50% fruits and vegetables, 25% whole grains and 25% lean meats and proteins.
Here are some common examples of food groups to choose from.
*Fruits and vegetables including: Leafy greens, Tomatoes, Apples, Citrus fruits and Berries
*Whole grains including: Whole wheat, Barley, Quinoa, Oats and Brown rice
*Lean meats and proteins including: Seafood, Poultry, Beans and Nuts
Many fruits and vegetables, particularly berries and leafy greens, are high in antioxidants. Kale, one of the more popular superfoods, also boasts omega-3 fatty acids.
