Do You Know Which Superfoods Enhance Your Immune System?

By Lola Lehrer


We've all been taught the best steps to take to have optimum health. You need to make sure that you get enough exercise. You need to make sure you drink enough water. And, of course, you need to eat balanced, nutritious food. These are all good ideas, but suppose your immune system needs a power boost? During the change of seasons, are you feeling a little under the weather? Can you really go to your grocery store and buy certain foods to make your immune system stronger? Are there actually such things as superfoods? We're happy to tell you that superfoods do exist and some are specifically for boosting your immune system. Read on to learn about three superfoods that can help make your immune system stronger.

Do you like almonds? They are a wonderful immune-boosting superfood that a lot of folks don't even know about. One factor that makes almonds a superfood is the magnesium they contain. Why is magnesium so important? It makes your cells strong. It is also key in the boosting of your immune system. Grab a handful of almonds and munch down. They're good, aren't they? Also, you can find them easily. You can buy them at any grocery store They're fun to bake with. You can make many different snacks and desserts with almonds. Do you have a favorite homemade granola recipe? If so, make sure you include some chopped up almonds. An easy way to add plain almonds to your daily routine is to eat them plain. Keep a bowl in plain sight and grab a handful from time to time.

Do you like vegetable juice? It's one of the easiest ways to strengthen your immune system, as well as supplying your body with vitamins and minerals. If you've ever paid attention to the V-8 Juice commercials, you know how healthy it is to drink veggie juices. Believe what they told you, because it's true. Naturally, you don't have to just choose V-8 Juice. Maybe you would prefer to blend your own juices. There are many juicers on the market that can do this for you. This gives folks the choice of which vegetables and spices to use, plus they can vary their juices instead of always drinking the same flavor. There are other benefits to drinking vegetable juice besides its benefits to your immune system. Juices are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fluids that help you maintain your health.

Unfortunately, vampires can't benefit from this great food that strengthens your immune system - it's garlic. We'll be the first to admit that garlic has a strong odor. But it also has the nutrients you need to boost the power of your immune system. Uncooked garlic is the best way to get the benefits of the nutrients in this superfood. The power of garlic is best if you eat it uncooked, even though you may have to get used to doing this at first. Well, some of you just won't be able to deal with raw garlic, but you can still boost your immune system and add great flavor to your food if you include it in what you cook. Don't be afraid to use a lot of garlic. I have a great recipe called 40 Clove Garlic and it's delicious. Use as much as you can and you will feel wonderful.

Unfortunately, vampires can't benefit from this great food that strengthens your immune system - it's garlic. It does have a distinct odor, but the nutrients contained in these small cloves are numerous. Eating garlic raw is the preferred way to take advantage of its nutrients. Obviously this is going to pack quite a punch, but if you really want the superfood power, this is how the garlic must be eaten. If you can't bring yourself to do it, adding chopped garlic into the food your cooking is a great way to add flavor to your meals while also improving your immune system at the same time. Use as much as you want! You will feel great.

Work out three to five times a week, without fail. Keep water handy during the day and make sure you don't let your body get dehydrated. Take the time to plan healthful, balanced meals for yourself and your family. For better protect, and a stronger immune system, make it a habit to eat immune-boosting superfoods frequently. Do some research online or buy a book on superfoods. That will give you even more to choose from than the three we've discussed in this report.
