Superfoods for Your Immune System

By Jesse Petka


You know, as well as I, what you must do if your body is to be healthy. Getting enough exercise is very important for your health. It's very important to drink enough water throughout your day to keep your body hydrated. You need to make sure that you eat a balanced diet. 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? No doubt you have been told that there are superfoods that can power up your immune system. Are there really foods such as these? Of course, there are! Below we will talk about some of the superfoods you can eat weekly that will help boost your immune system.

Eat some Brazil Nuts! Brazil Nuts are packed to the brim with selenium. If you want a good source of selenium, Brazil Nuts are considered one of the best. Selenium helps protect against deterioration caused by free radicals. There are many other health issues that selenium is important for treating - many different types of infections, cancer, and heart disease, for instance. It is particularly useful in fighting against the bacteria that takes up residence in your gut area. It's easy to figure out which of your recipes will be enhanced if you add Brazil Nuts. They complement many dishes. Toss a handful into your salad for a great tasting protein boost. You can also eat Brazil Nuts fresh.

Raw kale is what you want to eat, as it's better for you than cooked kale. Raw kale is one of the very best forms of vitamin C that you can find. Other benefits of kale include its high fiber and low sugar content. Raw kale is quite a lot better for you than cooked kale, because the cooking of the kale reduces the amount of vitamin C that you take in.

Vitamin C doesn't survive well when it's exposed to the cooking process. So, when you add kale to your diet, such as in salads, be sure it's raw. In order to include this important Vitamin C in your diet, and strengthen your immune system, plan at least one meal a week to include raw kale.

You can find different superfoods to help with whatever health concerns you might have. I've even seen a book with over 100 superfoods explained. Once you are aware of which superfoods can enhance your health, it's an easy matter to start incorporating them into the meals you already know how to prepare. This article has made you aware of three superfoods that are easy to include in your diet. You now have information on three superfoods that are helpful in increasing the strength of your immune system; however, there are many, many more. Continue with your research on superfoods and you will find that there are many that can help you maintain your health.
