Boosting Immunity While Reducing Inflammation
Channel: NutritionFacts.org
Date: 2013-05-20

Cooked white mushroom consumption stimulates antibody production while potentially still playing an anti-inflammatory role.

The immune boosting fruit and vegetable video I reference is Boosting Immunity Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-immunity-through-diet/). See also Kale and the Immune System (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/kale-and-the-immune-system/) and Sleep & Immunity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/sleep-immunity/).

The balance between immune function and cancer is not always as straightforward as I noted. See my video series that starts with Cancer as an Autoimmune Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-as-an-autoimmune-disease/).
