The very core of our physical well being lies with our immune system. Disorders, diseases and health concerns intertwine with the immune system balance. As we do our weekly food shopping we are always concerned with nutrition, but when we grab that shopping cart, enhancement of our immune system is probably not even a thought.
Here are a few of the top immune system boosters that you can add to your shopping list:
Medicinal Mushrooms
Maitake, shiitake and reishi mushrooms contain powerful immune boosting components known as beta-glucans.
Whey Protein
Whey is a by-product of the cheese making process. It contains many individual protein parts that offer numerous health benefits. By raising glutathione levels in the body, it helps to boost immunity.
Yogurt
Yogurt with live active cultures contains "friendly" bacteria known as probiotics. These friendly bacteria help keep your digestive tract healthy by fending off unwanted bacteria and yeast. They also help boost immunity.
Turmeric
The compound curcumin in turmeric is responsible for its yellow color and has been found to help stimulate the immune system. This spice also has been shown to have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties.
Blueberries
Blueberries are rich in powerful antioxidants and boosting immunity is just one of their many healthy benefits.
Garlic
A centuries-old cold and flu fighter, garlic has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. One of the active components of garlic, allicin, blocks enzymes that allow unwanted viral and bacterial invaders from entering and damaging cells. You don't have to eat raw or fresh garlic to reap these health benefits. Studies have found garlic in supplement form to be effective in preventing the common cold as well.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, the plant form of vitamin A, and other carotenoids. These compounds help support a healthy immune system.
