foods good for immunity
As the cold and flu season strokes, holistic nutrition coach Andrea Moss, who is based in New York, reveals her top 10 'miracle-worker' foods that help boost your immune system. One of the best foods is garlic - which she says doesn't have to leave a bad stench on your breath.
An excellent source of vitamin C is citrus fruit. Many vegetables are also excellent sources of vitamin C, such as broccoli, kale, bok choy, turnip greens, beet green, mustard greens, collard greens, Swiss chard, and asparagus. Many of the B-vitamins are also very important in supporting a healthy immune system. For example, vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) promotes the production and release of antibodies from B-cells, and deficiency of vitamin B5 results in reduced levels of circulating antibodies.
